I'm trying really hard not to buy this microphone.

We'll have our first rocket-ship on SloanTV!

Last week on the show, you might have noticed that the audio was good-not-great. We purchased a couple of microphones, but were unable to get any of them working on my MacBookPro using the line-in, so we ended up using the built in mic.  We were blown away with the performance, but it's still just not the same as a great mic.

One obvious solution? Use a USB mic! It's plug and play, and basically guaranteed to work. Plust the thing just looks really cool.  The one shown here is called The Yeti.  With a name like that, it HAS to be awesome.
