For the third straight year, CNET News.com reporter and Geek Gestalt blogger Daniel Terdiman is taking his show on the road.

For three weeks he'll be wandering the southeastern United States with a gaggle of gadgets in tow as he checks out the geekiest places the South has to offer. Daniel joins Erica Ogg to talk about the places he's most excited to see, as well as the best ways for readers to interact with him while he's away.

Plus, the Federal Trade Commission gives its OK to Carl Icahn's purchase of a large number of shares of Yahoo stock; Hybrid Technologies says it's working on a 220-mile-per-gallon car; and Google dishes about its data centers.
