In this nerdy episode, we discuss the D-Wave Two quantum computer that recently went online. To warm up the audience, we open with a game concept related to natural language processing and semantic analysis.

Darin Lewis, founder of Mega Inc, joins the program to discuss the gaps between digital marketplaces and physical goods markets. How do 3D printers and other on-demand manufacturing technologies change the collaborative landscape? More importantly, how can we enable a grassroots community to take advantage of existing resources? Also, Darin spends the entire duration of the episode on a balance trainer called an Indo Board. Badass!

This is the first part of an ongoing topic on the process of bringing new users into a mobile app for the first time. We refer to this as onboarding. In this episode, we focus on the interactive aspects of the app installation process, starting when they see a link somewhere in the wild.

In this technical episode, we discuss the how, why, and what of mobile app development with Appcelerator Titanium. If you are considering building an app, you will love this episode. If you already have an app, it will inspire you to refactor.

In this fun filled episode, we talk with Matt Branton, founder of CoinLock, about buying and selling digital content with BitCoin. We also entertain some ideas for beer-delivering robots.

Where is the edge of ownership for regional brands? Can a city have a brand? Who owns the trademark? And why do people in Baltimore refer to flavored crushed ice as a snowball instead of a snow cone?

In this meandering episode, we promise to distract and confuse you with so many topics, you won't be able to follow them. Just kidding... Well, sorta. But seriously, we mostly talk about supporting local economy by buying locally-sourced products and services. It's good for you, your community, and the world. :)

In this special episode, we welcome Kyle Matthews (@kylematthews) and Ben Stark (@zodttd) to the studio to talk about jailbreaking and share their perspective. They each operate as distributors for Cydia, the so-called jailbroken app store. We dig deep into the inner workings of the thriving ecosystem outside iTunes to discover a rich and diverse economy, full of legitimate vendors and eager customers. Hold onto your hats!

We're all over the map on this one, but it's worth your time. The key here is building good code. Make amazing web services with the serviceable library, a Rails gem that allows you to publish amazing web service endpoints. We explore the highlights of a web service made with serviceable. Also, Aubrey bought a standing desk, and that was fun.

In this highly academic episode, we dive into the dynamics of a conversation. We investigate the lifecycle of a conversation, the roles people play within a conversation, and how group dynamics and social graphs influence the momentum and velocity of aggregate interest. You know, just some light reading. We invite you to geek out with us as we scratch the surface of something great. Sorry for all the big words.
