Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: A lot of us have mobile phones, maybe a tablet, possibly a laptop. Evolutionary changes are becoming more and more specific, with each iteration extra safe. Minimally Advanced Yet Acceptable is a thing, yes, but we need a little bit more surprise…

December 14, 2023Episode 0003: Calendars Good and Evil
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: We live in modern times, and more people than ever have a pocket computer always connected to the Internets. We so rarely rely on a purely-wordy description of a location or how to get there, yet we demur when it comes to these mature, functional tools and methods. Why is the calendar such a challenge?

December 07, 2023Episode 0002: Moderation
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The sort-of-open internet but existing and communicating within corporate silos is a real challenge, is there a way to enable that open part without corporate overlords and without watching words turn to deeds and then into the destruction of civilization? Is mob rule and cancellation a suitable replacement for due process?

November 22, 2023Episode 0000: Rebooting the Channel
Show Notes
Host: Dan Hugo
Summary: The return of the FFS audio program, still talking about what works, what does not work, and what we might do about it. Maybe more emphasis on what does not work, but still, if we are going to try to make it work, we need to know what does not.

Essential work for less-than-essential pay, and these are the workers who will be replaced early in our automated present and future. The entire Work topic should extend far into the distance and out of view to left and right, it is so cast and rife for discussion...
