On Feb 22nd a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch, NZ. More than 60 deaths, 75% of the city without power, and billions of dollars in damages. The weird part? It was hit by an even more powerful quake five months ago, and nothing happened.

Tonight, we’ll share a few of the details on quakes, explain some of the science behind them, then go on a sciencey tangent about plate tectonics, volcanoes and fault lines, and even the end of the world!

This morning, the online streaming market exploded as Amazon landed a nut-punch to Netflix by announcing their own streaming service. FREE for Amazon Prime members. Netflix quickly responded with an announcement of their own, revealing a partnership with CBS.

Tonight, we’re taking a closer look at each of these announcements, and seeing how they really stack up against one another. Is Amazon priming up to knock Netflix from the top dog position as King of Streaming? Or can Netflix withstand the punishment?

We’ve all suffered through some bad movies in our day. Looking towards the weekend we have to be honest, nothing good is coming out, nothing good has come out for a while. Frankly Hollywood, we are sick of it! Tonight we fight back and call out Hollywood’s worst movies, castings, and sequels!

The modern video game industry is continually reusing old ideas to sell new video games, but hey never remake the games we actually want to see remade!

Over the weekend dozens of stories have popped up that make us stop and ask... "What the...?". We've collected our favorite and present them for your enjoyment!

In this modern age of hyperconnectivity, it’s amazing that we as humans still tend to have a hard time hooking up with members of the opposite sex. In this season where love is in the air, we thought we’d cover some of the nerdier aspects of Valentine’s Day on the internet. From dating sites to MMOs, we’ve got insights into the culture of online romance.

Sorta.

Or it might just be a bit of fun.

So, you wanna be famous on the internet, eh? We can help!

Y’see, we want J@N to be just as much about what YOU wanna see on the internet, as what we want to show you. It’s a two-way street, but the traffic has been a bit slow on the inbound lanes (psst – that’s you!) so we’re gonna lay down the deets on making your voice a more integral part of our nightly broadcast. Tune in and learn how to be a part of the magic, even if you can’t watch live!

Superbowl scmuperbowl. We’re geeks, and we cared more about what NASA was talking about this weekend, than a bunch of dudes throwing around a ball. And our nerdy attention paid off!

First up, we talk about seeing the WHOLE sun – every last part of its flamey surface. Then we’ll talk about the robots that will eventually kill off humanity, and NASA’s plans to send them into orbit to save us. Lastly, we’ll cover some NASA-related news that’s shown up in the real world lately, regarding the future of the Space Shuttle, as well as their research into a well-known and overhyped “disaster” story from last year.

Hulu’s CEO has thrown down the gauntlet in an in-depth statement that shows his outlook on the future of media delivery via the internet. It also includes some interesting data and metrics that we’ll be discussing.

Since this weekend is the BIG GAME, and none of us have much interest in it, we’ll be using Hulu’s statement as a jumping-off point to discuss some of OUR ideas on the future of Internet media delivery, as well as some really neat what-ifs, and a few glimpses at neat sci-fi tech that could change the way we get our media.

As the eastern and midwest USA get pounded with some of the heaviest snowfall they’ve seen in ages, we’re sitting tight nice and cozy (and even a little sunny – SUCK IT) in the northwest.

Tonight, we’re gonna dig through some of the top news stories regarding this snowpocalypse, as well as share a bunch of user-submitted snow pictures. Be prepared for a lot of white in your face.
