Back from a baby-caused hiatus, Gabe and Jeff talk about what it is like to work on the iPad. Getting stuff done on the iPad has never been easier but that still doesn't mean it's easy all the time. They discuss the apps that make it worth doing and how iOS11 has changed their relationship with the device. It's a BYOB week so they are both drinking the good stuff.

Gabe and Jeff talk about their old, broken bodies and how they plan on ushering in the future. Further talking about Apple Watches, how we might communicate with our technology down the road and how it might end up communicating with us.

They do this while drinking an beer by Bear Republic from Sonoma County in California. While they are both excellent beers, they drank different ones because planning is hard.

Jeff and Gabe return after a short haitus and talk about what the future holds. They discuss how they view technology, computers, devices and tech-news in the last few months and how the current climate of a quickly moving news cycle and often-repeated tech headlines have lead to boredom and malaise where tech is concerned.

They also sip a lovely Puff by SixPoint in the staggering heat.

After a bit of a break, Gabe and Jeff return drinking an Ella by Free Will Brewing in Perkasie PA and talk for a while about what they like to do when they're not working. Hobbies and other fun things to think about are the talk of the day while they sip a fine, boozy beer from the wilds of Pennsylvania.

While listeners might often think Gabe is an elaborate beer-tasting robot, this surprisingly isn't the case. That said, both he and Jeff are striving for better and more efficient ways to do things. When Gabe started reading a book called "Algorithms to Live By" he knew it might be a good way to combine two of his favorite things -- drinking beer and talking about nerd stuff so he told Jeff to give the book a read and here we are.

Have you ever wanted to drink stale beer and talk about how Silicon Valley is letting us down? Gabe and Jeff did. The duo talk about how our social networks affect our privacy and what could be done to save us from ourselves. They discuss this grim topic while sipping an old Valentine's Day beer -- and IPA with chocolate and coffee added....

Gabe and Jeff have their beliefs challenged this week. Not by the excellent and amazing Double Citrus (sent by super cool listener Nate), but by the "You Are Not So Smart" podcast discussing the Backfire Effect. They drink an excellent brew and discuss why it is so hard to change your mind.

Gabe and Jeff sip a fantastic Green by Tree House Brewing sent from a lovely listener with exceptionally good taste and above average intelligence. While being carried away on the scent of hops, they discuss note-taking -- how they do it, why they do it and how they organize their notes so they can find things easily.

Critic Markup

Gabe and Jeff talked for a disturbingly long time about data logging in this episode. They go deep and wide covering how they quantify themselves, their files, their photos and their beer. It is easy to see why they would want to draw this one out -- they are drinking a high ABV Old Fashioned by Wicked Weed Brewing.

Jeff and Gabe are having a Nate-stravaganza. Today they are drinking Funk Citrus, sent to them by their friend Nate while talking about iOS apps they like. Apps are something they both talk to Nate about with great frequency so this episode really works from top-to-bottom and everybody's pretty excited about it, probably. I mean, nobody actually asked about being excited but it is safe to assume in this case.
