Nerds On Draft

Gabe and Jeff discuss the new version of You Need a Budget (YNAB) which released recently to mixed reviews. Going from a solid, stable, standalone app with Dropbox integration (the holy grail for nerds like these guys), it has pivoted to a web app with all of the pitfalls of that methodology.

They discuss Jeff's experiences with the app and cry into their suds while bemoaning how one of their favorite pieces of software has changed in all of the wrong ways.

In this episode, Gabe and Jeff discuss the features and benefits of the new Apple TV. The device has emerged as a very capable video streaming device combined with an interesting new controller that is far more capable than they expected it to be.

Siri, Plex and a decent number of launch apps add to the fact that the Apple TV seems to finally be living up to its promise of providing a way to watch varied content on demand.

Viewing is best enjoyed with beer so the hosts do some taste-testing with Dogfish Head 60 Minute and 90 Minute IPAs.

Gabe and Jeff kick around the idea of how the domination of a market can change how we perceive it as well as what products we get stuck when when certain products "win" over others.

Conversations range from the battle for our televisions to how free apps mean the best app may not always win.

It ends up being a strangely wide-ranging topic enjoyed with a Raspberry Tart by New Glarus Brewing. (Thanks, Michael!)

Gabe and Jeff discuss the pervasiveness of negativity on the internet. How do you remain positive in a world where there are Youtube comments and a constant barrage of 140 character tirades on Twitter? Good question to explore while drinking BYOB style. Jeff brought his own Daisy Cutter by Half Acre Beer Company and Gabe poured a Quintaceratops by Brooklyn Brewing.

Gabe and Jeff go into the dirty details of what it is like to develop and release an app on the Apple App Store. They discuss all of the months of design, development and choices that went into their app, TapCellar.

They broaden the discussion to how the App Store changed since its inception and some of the challenges facing developers as time goes on. The conversation is tempered by the fact that they are drinking an excellent beer -- X-9 by Duclaw Brewing Company of Maryland.

Gabe and Jeff delve into the expensive world of digital SLR cameras and engage in a semi-factual discussion about how they use them and where their iPhone comes in to take over the job.

Since there is a chill in the air on the East Coast of the United States, they crack open an Imperial Pumking by Southern Tier Brewing Company. Fighting through a deep disdain for most spiced Fall seasonals, they were both pleasantly surprised by how balanced and tasty Southern Tier's offering was.

How do you feel about "supplemental materials"? It sounds pretty vague at the outset but Gabe and Jeff go into detail about the things that describe the things they care about.

At work, home and play, they gather information in text and photography to prop up their waning memory and provide a way to go back to things that are important enough to track but not important enough to remember right away.

They take this sideways trip down memory lane while drinking one of Gabe's less-than-favorite beer styles -- the sour. Petrus was the target and it provided a memorable taste as a backdrop for a podcast about memory.
