Jeff and Gabe traverse a colossal mindmap to bring you this show about how to find your way. Apple Maps, Google Maps, Navigon, TomTom... we all have a lot of options when it comes to not getting lost but finding your way among all of the alternatives is less than easy.

An in-depth discussion about the best ways to get around while being spoiled by amazing technology while drinking an incredibly boozy Double Crooked Tree by Dark Horse Brewing.

Gabe and Jeff nerd out on keyboards. They profess their love for loud, clacky keyboards and then turn to the inevitability of typing on glass among other things.

Gabe and Jeff go down the "science tourism" rathole with alternating parts of bunk and debunk. Can we really get a grasp of an incredibly difficult topic by reading a paragraph on it on Buzzfeed? Do we get smarter by reading one of Malcolm Gladwell's books or are we fooling ourselves?

Science is more fashionable than ever these days, especially on the internet, so sounding smart on science has never looked so good. This one might be a rough ride so don't forget to take your vitamins.

Jeff and Gabe record a long-threatened podcast about mindfulness and meditation. Jeff has been meditating for a few years now and goes into some of the reasons why it has helped. Since he rarely talks about such things in public, a beer was a welcome distraction and today's beer comes in the form of White Rascal by Avery Brewing.

What is meditation? What isn't meditation? Is Buddhism a religion? Gabe hurls a lot of tough questions in this one and Jeff tries (and mostly fails) to answer them.

It is an interesting meandering discussion that will surely raise some questions. If you have anything specific to ask, send them along to [email protected] and they'll try to answer them on the show or something.

The Meditation You Can Do Anywhere

Gabe and Jeff go spelunking in the bottomless pit of OS X automation this week. They discuss automation mainstays like Hazel, Keyboard Maestro, TextExpander, among many others. They do this while drinking the superlative Ballast Point Dorado.

A spritzy, summery saison provides the background for a deeply nerdy discussion about iOS automation. Gabe and Jeff dive deep into apps like Drafts, TextExpander, Editorial and the plethora of launchers that all aim at making your mobile computing much easier.

Welcome to a mega-episode featuring two excellent beers and the (apparently) expansive subject of cloud services.

This episode weighs in at two hours long and hopefully delivers some thought-provoking, entertaining and enlightening discussion about the ins-and-outs of "the cloud" (not an actual cloud).

At the very least, you get two idiots talking about beer followed by a lengthy discussion about who they trust to keep their data safe.

This week Jeff and Gabe talk about adult sleep schedules while drinking a great beer from an Ohio brewery. They lament the loss of late night screw-around sessions but talk about their love for early morning sunrises.
