This week, Lando and I are talking about the meltdown of the American financial system, or more specifically what it says about our culture. Is this crisis within the U.S. economy simply the latest symptom of a culture that has coddled failure? Are we burying our heads in bailouts and compromises rather than addressing the true roots of our problems? Also: Sound parenting advice!

The first episode of something new here: just me for half an hour talking about a couple items of interest. This week: a review of the recent Santa Rosa Dennis Miller performance and AC/DC's Back In Black.

This week, we're covering a few big topics and a few small ones. We start off with an artist that Lando wanted to spotlight, Ashley Wood, and from there we move into some comics discussion before one of our big slices: Google's Android mobile OS. After discussing our predictions and feelings on this open source mobile, we move into the current U.S. economic crisis and from there just a bit of politics in general. Enjoy!

This week we continue our discussion of Spore a bit, with some revised opinions and the reasons for our fresh outlook on the game. From there we get more eclectic as we bounce from store secret menus to the British Big Brother program getting an extension, then we move into a little RFID, WarGames and why Canada needs to pep things up. Enjoy!

This week we're taking a 'soft topic' approach. We're talking for a bit about perspective as far as the actual physicality of our world is concerned. After that, we're moving into more mixed ideas as we discuss the Large Hadron Collider, quantum physics, the recent stumblings of Apple, and finally Spore. Not many shows can tie the desire to commit murder in the Sims to a classical work like Oedipus Rex, but we strive for greatness here folks. Enjoy!

This week we're back on the high seas, cruising around the waters and discussing various things we find interesting. We start off with the evolution of art before moving into movies, then we jump into self-help and robotics and ending with a lovely dialogue on The Divine Comedy. Enjoy!

As requested, here is one of the videos we talked about on the show:

After much delay, show 100 is here. Not quite as glitzy as we'd hoped, maybe, but still a little different than usual. In a sense it's just like our other shows but in another the opposite. You'll see. Enjoy and thanks for being here for the big 100!

This week we're out on the waves with no destination, just bobbing along in the tide as we meander on alterantive learning techniques, failed rocket launches and even the future of keyboards. Between our ineptitude at typing and our tendency to wander way off any topic, it's a wonder we get this show out at all. This will be our last show for a few weeks as we gear up for episode 100, which we're hoping will be something special. Keep an eye on the site for details on what we're working on. Enjoy!

This week Lando and myself are talking about the declining desire for intelligence in society, albeit in a roundabout way. We talk about some recent examples of leadership not caring about being obsolete, as well as a seemingly pervasive dismissal of wisdom. Not all is gloom and doom though, as we lead off with some examples of the evolution of learning and how, if sought, pathways of study and intellect are becoming more and more accessible.
