Ozone Nightmare

This week we've got Cooter back on the panel, and we start off with the disgrace that most people like to call Spiderman 3. We talk about the movie version of the character in general before we turn to another disappointing sequel, Left 4 Dead 2. Is this a sequel, or a cash grab by Vavle? That leads us into online gaming, which evolves into a discussion on the recent 'internet czar' to be appointed by our President and what impact that may have on the net in general. Then, a discussion on the gray area of illustrated child porn, specifically from a recent case involving a man being branded a pedophile for owning manga. Next, we talk about Project Natal and the potential for both success and failure of this amazing technology initiative. Talking about Microsoft leads us into Windows 7, which is shaping up to possibly erase the stain of Vista. Finally, we talk about Linda Carter (yes, Wonder Woman) and stem cell contacts.

Though unintended, this show has a subtle undertone of examples where the intended actions of our subjects act against their own best interests. We start off with a lengthy discussion of the new Terminator film, which has done a great job of further sinking the franchise. We move into the fun world of jury duty for a bit, then skate into the current Republican war on itself. We finish with the fun of indefinite incarceration, that nutty Kim Jong Il and a little bit o' Blackwater.

A little business up front about this show. I was in Las Vegas for Interop when we recorded this at about midnight, and the recording was being done on a laptop running a freshly installed Win 7 RC candidate. Right as I went to save the show, Audacity wrecked. I was able to salvage the files, although it took manually reconstructing 828 sound files. As a result, I let my normally anal editing go a bit, so bear with us this week.This week we start out talking comics, from Sam Kieth to Ben Templesmith. After that, it's on to the possible collapse of GPS and a farewell to the Hubble. Later we get into the difficulty in finding a movie that takes you by surprise. From there it's a British Invasion with a little Doctor Who, some Ashes To Ashes and finally James Bond. We head into outer space after that to discuss the new Star Trek, and why Khan was a true ladies man.Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week we're over the flu and back to normal, as we open tearing apart the new Wolverine movie before contemplating our dream team of John Carpenter and Riddick. After that, we discuss the Kindle DX and whether it will do anything to stem the bleeding of the big league newspaper industry. We then meander into some new legislation outlawing 'hostile speech' content from the web, which leads to a larger discussion on violence among very young children. It's pretty much all downhill from there. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week, it's the magical mystery tour that is the H1N1 swine flu. And yes, I know I say it wrong in the show, but it's the fear doing it to me! We're all gonna die! But if we do, will it be our own fault? Are we creating the ideal petri dish for our own mass demise? We take the few facts and a whole lot of conjecture and talk about the current health crisis. After that, we take a little time to lament the death of good death. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week, standard 2 piece band is on stage again. Lando and myself start off talking about the recent death of J.G. Ballard and the guilty verdict in the Pirate Bay case. After that, I take a moment (or 10) to give my take on the recent U.S. CIA torture memo flap, which leads into a discussion on the unwieldy weight of our nation in recent times. From there we talk about the Kryptos sculpture, the need to solve puzzles and the intersections of art and science. Finally, we talk about a recent article predicting the death of universities. Are our centers of learning a doomed species? Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

Wow. This week Lando and Cooter filled in for me, and the topics are quite exceptional. From road rage to toilet humor, this one's got it all. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

I don't know about you, but I never expected Lando and myself to do a show about cars. And yet, here it is! Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week we're doing something a little different, as Cooter and I do the show sans Lando. We cover quite a bit of ground, starting with Ron Paul getting mighty uncomfortable with Sasha Cohen and whether ignorance is ever understandable. From there we move into some more scientific realms, starting with Cooter's ideas on clean fuel before moving into the potentially huge Wolfram Alpha project. After that, we talk another innovation that has some fantastic promise: Glasshouse. All this talk about the future and amazing technology on the horizon naturally leads to some musing on the stunning things we have with us right now. Flying cars, the commonality of touch screens, toy brain scanners...the future is now baby! Enjoy! Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk
