After a quick break, we're back examining another oft-argued aspect of the human condition: dominion over the Earth. Do we as the most powerful species on the planet have a right to rule over this planet? Is survival of the fittest the way it should be, or is there a greater morality at play than that which we govern mostly ourselves by? A tricky topic, and another in which there seems to be no truly right answer. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

It's our big end of the year spectacular! Well, actually it's coming out after the New Year and it's not much different from our normal shows, but it's the thought that counts. We start off with one of the big topics right now, the neverending Israeli-Palestinian conflict now currently flaring up in Gaza. As usual, our solution to the problem is both innovative and decisive. After that, we take a much lighter look at Chicago's own Mr. Blago and some Canadian political fun, and then we tackle the pervasive culture of impermanence that seems to increase each year. Finally, we talk about the Zunepocalypse that occurred on New Year's Eve (since explained) and why the console wars are all about character. Hope 2009 treats you all right!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

We jump off the mark this week with a lament on the common science fiction trap of authors overstaying their welcome in their own universes. From there we move into the realm of twins consuming themselves in the womb, and the occasional leftovers that stick around when they don't finish their meals. After a quick commentary on killer neck massagers, we all offer our reactions to Apple's decision to stop coming to MacWorld after 2009, and also to the lack of Steve Jobs at that final keynote. Conversational evolution moves us into the discussion on Apple's larger future and the role of microtransactions for the tech industry in general. After we try to talk Lando into using either Pandora or Last.fm, we discuss the possible need within the space program for a transition from the government to the private sector. You may be surprised at who ends up arguing for more government. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

Back into the body this week as we continue our journey throughout the biologic wonder that our brains control. We start out with the funt stuff, sex and reproduction. After that, we move into the realm of the senses, from the effect of the a good meal on your hearing to the impact of gender on smell.Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week we're joined by Cooter once again as we drift through a lovely blend of stories, from a purported cure for AIDS to a breakthrough in time travel. Of course, it's never all serious with us so you'll get a dash of monster discussion and a rather necessary needed addition to the Ice Pirates DVD. Beware the space herpe and enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

Episode 3 of the thirty here for ya. This episode: a comparison review of the Rock Band and Guitar Hero game series, and then the iPhone and Blackberry Storm.Theme Music: "Nature Of The Experiment" by Tokyo Police Club

This week we're taking a lighter (yet truly bizarre) look at the endlessly fascinating campus that is the human body. In this first half of our two part bio-spectacular, we're starting out with the brain. From the water content of our gray skull sacks to the amount of voltage needed to power it, we dig around the ridges of our most vital of organs. From there we move into digestion, hair, nails, and some other strange places. Enjoy!Opening Music: "Alive WIP v2" by George CarpenterClosing Music: "Blau.ton" by Rauschwerk

This week is a total geekfest, as we welcome a new guest to the show. Our friend Cooter is a great consumer of comics, movies and television so naturally his first time on the show is a volcanic mixture of Alan Moore, Star Trek, Batman and a wide array of other subjects. We're hoping you enjoy our new commentator (pardon the audio on his end, we're working on that) and we really want honest feedback on how you think he melds with the show. Depending on what we hear back from you, we may add him as a regular going forward so speak up and be honest.

This week we're starting off with a bit of discussion on the outcome of the election and the sudden death of author Michael Crichton. From there we talk about digital photography and in a larger sense the differing schools of photography. Eventually we get into the idea of 'future proof' technology, then we talk about some of the recent news coming out about Windows 7. Finally, back to politics and the nature of bigotry.
