On this episode of Tech Informist, Brad is back as his work schedule goes back to normal and Kevin is not off capturing videos & photos for a local big data conference, StampedeCon.

We talk about our experiences with smartwatches and the phantom feeling many people experience when they are not wearing them after regular use.

Also discussed is the New Horizons explorer which is sending images back after a 9 and a 1/2 year journey, along with Neil Degrasse Tyson talking with Steven Colbert.

We would appreciate your feedback, and in the meantime, enjoy!

As we continue to grow here at the Tech Informist Show, we are taking your feedback into consideration.

Instead of being an "echo chamber" on the internet sharing the same information that numerous other websites do, we are changing things up a bit with the format of our shows.

Mondays will have a focus on much of the prior weeks news in the tech world while giving you more information about what makes us tick when it comes to technology.

Wednesdays will bring back the guest interviews that we have admittedly slacked at scheduling due to various excuses, not reasons, just simply excuses. Enough of those, it is time to bring back the guest interviews you have been wanting.

We've said it for months now, we do value your feedback and want more of it. We want The Tech Informist to be the best show it can be and cannot do it without your input so send us feedback to 
[email protected] or via Twitter.

Thank you!
