Hope everyone had an enjoyable post-Saturnalia weekend with lots of gifts, drinks, family tiffs, and only mild regret.  I know I sure did!  In this weeks show we talk about death and rebirth (how timely) of Cyanogenmod, how 7-11 is leaping ahead of other retailers in the delivery market, so-bad-they’re-good 80’s movies, and another potential instance of the Mandela effect aka having a bad memory except for that one time with the tree because that was totally real.  Plenty more to check out in the show notes, hope you enjoy the episode.

Song of the Week:  For Today – Flooded Earth

This week’s show was a bit raunchy, a bit inappropriate, and a lot of fun.  We covered a range of topics from silk worms doing the bidding of evil super villains, how Amazon is planning on further expanding into the shipping business, how to keep your head up on your way to prison, and of course we can’t forget the word of the day: pendulous.  Lots of banter about how (un?)helpful Google assistants are and yet more Star Citizen shenanigans.  Plenty of good stuff in the show notes so check them out, and hope you enjoy the podcast!

Song of the Week:  After the Burial – Deluge

Good to be back after a 3 week hiatus; showing a bit of rust but we’ll get back to our old 3 hour reports soon enough.  This week we teach you how to stalk someone in the most caring way possible, how to steal food from worldwide multi-billion dollar businesses, how micro loans really work in the world of mobile technology and social media, and then we get into the real serious business; how Canada ruined the United States and why is Steven Seagal so crazy?  Check out the show notes for more info!  Hope you enjoy the show.

Song of the Week:  After the Burial – Collapse

With Elon Musk on the precipice of supervillianry we must trust that he wants the best for mankind (aka his subjects.)  This week we talk about the launch of GOES-R (spoiler: it is neither the gatekeeper nor the keymaster;) NOAA adds another satellite to their space fleet that promises some badass pictures of badass weather.  Badass.  Amazon can almost cook for you, but you would probably prefer some microwaved chicken and mushrooms.  Some pretty intelligent security threats and some not so intelligent ones, in the form of Poison tap and lightbulbs, respectively.  Good movies, bad movies, and dick moves.  More in the show notes as always.  Hope you enjoy the podcast!

Song of the week:  Ronald Jenkees – Magnetic Moment

This week we talk about the plight of animals used in science and medical experiments and their inevitable uprising and world domination over us puny humans (read: hoo-mons,) converting raw sewage into a different kind of gas than you might be thinking, password manager options these days as well as other computer security topics,  low quality nostalgia gaming experiences, a quick mention of the 2016 presidential election, and a rant about cannons.  As always, links and more information in the show notes.  Hope you enjoy the episode.

Song(s) of the week:
Affiance – Mad As Hell + Call to the Warrior
Affiance – Kings of Deceit

Can we recommend that you grind metal while drunk in the twilight hours?  Legally, no.  Can we recommend that you NOT do that?  Morally, no; it’s your life!  Soon the day will come where you can buy a voicepack from a person of your choosing and have them read you sweet nothings as you drift off to dreamland.  Maybe I can finally have a conversation with someone worth talking to.  *gasp*  Discussions on Apple potentially losing its hold on the image of what it means to be cool and artistic, Titans vs Titians and what it means for gaming, plenty of FATchat, and the good and the bad of medical knowledge from YouTube.  More in the show notes as always, hope you enjoy the show!

Song of the Week:  Thrice – Stand and Feel Your Worth

This week there is a lot of good news for the environment this week with new developments in suppressing methane production, conversion of CO2 into ethanol fuel, and a trifecta of solar developments from the savior of the human race.  Sloppy (cheap) engineering practices come to light leading to a formidable army of IoT devices capable of taking down several websites for a short period of time.  Our high hopes yet inevitable disappointment regarding the new Star Trek [web-]series coming in 2017 and why Russians are awesome at everything.  Plenty more in the show notes and as always, hope you enjoy the show!

Song of the week:  Memphis May Fire – Letting Go

Worst.Porno.Ever.  One step closer, two steps back.  Advancement in fusion reactor comes as gov’t funding ends.  Samsung Galaxy Note 7’s deemed so dangerous that it is now a federal crime to take them on to airplanes.  Marvel continues to shit on DC, and a couple of time travel movies that don’t suck.  We realize that some of you feel our shows run a bit long.  I get it.  But only in a great country like the USA are you allowed to have such wrong opinions and carry on with your life.  ‘MERICA.  There is actually a lot more in the show notes so please check it out; you won’t be sorry!

Mike: I want to have something blown
HEYYYYO

Evan: Okay, just for that I’m going to make you the star of next week’s intro.  Remember this moment.

Happy Indian Culling…err Columbus Day!

When you play God, creating and destroying civilizations on a whim, you need only ask one simple question, “Would you like my seed?”  For the combat ready among you, James gave us a demonstration this week of what he likes to call “tactical podcasting.”  The CEO of Boeing takes aim at SpaceX claiming they plan to beat Elon Musk to Mars.  We also talk about Comcast extending their hosing umbrella aka data caps, the NSA locks away probably their most productive employee in recent history, possible major developments in the treatment of Alzheimer’s, Star Citizen’s journey to a release date 4 years behind schedule, and certain side effects of drinking your meals.  More links in the show notes, though honestly not a ton; we can do better.  Hope you enjoy the show.

Song of the Week:  Thank You Scientist – Absentee

Did you know that .com stands for .commerce?  As in the U.S. Department of Commerce?  I sure didn’t; until tonight that is!  This week we talk all about what you need to know to be barely familiar with three new interwebs goings on.  A short lecture asking folks to stop demonizing clowns.  Clowns are people too after all.  Really really creepy people.  We also talk about the money grab that’s going around these days by turning movies into TV shows and how they basically suck.  Hacking is once again in the news and gaming is all over the freakin place.  Hope you enjoy the show!
