So yeah, we were’nt very enthused for this week’s show. But FEAR NOT - we still strive to bring you the very best in geeky goodness from across the web. We have gossip on Sony’s new media player, the MPAA being a bunch of thieving bastards, useful applications, do-it-yourself projects, tax tips (ugh), geeks gone by, absolutely HUGE databases, and oh yeah - freakin’ BOOBIES, yo. Hell, if nothing else: come for the boobies, stay for the witty repartee. Peace.
Valentines Day is nearly upon us, and Justin joins us for more geeky fun. Guys, if you’re looking to never have sex again, Men’s Health has some great tips for putting you on the fast track to sleeping on the couch. We also discuss Steve Jobs’ letter regarding abolishing DRM, fashion tips for nerds, recyclable flatware, and all the latest tech tips and resources from around the Web.
Chock full of tasty goodness, we bring you our post-Super Bowl round up. We also introduce a new guest, the erstwhile Christbear. Highlights include the tech that makes the Super Bowl possible and our review of this year’s ads. We have tips on getting your keys out of a locked car, scamming coinstar machines, getting your MP3 library up to snuff, and how to save heaps of cash on a Vista install. We also discuss some resources for web developers, sexy coffee shops, and why my ass is magnificent.
I have to say, I’m really impressed with Ubuntu. Check out the first twenty minutes of today’s show to hear my experiences with the install and my initial thoughts on using the OS. I’ll be writing up a simple walkthrough with some tips and tricks so those of you out there who are on the fence about Linux might give it a whirl - stay tuned! We also discuss why the Chinese are weird and depressing, how rock and roll will totally make you gay, caffeinated baked goods, solid state hard drives, freeware utilities, how to hide yourself from the RIAA/MPAA, getting shafted out of going to space, and all our favorite gadget news.
I'm sorry, it's true. Fellow geeks, stop hanging shit from your belt. Your phone is not so cool that it needs a display case. You do not need immediate access to 13 different tools in less than 10 seconds. Besides, it's not like we leave the house. Put it in a drawer. With the looming release of Windows Vista, we're going to take some time over the next few shows to talk about some alternative operating systems, and the benefits of each. Ever wondered if Linux might be right for you? Tonight, we discuss Ubuntu Linux and who exactly it is good for. We also chat about some more sexy new phones and computers so fast, you could use them to make s'mores. We've got several do-it-yourself projects, sure to engage any home improvement geek, some hilarious new youtube videos, Guitar Hero 2 for the 360, breakthroughs in Physics, hot chicks, and iPod vibrators.
Ryan’s coworker Dallas joins us this week - we spend some time exploring why we wish we could write scripts to run our lives, why Google and Microsoft have their heads up their asses, and doctors who freak out and hack up their patients wing wangs. We also discuss Microsoft flavored phone sex, Crapware, how to save money on your taxes and maybe even get out of those pesky cell phone contracts. Finally, we have some more debate over the virtues and foibles of the new iPhone.
Check out our coverage of all the new, shiny hotness to come out of the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this past week. We hash around the new iPhone, the LG dual-format high-def video player, and all kinds of new tech.

We bring you advice on how man feel about sex toys, how to get smarter in 4 weeks, news and accessory details on the 360, PS3, and Wii, sexy new gear for your A/V and PC systems, pictures of what 200 calories actually looks like, muslim cabbies refusing riders, some thoughts on the environment, coed dorm roommates, and how to beat the claw prize game, every time.
Happy holidays! Matt joins us in this episode for our pre-Christmas extravaganza. We now have 10 hours of show in the bag, and I feel like the show is really coming together. We have some advice for entrepreneurs and world travelers, as well as some updates on Pandora - our favorite internet radio application. We also discuss what Bill Gates thinks about DRM, why women look great in cocktail dresses, stupid gadget scarves, LED water temperature indicators, online tv, pre-marital sex habits across the past 50 years, sexual harassment in kindergarten, babies in x-ray machines, library speed dating, and scoring cheap airfare tickets.
Who needs practical advice on fat kittens? Useful websites? Men trapped by their own waste? How about some prison shanks? Ancient beer? Getting screwed by the tech industry? We have all kinds of useful and interesting ephemera for you in this episode.

I won’t hold my breath.
