Grumpy Old Geeks - Covering tech news, security, movies, tv shows, and books for tech savvy adults

In a very rare in-person episode the guys hang out at Brian's Santa Monica pad and go over the weeks fun Internet news. Topics discussed Amazon going all you can eat. Space-X doing cool stuff. Great books of the week and the best new website on the Internet. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/91

Ravaged by the elements and in-laws the guys rally to get back on the horse and discuss grammar atrocities, the Lizard Squad foibles, WSJ making silly moves, car radios under attack in Sweden, why middle-men are a bad idea, and other silliness. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/90

In their final show of the year, Brian and Jason wrap up with their own version of the holiday listicle and thank you's to the listeners. Jason's noise gate is still broken so holiday apologies.

In the last full show of the year the guys take on Sony and their cowardice. Oprah is going full Amanda Palmer. Rappers are morons. And the best gift you can get this year is a box of bullshit. Happy holidays everyone and thank you for listening! Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/89

Jason dives into the sharing economy with bizarre results. Brian has never had sex on acid. Sony is still hosed. The Newsroom gets weird. Jason can't find a cuddle buddy. Brian finds the best website on the Internet. Ever! Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/88

The true purpose of Twitter has been discovered and it's unsurprisingly about poo. San Francisco moves to Silicon Beach. Bring on man-poo beach. Security is off the hook. A bunch of new podcasts to check out. And Jason finally gives up on the FitBit. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/87

Still full from Thanksgiving the guys cover topics such as the new Star Wars trailer, deleting becoming obsolete, the death of ethics in journalism, the lack of transparency in Spotfy, Kickstarter pivoting to a storefront and more. Pass the leftovers... Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/86

In the strangest episode to date, Jason buries the tin-foil hat & Brian takes up the mantle of Grumpy Prime. Uber Incompetence is on the rise. WTF was Mattel thinking? Podcasting renaissance is balderdash. No sparks actually fly over Amanda f'in Palmer. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/85

Tara "Tiger" Brown joins us to talk about her new project and super fun stuff. No, she is NOT the no talent ass clown of which this episode is named. You get one guess who that is. But humanity did land on a comet! And Brian still reads vampire novels. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/84

This is a very long episode where we cover a metric-ton of epic stuff. That said I'm extremely late for an appointment so just listen to it ok? Thanks! Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/83

Brian hammers home some more bad news about the sharing economy and Uber. Many people are in search of the elusive Ubercorn. Why is hash-tagging done so poorly. Anonymity online is a fools errand. More books, podcasts, and even an app! Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/82

Fur flies in this action packed episode where two people, without actual fur, go fisticuffs over the future of social networks. Astute business advice from a chronically broke dude. The 'Horribleification' of the Internet. And the music biz is still dead. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/81

Yosemite upgrade hell. Pros and cons of too much tech. Unplugging for fun, profit, and sanity. Breech fatigue is now a thing plus hacks of the week. Ed Snowden's drinking habits and new film career. Good books and music biz epitaphs. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/80

In their best episode yet, we discuss the NFL and not paying their taxes, flying cars, drone racing, San Francisco doing something right, Bugzilla, Silk Road, the open source security farce, big social data, Twin Peaks, and even more goodies! Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/79

This week the guys go full Luddite and discuss the erosion of humanity from too much technology and the vapid obsessions of an always on society. Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/78
