Last week, for one day only, Google opened up its Explorer Program to the general public, letting anyone who wanted throw down fifteen-hundred bucks and get Google Glass. Being a time-traveller from the future interested in taking part in some of the significant events of the early twenty-first century, I dropped some cash, and am […]
Last week I talked about Google Glass and how excited I am that this sort of futuristic technology is finally arriving. I understand the fallacy of the slippery slope, but please follow along while I do a little brainstorming on what possible effects the infant field of Augmented Reality will have on our future.
Last week Google Glass started preparing for what could be referred to as an alpha – the Google Glass Explorer program. In case you don’t know, Google Glass is a headpiece you put on that projects what is essentially a monitor view screen onto . . . something. Looking at them, I honestly have […]
Strap in and hold onto your hats and glasses because this podcast is a wild ride of rambling randomness. It turns out that Jon and Nick are still playing Diablo 3. Walk like a Horadrim! Our inability to articulate a specific topic strikes again and we fill this podcast with awkward segues. Speaking of Jon’s […]
“I had forgotten what a small and noisy people they are…I would bring them dragons, and they shout out for grapes.” “Grapes are real. A man can gorge himself on grapes. Their juice is sweet, and they make wine. What do dragons make?” “Woe.” So spoke Euron and Victarion Greyjoy in A Feast for Crows. […]
I’m probably a poster child for the effectiveness of the anti-drug campaigns of my youth. I never once took any illegal substance and could probably count the times I had any alcohol through my teens on one hand. And while I’m an avid beer drinker now (in my thirties), I’d still never really delved into […]
Last week, a couple things happened: my Xbox One returned from being repaired and the first DLC for Destiny was released. It was hard to figure out which I was most excited about, so right after we recorded episode 68 of the podcast, I had my controller in hand and the console running. As usual, I […]
Shake the dust off that laserdisc, pour a glass of beer in your Howard the Duck commemorative mug, and watch the body count stack up. The year was 1989 and Marvel didn’t have any idea what they were doing in regards to comic-book movies. Given that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become the second-most successful franchise in history, […]
I geek out on a lot of things, and my most recent fascination has been with Social Media. I’m lucky enough to be part of a group that creates content, and so I have something (somewhat) meaningful to share with the world that is more than pictures of my cat, though ask me about my cats […]
I was going to start this out with some sort of pirate lingo, but that just seemed stupid when I read it back afterward. Pirates, as it turns out, make for a fairly compelling story about people wanting freedom in that very Assassin way while remaining largely unsympathetic. Let’s face it, they’re not exactly nice […]
I’m not really into the tap-action game scene on mobile devices. I’ve just never been too keen on piloting a floating object through a gauntlet of obstacles, or infinitely running over rooftops, or even shooting birds out of a slingshot. That’s just not my jam; my mobile needs are best served by games both puzzley […]
