ht Silverman was out sick. On air conversations ranged from in depth discussion of pirates and ninjas to geek marriage counselling with a late caller.
The on air discussions were varied and interesting. From salvaging computers out of the trash to Twitter and beyond.
Discussion is all over the place tonight. File encryption, spam, spyware, safely surfing pr0n and the history of the Starbucks logo as well as loving or hating their coffee.
Banter by the hosts ranges from Battlestar Galactica season premier to Star Trek Voyager. Later in the show someone calls in using an AT&T Western Electric dial phone which results in much humor.
Phones worked fine, but there was no display of the callers on hold in the control room so phliKtid was calling them out in his own unique and humorous way. Dwight brought one of the Alasus EEE PC’s to look at. Lots of hardware calls this week. Failing power supplies and spontaneous system reboots. All in all, a fun show and worth a listen. Groovehouse was snapping pics like crazy which should be online a bit later.

A new Macbook Air for phliKtid prompts a discussion about whether or not applying stickers or other ornamentation to a laptop is acceptable or an act of self inflicted vandalism.
First post fund-raiser show. Always a joy not to be begging for dollars. Particularly fun program tonight.
Topics of discussion:
1. Dwight gets pooped in the eye by a grackle
2. Mac vs. PC
3. Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers
Final fundraiser episode. We cruised to the goal pretty easily and by show’s end we had exceeded it by over $500. Yay Tech Bytes!
