Yep, a bit of a hiatus there — lots of stuff going on, but I’m finally caught up. So this time I reflect on, of all things, religeon. And marketing… And what Descartes had to say about that. Yep, he was way ahead of his time. May make you religeous types grouchy. Sorry about that.

Geezercast 18 — Descartes, the afterlife and marketing
Monday, June 19th, 2006Geezercast 17 — Internet and phone privacy
Sunday, May 14th, 2006I was going to do another one of my “see, I’m in the majority” rants based on the current polls. But I came across one where I’m in the minority — a majority (admittedly skinny — 51 to 49%) of Americans think it’s OK for the administration to rummage through our Internet traffic and phone calling records in the name of fighting terrorism. I was so struck by that number that I decided to devote a Geezercast to the topic.
Plus, there’s a new version of Jamstix out and I dropped a new theme song into the show as a result.
GeezerCast 16 — .EU domain rollout screwups
Sunday, May 7th, 2006Today’s podcast is the geek equivalent of a ghost story. Gather round the campfire and I’ll tell you about the trifecta (yep, 3) of screwups as the .EU top level domain has rolled out. It’s kindof inside baseball, so if you don’t like geek stuff this is probably one to skip.
GeezerCast 13 – Other People’s Money
Monday, March 20th, 2006Well, I’m not gonna talk about Corp.com this time — at least, not directly. But, since I’m starting up a new business, I thought I lay a rant on you about why I don’t like OPM (other people’s money) and have never taken any.
GeezerCast 04 — More music, politics, etc plus audiophile follies
Monday, November 21st, 2005A new tune — the first actual multi-part song using the new electronic music toys. Plus, a recap of the week’s politics and polls. Plus a very brief forey into that strange world of extreme high-end audio. Oh my grandchildren, keep your hands on your wallets.
More Jamstix, elections, aluminum foil mind-control beanies, polls
Monday, November 14th, 2005Ah, what a difference a week can make — the elections went well for folks like me who are in the mainstream (yep, I quote the polls to prove it). This show features another Jamstix creation, reviews some MIT research into aluminum-foil mind-control beanies, heads into a reminiscence about my experiences with the folks who believe contrails are evidence of a government plot and wraps up with this week’s poll results on a few key issues.
