No, seriously. Our ‘one week off’ turned into like… three… all because we are in the middle of ‘enhancing’ your experience. Enhancing like a mofo.

This is Episode 100. It’s audio, but there’s a link to the video. It’s big, so, you know, download it to your PC or something.

On the Geek Top Three, we discuss Google’s jump onto the 700MHz bandwagon, the XBOX 360 Fall Dashboard Update, and the band covering The Romantics in Rock Band apparently sounds too much like the original. On Boston in Brief, Dropkick Murphys appear on the latest song pack for Guitar Hero II, Web Design World returns to Boston in 2007, and Aresia comes to the Hyatt regency in Cambridge in January.

It’s episode 99, and it’s posted late. I’ve been busy, so busy. Also, Episode 100 will be delayed until next weekend, so that we have time to finish our re-tooling and bring the usual quality you expect from us.

On the Geek Top Three, domo arigato, Google Android; the Bushies want immunity for dirty telecoms and their violations of federal law; and super-fun times with illegal cell-phone jammers.

On Boston-in-Brief, Live Action Anime 2007 brought to you by MIT on November 29th and December 1st; a bunch of sub-standard bars closing in Massachusetts because of fire hazards; and on Friday November 16th, see a wonderful flute (flaut) player from the Lowell Philharmonic plays.

This week’s episode is hefty, weighing in at almost 1.25 hrs, and we start off with a plethora of swearing that reminded me of a Tarantino movie. We then discuss the Digg Effect affecting… Digg over the AACS-LA numbers fiasco, SCOTUS giving the heave-ho to obviously obvious patents of a patently ridiculous nature, and Entertainment Weekly’s ballsy and baffling selection of 25 great sci-fi movies from the past 25 years.

On Boston in Brief, we mention eBay Live! 2007, and New England Fine Arts and Antiques Fair.

Eh, you’ve heard that one already.  On this week’s podcast, Karl “Cap’n” Kornfeld joins us again.  We express clinginess to get him to stay on permanently… then we tell him we will not be ignored.  Meanwhile, on the Geek Top Three we discuss another giant company (TJX) getting hacked, and much personal data being compromised.  We also discuss the long-term failure rate of vasectomies and how they relate to chimps, as well as some poor dumb girl who was just dying for a Wii.

On Boston in Brief, we discuss Vericon VII and a beerfest that’s TOTALLY EXTREME!!!

I wish it were more epic.  After being in some stage of undeath for nearly two weeks, Colin finally cleared up enough to record.  So we took a week off.  Eh, our loyal subjects will forgive us… hello?  Loyal subjects?

Eh, at any rate, in this week’s episode we are once again joined by our good friend and BostonGeek Maestro Karl Kornfeld.  The three of us discuss the iPhone, three-breasted hookers in a future nuclear wasteland (sooner than we thought), and Holiday console numbers.  We dip our toes in the depth that is Apple and their new brand, and on Boston in Brief we talk (rant) about violent videogame legislation being authored right here in Massachussetts by everyone’s most loathed ass-pony turdsucker, Jack B. Thompson.

On this bizarre entry to the New Year, we discuss AT&T’s promise (fingers crossed?) to maintain net neutrality for two years in exchange for an approval to their merger with Bell South, the baffling idiocy yet exhibited by our nation’s administration concerning the age of the Grand Canyon, and the PS3’s hilarious (to me) lack of sales, despite a console ’shortage’ of 200,000 in the whole of the United States.

On Boston in Brief, we talk about Boston Media Makers Movie Making (yes, Karl can say it 3 times fast) and MIT Mashup Camp 3… which has nothing to do with musical or movie mashups and everything to do with… hacking, programming, and networking.  Huh. 

NOTE:  There is, somewhere, one ‘F-bomb’, dropped by yours truly.  Sorry about that.

The song sticks with you.  You’ll see what I mean when you listen.  On this week’s episode, we discuss Microsoft’s Zune, Martian terraforming, and our final (hopefully) take on the actual launch of the Wii and PS3.  After another installment of Greg Howley’s GameGeek Challenge, we launch into Boston in Brief, where we discuss the Patriots’ new playing surface and the Red Sox $51 million question.

• Pats Turf to Go Artificial.  Will it make a difference?

Oh, were you done? Well, allow me to retort! On this episode, I say the word ’spooktacular’ no less than three times because I am 50% of BostonGeek and I can. On the Geek Top 3, we discuss universal translators and bad kung fu movies, how moderate drinking improves memory, and Sony v. Lik-Sang. Greg Holwey brings us another installment of the Game Geek Challenge, and on Boston in brief we discuss Boston Celtics legend Red Auerbach and remind people to vote.

CORRECTION: The seminars are held by Good Vibration. They opened in the location previously operated by Grand Opening, which is now a web-only presence. The two do collaborate, and Grand Opening used to hold these seminars. Sorry ’bout that. –Carl

CORRECTION PT2: The movie title I so inneffectively groped for was THX1138, not Farenheit 451.  Mea culpa.

Oh, and Carl also adds that Colin’s attempt to create a Donnie & Marie moment by singing I’m a Little Bit Country was just…. sad.

Episiode 11 (26.1 MB , 56:07)

In our Tech Top Three, we revisit the Wikipedia discussions from last episode, we discuss MTV’s iTMS competitor, and talk about Steve Case’s 20/20 hindsight vision. On the Gaming Table, I talk about White-wolf.com’s recent security problems and Carl talks about his impressions of Sega’s Spartan Total Warrior. And, on Boston In Brief, we talk about a fun way to ring in the New Year in Boston: Boston’s First Night celebrations.

But wait… there’s more (I always wanted to say that), BostonGeek is holding its first giveaway. Three tasty morsels are up for grabs. First, the copy of Spartan Total Warrior (for Xbox) that we received from Sega to review will be given away to one lucky listener. In addition, we have a 3-Month Gold Subscription to Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 as well as a silver Xbox 360 faceplate. So, how can you win? Well, easy. In the podcast, Carl plays a soundclip that is in reference to videogame. If you can name the game, you can be entered to win!

Please send all entries to: bostongeek.contest@gmail.com
In the subject line: BostonGeek Giveaway
In the body: Give us the name of the game from the question and also include whether you own an Xbox, and Xbox 360, or both. That way we know which drawing(s) to include you in. Only one entry per email address will be accepted. Each entry with a correct answer will grant you entry into one or more of the drawings (e.g. if you own only an Xbox, you will be entered into the drawing for the Xbox game, if you own an Xbox 360, you will be entered into the drawings for the Xbox 360 accessories, if you own both, you will be entered into all 3 drawings). The way we will choose winners will be to randonly draw winners from the entries with the correct answer. Winners will be notified by email, and shipping will be arranged. If we do not hear a response within 1 week of sending a winner announcement email, we will re-draw a winner for that prize. Phew! I hope I didn’t forget anything. Oh! of course: Contest Deadline is December 31st, 2005. All entries received afterwards will not be eligible.

Episode 1 (26.1MB, 56:09)

In this episode, we discuss (and rant about) quite a few things. We decided to break the show up into three segments. Tech-Bits is the segment where we discuss what things are going on in the world of tech that piqued our interest. The next segment is the Gaming Table, and this is where our geek flags fly. We discuss all aspects of gaming from board games, to card games, to pen and paper RPGs. Our final segment has yet to be named (please help!). It is a segment where we discuss the stuff going on in the world of music, movies, etc. that we are geeking-out over.

Show notes:

• Level 3 severs Cogent peering connection (CNet)
