Transcript of Live Chat (you should have been there…)

Show Notes:

Dystractions

What’s new in thought-control tech.

Curriculum via Wiki? Sounds like Curriki. No seriously, that’s what it’s called.

They call me Bieber. 3D fucking Bieber.

Why are people lining up to buy a broken phone, when they could be holding out for a douchebag one?

Full Dysclosure

We interview Christian Viel about his new web series Heroes of the North.

Mike misses (and Currie disses) Google Wave. FYI, Jaiku is still around for the three people using it…

The Yes Men Fix the World, and set the bar higher for comedians everywhere.

Shout-outs

Listen and learn…or just read here how you can get a mention. Leave a comment, mention us in a tweet, etc, etc. Then you get a shout-out. Yes, it’s that simple. All the cool kids are doing it!

Howdy to our Twitter pals, a #FollowFriday will be yours again this week.

Much love to our chat room participants and crazy mad props to Ryan Wiseman for making our live audio stream possible. If you’re looking to do any kind of media on the web you should talk to him. Srsly.

Music

Dan Mangan and his track, “Road Regrets”.

P.S. In case you didn’t know what I was on about with that “hide your kids, hide your wife” business…

But back when I had digital cable there were two other made-in-Canada tech help-type shows that I lost track of. So let’s catch up… Dave Chalk I remember the dude in the red shirt above as always on the verge of having an on-camera aneurysm; turns out he’s a recovering dyslexic (oops), which couldn’t possibly have helped him read those dense paragraphs of product copy on his almost entirely forgettable computer shows. Not that Sir Chalk gives a flying fuck what I think about anything — he’s filthy rich, apparently, having sold software to Research in Motion, among other things. So does he share his mansion with his obvious (to me) lover back in the day, Mike Agerbo (in blue)? No one knows for sure, but he hasn’t been kicked out of the empire yet … Steve Dotto Anybody remember Dotto’s Data Café ? I
