Beer.
Some consider it just a drink. Others consider it an evil substance that makes men vile and causes the downfall of the family unit.
These people…are morons.

Eventful is a service that is currently in beta that helps people come together and decide what types of events they would like to see in their area. The basic idea is that someone creates an event that they care about, others demand it, it reaches “critical mass”, the performer is notified, and the [...]

Is your house dull and boring? Are you looking for something to spruce it up? Do you love mystery movies, and have way, way too much money?
Then why not install a secret door in your home? The folks at Creative Home Engineering (warning: flash with sound) would love to help you. [...]

Can you smell it? On the Tech Top Three, we take a look at Britannica’s response to Wikipedia comparisons, Vonage and house-fires, and of course, Vista’s delay. On the Gaming Table, we get excited at the thought of even more old-school gaming on the Nintendo Revolution, and look forward to see Videogames Live. On Boston [...]

I feel terribly sorry for you, employee of John Hancock. You aren’t able to read this fine content any longer. Why should the employees of John Hancock be denied a little BostonGeek every now and again? Isn’t it one of those inalienable rights that our fore-fathers spoke about when drafting the Constitution [...]

A panel will be held at Northeastern University on March 23rd, to discuss copyright, artisistic freedom, open source, and many other things that should be of keen interest to most everyone.  The discussion will begin at 11:30am and run until 2:30pm.  It will be held in the Dodge Building (which is the building on the [...]

Cheesy title, I know, but it really is. I found LibraryThing by way of the City Record and Boston News-letter, a great blog maintained by a local historian.
It’s got the usual web 2.0 basics…you tag your books, and get ye olde tag cloud when you’re done. You can see who else has that [...]

As Colin mentioned in the podcast, BU recently beat BC in the Hockey East tournament final, claiming their first HE title since 1997. BC fans looking for vengeance will only have to wait until this weekend, when the NCAA men’s hockey regionals take place. The northeast regional is being played at the DCU [...]

Looks like I flubbed up the podcast feed. The feed is repaired, but you may have to redownload the latest episode if your podcast client downloaded the latest episode already. Basically, I linked the last podcast MP3 (Episode 22) in the current podcast episode. D’oh! Like I said, it is fixed [...]

This episode is super, thanks for asking. On the Tech Top Three, Carl and Colin discuss Verisign’s deal with ICANN, what Google doesn’t have to show the government, and Windows XP running on Macs. On the Gaming Table, it’s official: the PS3 will be delayed. And, on Boston In Brief, a local internet venture wants [...]

This episode starts off a little discombobulated as Colin tries to cope without internet access.  On the Tech Top 3 we discuss iTunes television show subscriptions, no EFI support in the 32-bit versions of Windows Vista, and Microsoft’s Origami.  On the Gaming Table we mention the upcoming free XBOX Live Gold Weekend, review Ghost Recon: [...]

It might be coincidence, but around the same time that a Cableguy was at my apartment building (presumably) installing cable for the folks who just bought the condo below mine my high-speed ‘net access died. In fact, I am connected right now, writing this entry, via bluetooth DUN thanks to my Treo 650… and [...]

Some of you may own an Xbox 360, but still have yet to commit to the Live experience by subscribing to Xbox Live Gold.  I suppose I can forgive you.  However, much like a crack dealer hands out the occasional free rock, Microsoft is holding a Free Xbox Live Gold Weekend at the end of [...]

You may notice that some ads (as well as a tip jar) have appeared on the Podcast page. Is it because we are selling our souls? Well, I guess that would depend on your point-of-view and whether or not you believe in a soul. I mean, how does one define a soul? [...]

Ok, since they took the time to email about their show, I thought the least I could do was pass the information on to you. Apparently, there is a design show on HGTV that will be filming in Boston this Spring and they are looking for homes to feature on the show. Cut-and-paste [...]

Lots to discuss on this episode. We start things off discussing some of Apple’s recent product announcements, then we move on to updates in the NTP v. RIM litigation, and the Tech Top Three is rounded off with a look at a ‘Net neutrality bill being proposed. On the Gaming Table, Penny Arcade gets their [...]

There is a new MMORPG called Auto Assault, and the beta is currently out. You have to sign up for the chance to be one of the lucky beta players, but the odds are fairly high that you will be given a beta code. Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be given a [...]
