Okay, anyone who is a hockey fan has to go watch this video right now.  It is classic.  And informative, as you finally get to learn what the term “hoser” really means.

No, not in that sense. Well, okay, in that sense too. What I mean is, I have a cold. So things got delayed. Sorry ’bout that.
This titillating* week on the Geek Top 3, we titillatingly* discuss Vonage on the ropes, sheep more human than a human (little Rob Zombie nod [...]

No, not Tina (although, she is pretty damn cute), but that black box on the table next to her.  Tina Wood gets the lowdown on the Xbox 360 Elite and shares it via a video inerview with Albert Penello.

I couldn’t figure out how to emote hate. Should it be !<3, or maybe <>3… dunno.

Looks like Microsoft has wisened up, listened to the masses, and lifted the NDA on the Shadowrun Beta.  I definitely have some motivation to play it some more and share my thoughts.

This week, Colin and Carl discuss the diaphanous (or not) rumors of a Google Phone, water ice on Mars, and Penny Arcade getting its own gaming franchise. On Boston in Brief, Colin inexplicably catches a case of the mildly drunken giggles while we discuss [...]

Lecturefox appears to be a site devoted to gathering all the free lectures from various prominent universities (MIT, Caltech, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon, just to name a few).
This site is pretty cool, considering it saves one the trouble of looking for all these things themselves. There is a blog, but the home page is [...]

So, looks like the Shadowrun Beta has expanded its size, recently sending out redemption codes to thousands of gamers.
I gots myself a code and have downloaded the Beta.  I will give it a whirl soon enough, although they are pretty strict about what you can and cannot say about the Beta.
When [...]

Happy Pi Day!

There have been several conversations amongst my friends where this question has been asked, usually in jest as a Zen riddle. It crops up when we play D&D, and it’s meant to illustrate the silliness of the system based on a previous campaign. As such it is almost always brought up when something [...]

We start off by sharing more man-love for the Yeti.
Then Carl and Colin continue to hold down the fort sans their maestro while talking about Verizon pwning Vonage, EU seeing the light on efficient lights, and Playstation Home. On Boston in Brief, they discuss BarCamp Boston 2 (neither camping nor bars are involved), and [...]

I have that old ‘My Buddy and Me’ TV jingle in my head.
A while back… I don’t know.. two, maybe three years ago, Dell sold a server tagged the SC420. It was the successor to the 400SC. The only reason these two tags are important is because the machines rapidly became darlings among [...]

Anyone who has listened tot he podcast knows that I’m less… patient when it comes to certain things than Colin is. And that lack of patience is what initiated this accidental journey into laptop-only existence. Lack of patience also ended it. Actually, you could say my addiction ended it. But, that’s [...]
