This week’s episode was slightly abbreviated. It was Colin’s birthday, you see, and it was past his bedtime. As he flexed his creaking joints and marveled at his venerable age, we discussed Apple’s Leopard OS leaping to an October release, Google gobbling DoubleClick, and Bethesda buying the Fallout IP. We have another rousing edition of Greg’s GameGeek Challenge. And on Boston in Brief, we discuss the Boston Cyberarts Festival.
Any comments or suggestions?

PCU was a great flick. Kind of an updated, though granted not nearly as good, Animal House.
And it had George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic in it.
Happy Birthday Colin!
I feel like there was more beer in this podcast.
NICE!!
I once expressed the opinion that the only people who continue to use the prefix “cyber”, after about 1999, are the media and law enforcement. It seems I left out art councils/committees. Unless you’re a byborg, cybernetic or having cybersex, drop it… for the love of bob.
Anywho, that’s none of you guys’ concern. But this is.
Happy birthday Colin!
The problem with ‘cyber’ as a prefix is that the media and hollywood made it a household name.
I mean, it does sorta belong to Gibson. He coined ‘cyberspace’. Donaldson called it the ‘metaverse’. And Dick never called it anything, but there were several variants of it in his novels.
I’d say cyberspace is a valid, albeit confusing, name for the ‘net. I like ‘metaverse’, personally. Even though I thought Snow Crash was a piece of unfulfilling, shoddy, hastily wrapped-up piece of crap.
But yeah… what the hell is ‘cyberart’?
