Ep. 259 – Spacewars 50x Redux!
TOPIC: That’s right, Mike attempts to outtrivia Jay “Geek Trivia” Garmon himself this week with an intro that’s all about the 50th anniversary of the world’s first video game! We spend a little time discussing Steve Jobs – the FBI files, but then of course, Jay has a great mindbender of his own in store:
What long awaited space disaster occurred two years ago, and which countries were involved?
We FINALLY get to some real coolsites of the week again:
- LMGTFY.com – Or “Let Me Google That For You” is a rather rude, but definitely hilarious way to let people know they should stop bugging you with dumb questions and let a computer handle it …
- Evernote Hello – If you’ve got an iPhone and Evernote, this visual contact app is for you! Almost makes Mike wish HE had an iPhone! (almost)
- Snooze for iPhone – Want some motivation to either stop or keep hitting snooze tomorrow? Try this “snooze for charity” app for your iPhone (when is mike gonna get an iPhone?)!
- Ms. Tiina Free Fonts – Because Mike loves fonts … and free. And he really loves fonts. Really.
The podcast only song of the week is “Hit ‘em Up Style” by Carolina Chocolate Drops (again).
