Special Report - Who's Your GoDaddy!? Round 2
I have some important follow-up to my last post about the GoDaddy issue. Back on Friday, July 17, I posted to the blog here the lack of responsiveness that we got regarding what seemed to be pretty clearly a configuration issue on GoDaddy's mail servers. I'm including my written email to their support below, as well as the eventual written response that I got from their Office of the President as well. Late ...

TOPIC: We have a great interview today with the author of the book "The Half-Life of Facts," Sam Arbesman! It's a fascinating and deep book, and Sam does a wonderful job of explaining how all of the "facts" we know are constantly being overturned ... and that this is occurring at a mathematically definable rate. If that scares you, don't worry, we also spend a lot of time talking about Popeye, astronomy, and who e...

Ep. 300 - Alex Knapp of Forbes and Asteroid Contingency Planning
TOPIC: Wow! Episode 300 ... and what a great one it is too! Oddly enough, our tricentennial goes unremarked, either through excessive humility or rampant obliviousness (long time listeners of the show will be placing their bets on obliviousness), but with Dave "Sparky" Saganaki, good friend Jay Garmon and new friend of the show Alex Knapp of Forbes magazine tech and blog fame, this is an outstanding reflection on t...

Ep. 172 - Total Recall sans Arnie

Ep. 194 - Tom Standage and The Economist's Technology Quarterly
TOPIC: The title of this one pretty much says it all, but doesn't give you a hint at what an awesome guest Tom was! We don't have nearly the time needed to get into all the cool stories from the Economist's special Technology Quarterly insert (though we give it that old college try), but Tom's promised to come back next quarter and fill us in again! Jay Garmon does his usual great job at keeping us on our g...

Ep. 217 - Facebook for Old Folks!
TOPIC: Dave and Mike have a GREAT time with return victim ... errm, guest that is, Mike Miller! He talks to us about his new book Facebook for Grownups (or as I like to call it - "Facebook for Old Folks").
