    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 ...

  • Ep. 298 - PBS American Experience's "Silicon Valley" Filmmaker...

    TOPIC:  Fabulous show this week, as we get a sneak peek and in-depth discussion about the upcoming documentary "Silicon Valley."  Randall MacLowry gives us his take on the genesis of not only the technologies and hardware we depend on every day, but also the innovations to culture and business that men like Robert Noyce (founder of Intel) heralded.  The show comes out February 5th on your local PBS station, so set yo...

  • 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...

    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"). This wouldn't really be TechTalk without our good friend Jay Garmon as he asks us this toughy: What classic board game was used by the Allies to help rescue POW's during WWII? We wind up with just enough t...

  • Ep. 235 - Matt Richtel's Idle Hands!

    TOPIC:  Pulitzer prize winning journalist and author Matt Richtel comes on-air to discuss his newest book and the fate of our brains, on tech!  Plus, Jay Garmon gives us another zinger with this geek trivia question: How many mommies and daddies did Dolly, the famous cloned sheep have?

  • Ep. 172 - Total Recall sans Arnie

    TOPIC:  Jim Gemmell scares the h-e-double hockey sticks out of Dave and our station manager when he talks about how the e-memory revolution, lifelogging, and cloud-based information storage is going to change your life!  He and Gordon Bell, both of Microsoft, have written a not-so-little book called "Total Recall," and we really get into the nitty-gritty of what the coming decade could mean to you - and how you can g...

    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. 223 - Nextworth's Robert Wesley!

    TOPIC:  Dave's back and just in time for us to have a great show!  Not only does Mike get in a nice rant on how not worth living life is without a smart phone, but Robert Wesley of NextWorth.com joins us for a fantastic discussion of what you should do with all that old - or gently used - tech ... including finding out if any of it is really worth anything at all! Of course we're able to find time for Jay Garmon w...

  • Ep. 291 - Do Facts Have a Half-Life? Sam Arbesman Says "Yes!"

    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...

Proximiti Solutions Steve Rosen and Jeremy Hillman [ 1:03:48 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (141)

TOPIC:  Mike talks healthcare and mobility and more with Steve Rosen and Jeremy Hillman of Proximiti Communications!  This doesn’t happen of course until after we get a rant in about why not to get a satellite radio, how Mike supports the Pats and a sad update regarding Micron’s CEO Steve Appleton’s tragic Plane crash.

Jay “Encyclopedia Garmonica” saves us from ourselves with not only the answer to last week’s question, but a great (and tough) new one:

Of the people that stand to make the most from facebook IPO, 3 people besides founders stand to make millions.  Who are they?

We have such a great conversation there’s no time left over for coolsites, except these:

  • Proximiti Consulting – Steve and Jeremy’s home!  If you’re looking for more detail on what we discussed on-air, or ways that you can more effectively integrate mobility solutions and mobile device management into your organization, Proxmiti is a great place to start – You can contact Steve Rosen at 847-512-7896 or via email steve.rosen@prxomiti.com.
  • NFL.com – One of the only legal sites to watch the big game this weekend :)

The podcast only song of the week is “Hit ‘em Up Style” by Carolina Chocolate Drops.

Real Geeks Ride [ 57:19 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (103)

TOPIC:  A surprise party of guests this week, as we talk to the pair behind ‘Real Geeks Ride‘ – a cross-country biking adventure to raise awareness of the fact that geeks do ride, and that riding a bike to work is possible for everyone!  We also get Jay “Geek Trivia” Garmon back and he wows us with a specially crafted space-oriented trivia question that will really make you think!

The coolsites of the week just keep getting better, and this week we’ve got:

  • Bubbl.us – Like the ever-popular Mindmeister, this mindmapping software will let you get it all out of your head and someplace usable; Bubbl.us makes it about as easy as can be with cute bubbles and – of course – free mapping!
  • MonkeyOn – Put a monkey on somebody else’s back for a change!  Schedule reminders and tasks for other people and keep bugging them until they get ‘er done!

The podcast only song of the week is “The Future is Where We Belong” by the Hotpipes.
