Maximum Geek Episode 10

Maximum Geek Episode 10 is up. Josh and I cover upcoming comics and SF movies in development and talk about whether they look promising. We also question the beginning of the end: when will Marvel's "Midas touch" go sour? With "Fantastic Four"?

Episode 9 the IPTV episode

MaxGeek009.mp3 In this episode, we actually stay more or less on topic for 32 minutes! W00t! We talk about IPTV, the upcoming digital cable meets TiVo on demand that will revolutionize TV itself. If it's allowed.

Episode 8 is up

Maximum Geek Episode 8 is up on the feed. In this episode:

• O'Reilly's new Mind Hacks, fun tips and tricks for your brain


• The New York Times on why corporate America can't write


• MobiHand, a new website for mobile tech software


• Some interesting and distubing poll results on religion in our schools. Warning: Josh goes off on a rant here, but we do pull out of it and move on to other topics.


• Why the DLC is stupid for trying to disavow Michael Moore. What the Dems need is more passion, not to become "Republicans Lite"


• Shame on you, Bill Frist!


• Pulling out of politics, we talk about upcoming SF and comics movies. Josh thinks there's a neat trend in SF movies returning to the roots of the genre.

Enjoy!

• How we podcast on Windows. Check out TeamSpeak.org for our chat software.
• The Republican shenanigans of Tom DeLay. Why do the rules only apply when they hurt Democrats?
