Geekistry

On episode forty-two we cover life, the universe, and everything. Yes, that pretty much sums it up (an infinite improbability, but we pulled it off!)

While Twitter was down tonight, we put together a show about the death of Google Wave, two silly movie trailers, and Starman's love for astronomy.

After 105 episodes of World of Warcast, 36 episodes of Push My Follow, and 40 episodes of Geekistry, plus dozens of appearances on other shows, Mike talks about his favorite creative geek hobby: Podcasting.

After a few formalities (Facebook, the Lisa Simpson vs. Chelsea Clinton's wedding Twitter trend, and a Warcast update) we talked about early internet information-sharing (Usenet, Gopher, The Well), blogging past and present, and the future of blogging: writing with purpose.

Lots of geek news - Gamers were excited about today's launch of Starcraft 2, but weren't as sure about the announcement by Sony that Everquest II is now FTP. Also, "The Guild" has a new season and music video "Game On". Geekistry's biggest discussion was about the EFF, legalizing "jailbreaking", Apple's response, and what we think.

After a few random formalities about the white iPhone 4 (and the top 10 reasons you don't need it), and other bits we discuss random. Is random really random and what do chaos, infinity, entropy, and lava lamps have to do with it?

Krissi joins us over Skype using 3G while in the car to do this show. We talk about the new Tron Legacy trailer, CGI, computer mice, and problems with my Mac's DNS with my Verizon modem.

Why not have a completely random and unplanned show? That's exactly what episode 35 turned out to be: without show notes we talked about random topics from Tron, video game nostalgia, social media hype, road trips, iPhone apps... and even the meaning of life

In the last show, Mike dared Krissi to wear a pink shirt - and she did! After the reveal we reviewed our weekend of hangin' with friends, playing Cataclysm beta, and the new Geekistry forums, before debating Star Trek: The Original vs. The Next Generation

In celebration of 'Embrace Your Inner Geek Day' we talk about our weekend of Bon Jovi, @GaryVee's Wine Library, and Iron Maiden before discussing the meat of the show - Reality TV Geekistry (with a bit of the Old Spice Guy on Twitter thrown in for flavor).

Famous critic Roger Ebert said, "Video games can never be art," so professional geeks (and video game players) Mike and Krissi have a spirited discussion and ask "Are video games art?"
