This episode, I describe the epic GeekFest that occurred this past weekend, and also discuss a couple of podcasts/videos that I consumed this week that discuss the terms geek and nerd, and how they’ve expanded in scope, and changed in meaning.

(UPDATE: I am currently working on a GeekFest album in Flickr…once it is complete, I’ll have a link in the show notes at kenzoid.com. URL: http://kenzoid.com/2014/09/24/kaz-episode-92/ )

OK, OK…so we had to finally officially give up on the Dog Days of Podcasting! Life intervened this past week, but regardless…the DDoP managed to get me back into the groove of podcasting. Mission accomplished.

In my first post-DDoP episode, I ramble a bit about podcasting meta (scheduling, subject matter, workflow, etc.), complain about the BoingBoing RSS feed, discuss our coming robotic overlords, mention the new availability of the Feynman lectures at Caltech, wax rhapsodic about hummingbirds, and finally nerd out a bit about my DHCP server leases. All in all, a good podcast!

My first post-Apple Live event podcast! Yes…even though I’m not a member of the Apple ecosystem, I’m a nerd, so I keep up. Today I offer my post-event thoughts on the new iPhones and the Apple Watch.

Chatting a bit tonight about writing an Amazon (and Goodreads) review of Peter Watt’s Echopraxia. Also, I’m psyched that I’m doing my first Linux bare metal (v. VM) install in several years. Cross your fingers, folks!!

Tonight, I talk about Echopraxia, the newest novel from one of my absolute favorite artists, Peter Watts. I ramble for a bit about my fanboy attraction to the man and his work, and then ramble some more about the book. I know…my current “review” is little more than a ramblefest, but I’ll endeavor to do better. I really do like this book.

Back on it! I pull a topic off the stack, and talk about our newest edition to the family, Rosie. She’s a pure rescue (ie, found out of the middle of the road out in the middle of nowhere, probably dumped), and she’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen. Photos in the show notes. See ya again tomorrow!
