82: I Can Haz Ubercorn?

82: I Can Haz Ubercorn?

Brian hammers home some more bad news about the sharing economy and Uber. Many people are in search of the elusive Ubercorn. Why is hash-tagging done so poorly. Anonymity online is a fools errand. More books, podcasts, and even an app!

81: Congratulations... Now Get Off My Internet!

Fur flies in this action packed episode where two people, without actual fur, go fisticuffs over the future of social networks. Astute business advice from a chronically broke dude. The 'Horribleification' of the Internet. And the music biz is still dead.

Good books and music biz epitaphs.

Stay the hell out of our thought experiments! You're stuck with Twitter's shenanigans for a few years. Jason dumps his technolust. Brian got his Uber reach-around finally. The 1099 economy hits new lows. We review some crappy young adult novels.

Best value at a bar. Ask A Geek: why we don't build apps, why we work on the web, and what's up with our personal projects. How to handle getting hacked. Pizza and domestic violence. They love crowdfunding money, not so keen on providing those rewards.
