Live on Location http://www.lessernerds.com/2010/01/lol/ http://www.lessernerds.com/2010/01/lol/#comments Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:00:50 +0000 Crashboy http://www.lessernerds.com/?p=1031 It’s here, friends…. shiny Apple day. And the nerds have spared no expense. We’re here on location at the Yserbueniueto Community Center (that’s what it’s called, right?). We’re backstage awaiting the arrival Saint Steven (hallowed be thy name) to tell us exactly what it is that’s made the hype machine blow more than a few gaskets recently.

For the occasion, we talk to tech guru Carmi Levy on what exactly we might hear today, and what exactly Betamax might have to do with it. We also chat with media insider Mathew Ingram on whether or not newspapers will get their magic bullet.

And if that wasn’t enough…. we somehow talked Millennium Falcon bed designer Kayla Kromer to move one state to the left and join us as our man on the street interviewer!

But as we wait, we still have a few items to keep us busy. For example…

She’s baaaaack! The mastermind behind the group of Heathers that made Crashboy’s life a scene from a John Hughes movie  has now asked to be his friend on Facebook. What should he do??? Vote below. Hopefully she knows the four myths of profile pictures.

We tell you how we might be able to guess your password (in 32 guesses), and Art waxes lyrical about film of some dude on a rocket pack.

Carlson & Crashboy yes 57:18 Requiem For A Rolodex http://www.lessernerds.com/2009/12/requiem-for-a-rolodex/ http://www.lessernerds.com/2009/12/requiem-for-a-rolodex/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:04:31 +0000 Art Carlson http://www.lessernerds.com/?p=650 Today’s show finds the nerds asking what the heck is so special about the concept of a Google phone? After all, over the last 100 years, we’ve been promised several technologies that just never happened. Author Paul Milo drops by the Flimm Building to talk to the nerds about why he wanted to be a space trucker, as well as other topics from his new book, Your Flying Car Awaits.

We look at the “Twoddler”, a stunning and promising new technology that will be obsolete by the time you read this. If so, it will join the list of everyday things that have become extinct over the last decade.

Art Carlson confesses his desire to get an ultraviolet tattoo, while Crashboy reciprocates by confessing his crush on the girl who builds Millennium Falcon beds (the show’s not called “Lesser Nerds” for nothing).

We also look at rhinos, cougars and swine flu. Just in time for the holidays!
