But in looking for something to live for, we come across the charms of Texas native Kayla Kromer, who drops by the Lesser Nerds studio to discuss exactly what compelled her to build a hamburger bed, a Millennium Falcon bed, and why she may be the only person in North America with a passion for Jar Jar Binks (but Crashboy is too shy to ask her what SHE thinks of the man who does Star Wars body paint – NSFW).

Crashboy tells us why kids today expected more technological advancements by now, while Art tells us why the senior circuit is quite fine with tech today, thank you very much.  Too bad they probably won’t be around to experience the advent of light emitting walls.

And we speculate on exactly what kind of coffin would be suitable for the late great Curtis Allina, inventor of the modern Pez dispenser (and yes, you’ll be able to see the punchline coming down Broadway).

The answer was stunningly simple… a clip show!

After all, when people as disparate as Cyprian of IJustMadeLove.com or Tony Dyson, the creator of R2 D2 have dropped by the studio, it’s only right to share them at the end of the year.  2009 also found us talking to twitter sensation Roof Coffee Cup guy, (who almost got arrested for talking to us)  and Professor Jeff Eely who filled us in on the death of pinball.

As if that wasn’t enough, Paul Milo, author of “Your Flying Car Awaits” stopped in to tell us about being a space trucker.

What more could a person ask for this festive holiday season?!

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!
