Bad Voltage Season 1 Episode 4: Fat Drone Backups

December 5, 2013 Leave a comment

Stuart Langridge, Jono Bacon and myself (Bryan Lunduke is unable to make it again, although we do of course hope that he recovers from whatever horrific disease he’s contracted) bring you:

  • Open Source Health: are the open source community more unhealthy than most? Perhaps the trend for health-related gadgets will save us
  • Review: Stuart talks about Ender’s Game, the film, the book, and the author
  • Chris Anderson, CEO of 3dRobotics, ex-editor of Wired, and author, talks about his current venture, creating pilotless autonomous “drones” and what they might mean for Amazon Prime Air, agriculture, and society at large
  • How do the team actually back up their stuff? Surprisingly, we all actually do (as should you), but how do we do it?
  • Your feedback: video podcasting, Bitcoin, new phone OSes, and pod love

And now… Bad Voltage.

Bad Voltage Season 1 Episode 3: Hear My Lung

November 21, 2013 Leave a comment

In our third episode, your hosts Jono Bacon, Stuart Langridge, and myself (our compadre Bryan Lunduke is away cavorting around Europe) bring you discussion, argument, and amusement on:

  • We delve into the new Playstation 4 and XBox One consoles and discuss whether this is the next generation of gaming, or a rehash of the same-old-same-old
  • Review: I provide an in-depth review of Google’s new Nexus 5 phone
  • We talk about biohacking and discuss what it is, what people are working on, the implications of the technology, and whether it is a good thing in the first place
  • Interview: in this episode we interview prominent kernel hacker, Greg Kroah-Hartman, about life as a kernel hacker, the pressure of working on such a core piece of technology, and his physical relationship with Linus Torvalds
  • We had a bucketload of letters, so we read out our favorites, and share the very best dirty haikus

Good Listening, Bad Voltage

What do you get when you combine an ardent but realistic Open Source evangelist, a bearded heavy metal community manager, an author/Linux game creator and a raconteur web developer who all have a modicum of podcasting experience? You get Bad Voltage; a new project I’m proud to be a part of. From the Bad Voltage site: Every two weeks Bad Voltage delivers an amusing take on technology, Open Source, politics, music, and anything else we think is interesting, as well as interviews and reviews. The show is presented by Jono Bacon, Jeremy Garcia, Stuart Langridge, and Bryan Lunduke. We’ve just released the first show and are keen to get any feedback you may have. We’ve been working behind the scenes on this for a little while now and I think this has the potential to be a genuinely great show. Do note that Bad Voltage is in no way related to LinuxQuestions.org, and unlike LQ it will be decidedly NSFW. That said, head over to the Bad Voltage website, take a listen and let us know what you think.
