TRJE 062: Privacy Schmivacy [ 37:26 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week Regis Jack rants about IMAX Star Trek, Roz Savage, Dragon Con, Social Networks, HD TV and other stuff.

Alrighty then, another week and another podcast, netcast, or whatever the hell they are calling it this week.  I give a shout out to Roz Savage who has completed the 2nd leg of her row across the Pacific, a bit of Dragon Con information along with a bit of PAX mixed in.

I didn’t watch any new movies this week, but I did see the most recent Star Trek at the local IMAX theatre – huge screen and 12,000 watts of sounds!  The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is now in High Def, which is absolutely awesome, but I’ve noticed that many of the other HD shows on TV are not really HD.  Some are stretched, some have been panoramic’d (is that a word?), and others have just been zoomed in – which is bad because there is a widescreen version of some of these shows that could be shown. I also talk a bit about Top Gear (the best car show on TV).

Since TV and movies were in short supply I spent some time on privacy on the social networks, which turns out does NOT exist (big surprise) and how to eat M&M’s.

In this episode there is a clip from No Agenda, with Adam Curry and John C Dvorak – I’ve always wanted to talk about these drug commercials on TV and their long list of side effects, but they do such a good job, I thought I’d give them praise by including it here.

And as always, we thank our sponsor RegisJack.com – BUY SOMETHING!!! PLEASE!!!
