Lord of the Rings as life advice with Pastor Tim Fox

Jul 20 2024 102 mins  
A conversation with my wonderful former pastor, Tim Fox. He's leaving me, so I wanted to scrape together some life advice from him before he went. But really he just wants to talk about Lord of the Rings 24/7. John 6 John 8 John 10 Romans 1 "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis "Orthodoxy" by G.K. Chesterton Psalm 37 "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy by

Our excellent dystopia with Matt Odell

Really glad to have Matt Odell as a return guest. Instead of an interview we used this as an opportunity to talk about our wonderful dystopia full of 30 hour battery life, folded proteins, and zero privacy. Enjoy!

Local-first and freeform software with James Long

Oct 07 2020 87 mins  
In classic podcasting style, I managed to frontload this episode with highly technical questions up front and then we slowly morphed the conversation into a more conceptual what-is-the-future-of-computers sort of thing. James is a really wonderful guy from what I've learned over the decade or so I've been following him on Twitter and you should def check out Actual if you&#

Is tech actually good tho

Aug 29 2020 55 mins  
This is a tough one because I'm fairly undecided. Are we sliding toward an apocalypse? Is too much getting worse to expect anything to get better? Is YouTube actually kind of a great thing? I've been stuck on this long enough that I figured I should just put it out there and let you decide. A lot of different thoughts here but I swear it's all connected. Thanks to ZappyCode for buy

GPT-3

No offense to @jayriverlong, but I think his think piece on GPT-3 is kind of dumb: "In a GPT-3 World, Anonymity Prevents Free Speech" So I did a whole podcast about it. Also check out this book: How Innovation Works

Better won't be easy

Today's episode is a work-in-progress essay about the role of UX and "ease of use" in tech, with a specific focus on Bitcoin. Here are some links to what I'm talking about in the episode. The full essay will be published on my blog someday. Thank you for your patience. Bitcoin Node Q+A Bitcoin Governance Strike app Bitcoin bites the bullet Utreexo "Don’t make me think" thread

A computer from scratch with Jonathan Pallant

Jun 24 2020 80 mins  
So I screwed up and didn't select my nice podcasting microphone for this episode and am instead speaking to you through that joke of a pinhole mic on my MacBook Pro. The good news is that we're not here to listen to me, we're here to hear from the fascinating Jonathan Pallant: Town Mayor, retro computing enthusiast, and embedded systems engineer.

Something that's been refreshing about doing this new podcast is how little of my time is spent thinking about what "big" companies are doing. But these big companies keep doing stuff. So let's talk about it! Skate 4 Skate 4 has been announced! Vergecast segment about Skate 4 in 2019 (at around the one hour mark) Will Skate be the "Quake 3: Arena" of ska
