iPods are Not so Bad

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

As regular listeners of the show would know I have agonized over the fact that I really don’t like iPods, BUT I failed to find an alternative that is a comparable product. There just is not anything out there that matches the iPod at all. So I have purchased my first iPod.
Now some of you [...]

Heat Mapping Based on Science

Wednesday, December 27th, 2006

I was doing a bit of recreational RSS reading today. It has been nice being able to relax and just enjoy catching up on feeds for the sake of it. Usually I am looking for resources for the show! But I have found something that I thought was worth sharing. The Feng GUI ViewFinder HeapMap.
I [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #032 :: The Invasion of the Elves!

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

This is the last installment of The Global Geek Podcast for the year! Don’t worry we will be back next year after a one week break to help us recharge and refresh. Plus spend some time with our families.
This however, is the invasion of the Elves Edition and Christmas Show, from Knightwise and Dave Merry [...]

You Think This is Strange…

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Do you feel like this some days? I am sure that some people do and no doubt the artist that created this sculpture.

This is part of a great collection of photos from around the world of strange and stranger statues and creations. I loved it. If you are offended by phalic symbols and female genitals [...]

Java Art : Time Waster

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

I was surfing around today and found this cool site, an interesting demonstration of what you can do with Java and a time waster.
Called Grappa - Delayed Trace, the page loads and you think that it is nothing. But there is a black strip running across the page. Run your mouse through it and it [...]

Beware of Wii Boxing Women

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

In the last podcast Knightwise talked about his boxing. The follow-up to that is that he has posted the video on YouTube!
I tell you what she has a very mean right hook. It is a Wii bit of fun and we would like to share it with our listeners.
Do you have a video that you [...]

Knightwise and the Digg Poll

Wednesday, December 20th, 2006

For those that don’t know what happened, have a listen to The Global Geek Podcast Number 28. But basically Knightwise was firing on all cylinders and we had a great show. For some reason he made a big call on the future of Digg. This is the test of his theory put into action.
Knightwise basically [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #031 :: It’s the “Holy Grail” of Online Video Edition

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Welcome to this edition of The Global Geek Podcast. We thought we had sorted out our FTP issues from last week, Knightwise is about to cause grievous bodily harm… we think it has something to do with his ISP blocking unsecure FTP. Hence the day late show, apologies!
Great show this week and we cover some [...]

Matez, Very Blokey

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

The title says it all, Matez. While not aimed at blokes, it certainly appeals to them more than females. I say this is a bit blokey because the top “Featured Video” is a guy ripping dresses of chicks and touching their breasts “by accident”. Create a profile and share videos, photos. But I can not [...]
