That’s right, UTOSC is upon us, a rather exciting event, I hope, that is assuming that I manage to get there in the first place, as the public transportation is a horrible system.  I also review overdrive audiobooks, and how they fail.

That’s right, I decide to put my foot in my mouth, and take on the topic of religion.  Or rather, the scientific reasoning why someone may believe in a religion.  A more sciency episode if I do say so myself.

In this, our longest and most overtime episode, I complain about the future, or supposed future of books, or should I say vooks?  I also ask for money, and say thanks, but still doubt anyone will do anything about it.  Thank you for continueing to listen though.

This week we broadcast to you live (pre-recorded anyway), on location. I complain about the quality of flash on linux, and wish the people at Adobe would fix it. Then I move on to a rant about Stargate Universe, and how SyFy continue to kill Stargate.
