Rant5-014:Free or Premium

Leif Andersen — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:03:13 +0000

I rant about the differences between wordpress and wordpress. Talk about how I can’t get my stuff on youtube, and how facebook may be hacked, or maybe it’s just me.

All today, on quite possibly the most dull episode of Rant5 for a long time.

Leif Andersen — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 01:35:05 +0000

On today’s episode of Rant5, I complain about Facebook, and how it’s possibly all spammed up. I talk about privacy concerns, and rap it all up by talking about Google.

012:Not a Studio to be Found

Leif Andersen — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 03:13:06 +0000

Today on Rant 5, we complain about going off the air, and manage to come back on again. We go over ubuntu, and how they’re changing everything, and I complain about the lack of a studio where I record.

If you were wondering…

Sorry we (and by we, I mean I), haven’t gotten any episodes up lately, archive.org, our hosting service, hasn’t allowed for any uploads as of late. The problem is currently being addressed.

011:Nothing to Rant

Leif Andersen — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:26:10 +0000

Gasp, in today’s episode, I come to the horrid realization, that I have nothing to rant about. Fortunently, I am able to pull stuff out of nowhere.

010:Public Transportation Sucks

Leif Andersen — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:35:34 +0000

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.

009:Religion is Real

Leif Andersen — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:43:41 +0000

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.

008:Are Comments Valid?

Leif Andersen — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:01:32 +0000

I talk about David Pogue’s twitter update complaining about comments on blogs, and worse still, that comments on any blog are completely useless, or are they?

007:Books or Vooks

Leif Andersen — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 02:36:25 +0000

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.

006:Stargate on Flash

Leif Andersen — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:27:43 +0000

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.
