Live from the Formosa, Session Four

by Steven Garrity

This afternoon Peter Rukavina, Dan James, and I recorded a new session of Live at the Formosa, live at the, uh, Formosa.

Live at the Formosa is an occasional radio show (I’m still ashamed of the word “podcast”, but I’ll get over it) we record at the Formosa Tea House, a regular lunch haunt of ours. We talk about technology, the universe, and everything.

This is our longest session to date (about an hour-and-a-half). So far I’ve never been sure that I would actually listen to any of these shows if I weren’t in them. However, people seem to have enjoyed them, and I think there is some compelling discussion in this episode.

Peter has the show notes and download available on his site: Live From the Formosa Tea House, Session Four.

I have some cool friends.

 

Live 8 in my Living Room

by Steven Garrity

Every once and a while I get an insight into just how extraordinary much of the technology we take for granted actually is.

This Saturday morning in my living room in a small city in the northeastern tip of North America, I was walking around with my little laptop. The speakers on the laptop were playing the live audio of Bono and 200,000 people singing Unchained Melody in Hyde Park in London.
