Technology can be a great thing, especially with artificial intelligence comes up with its own words of inspiration. The future is now, and also funny…
Another Podcast You Won’t Listen To
Jaw-dropping deception. This podcast is especially recommended to the medically inclined among us.
Money. Romance. Tragedy. Deception. The story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong. How did the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire lose it all in the blink of an eye? How did the woman once heralded as “the next Steve Jobs” find herself facing criminal charges — to which she pleaded not guilty — and up to 20 years in jail? How did her technology, meant to revolutionize healthcare, potentially put millions of patients at risk? And how did so many smart people get it so wrong along the way? ABC News chief business, technology and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis, along with producers Taylor Dunn and Victoria Thompson, take listeners on a journey that includes a three-year-long investigation. You’ll hear exclusive interviews with former employees, investors, and patients, and for the first-time, the never-before-aired deposition testimony of Elizabeth Holmes, and those at the center of this story. New episodes post Wednesdays.
Check it out here. By the way, the title is a double entendre I just got.
Fountains Of Wayne Hotline
Musician humor at its finest.
All Of My Shoes
I remember Makerbot having to pull off the side of the road we were laughing so hard at this.
Holy Shit!
A new Long Ryders record! A new Long Ryders record!
And for reference, an old Long Ryders cover of a NRBQ song that should’ve been a hit for both bands.
LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS
Yes, please!
New and completely bonkers sci-fi series from Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac, Mindhunter). On Netflix March 15, you magnificent bastards. 18 animated stories, allegedly in a kind of Heavy Metal format.
Welcome To The Basement
Anybody ever heard of it? These guys are goofy fun (and bad teeth) personified. This episode features one of my all-time favorite cult classics: Phantom of the Paradise. Make that my all-time favorite cult classic. I have to watch it at least once a year, much to my wife’s disgust. And don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. Pure GOLD.
“Welcome To The Basement” is a show about watching, discussing and having fun with movies. Matt choses the movie and Craig doesn’t know what it is until the cameras start rolling, so none of the discussion or riffing is planned ahead of time.
A cinematic odyssey through the rock universe?
It’s Time To Cook… Again
There’s a 2 hour Breaking Bad movie in the works. It’s allegedly a sequel to the series that made my happy parts feel warm and fuzzy for 5 seasons. And it’s gonna be on Netflix.
My initial thought is that this will be a good thing, but I’m not really sure where else the story can go. I tried Better Call Saul, but I just couldn’t get into it. Vince Gilligan is running the show on this movie, so maybe I should just put my faith in him and let things happen.
Where do you think they would go with this story? Maybe Jesse goes back to school and becomes a high school chemistry teacher…
They Still Make Data-Bank Watches!
I almost want to be single again, just so I can ask a woman for her phone number and watch her expression as I enter it into my data-bank/calculator watch.
