Without even realizing it, I’ve done 75 shows! If you’ve ever wondered about the pre-reboot shows, check out the archive. There’s even some vidcasts there (QuickTime format, alas — this was pre-YouTube). They’re mostly collections of cool music, but there’s some other stuff too. Have a look around.
Anyway, on this week’s show we look at a strike at Foxconn, criminal cell phones (and criminal cops), and the dangers of listening to this show while you drive. How meta! Enjoy.
