Hey there kids! In this episode, I have a broken throat, so it isin’t normal. First, I sound a bit weird, and second, although it works out quite long for VFTQ these days, I don’t do all that much talking. More ranting then normal though.

We talk about why Vista might not suck quite as much as everybody says it does, and I play a voicemail from a douchbag. And interrupt him every few minutes.

For some reason, this episode has a few little audio glitches. I have no idea why. I tried rerecording… but… they just reappeared.

Today we talk all about electric cars which may replace the clown car which is really really small, Ireland saying “Screw you” to the EU (It rhymes!) and the most horrible knife in the world. Ever. Trust me. This thing is vicious, and not in a good way.

This week, since I have no school, there is a silly large amount of topic with which to speak. First, we have the suspense as WWDC sneaks up on us and I talk about a few things that I would like to see in the Apple conference.
Next, Top Ten Thoughts makes an unwelcome comeback with some listener suggestions and then I go on a bit of a rant about a certain reality TV show which started on Thursday.
Did you know that some poorly educated idiots are complaining about the Large Hadron Collider?  Apparently the world is going to end. With a Big Bang.
Next on the list: Are a certain species of Sharks hunting humans? The Sun reports that….
Thanks for listening to the show!

Are you attending Podcamp Ireland?

“PodCamp Ireland is the very first stand-alone event to promote the use and provide guidance and tips on the subject of social media in Ireland.

Podcamp Ireland is an unconference. In other words it relies on the active engagement and collaboration of participants to make it happen. Everything about an unconference comes from the participants. That includes the topics which will be discussed, the time and place, and even the decision as to whether to hold such an event at all.”

I will be there. It is on Saturday 27th of September, in Kilkenny city. Go to www.podcampireland.com/register to register for the free un-conference. Should be great fun!

Welcome to this episode of View From The Quad. Download it at www.ViewFromTheQuad.com

Today we cover a fire which has broken out at the Univeral Studios backlot, wrecking the King Kong attraction and the video archives. The friggin VIDEO ARCHIVES!

We also talk about how you can insure yourself again’st robot attack, and some sequals to terrible films that you haven’t heard about yet, and we can only hope get dissrupted by the fire at the studios.

Cian
