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!

Hello there kiddies, and welcome to this centenary edition of View From The Quad!
Back when I started this podcast, I never thought that I would ever make it this far. Looks like we made it then!
Of course, back then I wasn’t dipping into the pockets of GoToMeeting.com, who are kindly sponsoring this episode! For your 1 month free trial, go to www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts.
This is a rather full episode of VFTQ, and we talk about quite a bit, actually. (Take that people who say I talk of nothing! TAKE THAT!)
Other things on the list of topics include

1. The Rules of the internet (look below in the Links section for a link to the post on the website where you can see them)
2. The mars landing
3. Hugenormous solid state drives
4. Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse TV show, and a rather depressing outlook which the fans seem to have..

After all that, I play “Into My View” by Chris McKay and The Critical Darling, and you can find out more about them at http://tinyurl.com/6k9pee.
