http://jeremyreimer.com/monarch/main?t=Podcast en-us ℗ & © 2011 Jeremy Reimer and Terry Palfrey A podcast about Acceleration and Convergence Jeremy Reimer and Terry Palfrey This is a technology news podcast that is NOT just another technology news podcast! We talk about the big picture, the future, where humanity is going, and why it's getting there at an accelerating rate. Knotty Geeks is a technology news podcast that is not just another technology news podcast. Instead of just talking about the latest gadget or piece of software, we look at the broader view: where is all this technology taking us? Acceleration and Convergence are our two main themes. http://jeremyreimer.com/monarch/podcast/podcast-test.xml ℗ & © 2011 Jeremy Reimer and Terry PalfreyTechnology,acceleration,convergence,history,futureTechnology/Tech Newsjeremy_reimer@hotmail.comTechnology,acceleration,convergence,history,future Jeremy Reimer and Terry Palfrey This time on Knotty Geeks, we review the three methods of management, deal with our lizard brains, and come up with a way to fix reality. That’s next, on Knotty Geeks.

Oh, and we also touch on how our entire society is changing right before our eyes, from the collapse of the venerable British University System to the fall of traditional publishers. It’s all part of the theme of Acceleration, marked out by Data Points! All this, plus the rise of Starcraft!

Will it be a bleak, dark, apocalyptic future where everyone is unemployed, or will it be a happy future where everyone is unemployed? One thing is for sure: the computers are coming to take our JERBS and there’s no stopping them. Best to be prepared. The Anybody Story: This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

We start off talking about our latest and greatest iGadgets, briefly discuss our trip to Sacramento for Amiwest 2010, review the amazing new book What Technology Wants, and then get into my big news: the release of my brand-new, written-from-scratch forum/blogging system called Monarch, written in newLISP! The new system includes a podcast module, on which Knotty Geeks has found its new home.

We talk a little bit about creating art in 2D and 3D, the current state of smartphones, and then get into the history and future of programming, a subject we know virtually nothing about.

The weather has finally allowed us to venture outside to brave the scary world outside Wick’s Coffee. In this episode, we talk about the Gervais Principle, work/life balance, Timothy Ferris and the four-hour work week, Penny Arcade dissing the iPad, and somehow end up discussing... LISP? Is that the language with all the stupid parentheses? Notes from the show: Knotty geeks episode 10 notes The Gervais Principle http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2009/10/07/the-gervais-principle-or-the-office-according-to-the-office/ They actually produce, but are not compensated in proportion to the value they create (since their compensation is set by sociopaths operating under conditions of serious moral hazard). They mortgage their lives away, and hope to die before their money runs out. The good news is that losers have two ways out, which we’ll get to later: turning sociopath or turning into bare-minimum performers. The losers destined for cluelessness do not have a choice. Timothy Ferris and the 4-hour work week http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/ Life doesn’t have to be so damn hard. It really doesn’t. Most people, my past self included, have spent too much time convincing themselves that life has to be hard, a resignation to 9-to-5 drudgery in exchange for (sometimes) relaxing weekends and the occasional keep-it-short-or-get-fired vacation. The truth, at least the truth I live and will share in this book, is quite different. The Fourth Way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Way Gurdjieff taught people how to increase and focus their attention and energy in various ways, and to minimize daydreaming and absentmindedness. Tycho destroys (and then buys) the iPad http://www.penny-arcade.com/2010/1/29/ That iPad presentation had to be the worst thing I’ve even seen on on the Apple stage. There is a part where they - I am not making a joke - there is a part where they try to make creating spreadsheets seem awesome. Jilted may be the word. Of course, we’re at the second wave of commentary now, the reflexive defense phase, but I’ve seen this practiced arc too many times to feel its pull. Apple didn’t make a case for the device. Paul Graham on LISP http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html So if Lisp makes you a better programmer, like he says, why wouldn’t you want to use it? If a painter were offered a brush that would make him a better painter, it seems to me that he would want to use it in all his paintings, wouldn’t he? I’m not trying to make fun of Eric Raymond here. On the whole, his advice is good. What he says about Lisp is pretty much the conventional wisdom. But there is a contradiction in the conventional wisdom: Lisp will make you a better programmer, and yet you won’t use it. object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" width="290" height="24" param name="movie" value="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" / param name="wmode" value="transparent" / param name="menu" value="false" / param name="quality" value="high" / param name="FlashVars" value="soundFile=./uploads/Knotty_Geeks_episode_10.mp3" / embed src="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" flashvars="soundFile=./uploads/Knotty_Geeks_episode_10.mp3" width="290" height="24" / /object http://www.jeremyreimer.com/monarch/uploads/Knotty_Geeks_episode_10.mp3 Sat, 11 Dec 2010 10:58:52 PST 7:04 Knotty Geeks,technology,acceleration,convergence jeremy_reimer@hotmail.comnoA podcast about Acceleration and Convergence<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jeremyreimer/knottygeeks/~4/uJHIP-rukjM" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jeremyreimer/knottygeeks/~3/uJHIP-rukjM/Knotty_Geeks_episode_10.mp3http://www.jeremyreimer.com/monarch/uploads/Knotty_Geeks_episode_10.mp3 Jeremy Reimer and Terry Palfrey We’re back from BarCamp 2009 and we’ve got a lot of stuff to talk about!

David Pogue on TWIT and conflict of interest: does it matter? Health care in the future Corporations as people? Terraforming the Earth Note: This episode runs a little long, but I felt it was worthwhile to keep most of it. Links from the show: http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/only-comic-can-inquire-into-such.html - Stephen Colbert and Jeffrey Toobin talk about the original ruling that made corporations "people" -- Quote: Colbert explained that the 1886 case (Santa Clara v. Southern Pacific Railroad) that conferred 14th Amendment equal protection rights onto corporations wasn’t even in the original ruling. But when the Chief Justice made an off-hand comment that the Court wouldn’t hear an argument on whether the 14th Amendment applied to these corporations (saying, "We are all of the opinion that it does"), the court reporter wrote it into the ruling opinion, and the precedent has held ever since. And that reporter of the Supreme Court didn’t only have ties to the railroad barons, he used to run one. object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" width="290" height="24" param name="movie" value="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" / param name="wmode" value="transparent" / param name="menu" value="false" / param name="quality" value="high" / param name="FlashVars" value="soundFile=./uploads/Knotty_Geeks_Episode_8.mp3" / embed src="./includes/players/1pixelout.swf" flashvars="soundFile=./uploads/Knotty_Geeks_Episode_8.mp3" width="290" height="24" / /object http://www.jeremyreimer.com/monarch/uploads/Knotty_Geeks_Episode_8.mp3 Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:16:58 PST 7:04 Knotty Geeks,technology,acceleration,convergence jeremy_reimer@hotmail.comnoA podcast about Acceleration and Convergence<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/jeremyreimer/knottygeeks/~4/jMZSV4XFNK4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/jeremyreimer/knottygeeks/~3/jMZSV4XFNK4/Knotty_Geeks_Episode_8.mp3http://www.jeremyreimer.com/monarch/uploads/Knotty_Geeks_Episode_8.mp3 Jeremy Reimer and Terry Palfrey We’re back! After a long absence, we’ve figured out what we were missing from our podcasts. Car noises--lots and lots of car noises. In this first ever experimental Knotty Geeks episode, we tear off the Skype headsets and exit our homes, braving the fierce DayStar and horrific drivers to reach our destination--Wick’s Cafe, home of free WiFi and decent hot chocolate. Listen if you dare as we talk about some science fiction stories we are working on, and interact with various strange people we found outside.

It’s true. We try and explain ourselves a little bit. It’s not the fault of the technology news reporters (at least, not really). It’s all because of the acceleration of technology itself.

We compare it to the iPhone and contrast the different strategies and philosophies behind these platform’s respective application stores. Hey, how about an Amiga phone? We get into how two science fiction authors described the near future and how smart phones might enable this future--in Japan, of course, a new company is making this happen already!

In this episode we start out with a shoutout to all our listeners of the last podcast! Individually! By name! We then move on to discussing this week’s tech news: Microsoft’s ads are awful, AmigaOS 4.1 is released, six-core Intel CPUs are out. Then we sidetrack into computing history and devolve into general silliness. Devolve?
