This week we were joined by the finest of geek fellows, Iyaz Akhtar from CNET! We joined him on his quest for inner peace and probably disturbed him a bit...or a lot.
We discussed Iyaz's new website, job, and quest, Jaz is easily impressed by JavaScript tricks, Flappy Bird and Steve Austin make Iyaz use too much profanity, Dale is not a Brit, Robocop on your phone, Sonic all the things, Chuck bingeing, surprising Budlong, making mix tapes, a nifty new soundboard app, folkin' around with Robin Hood, the Olympics chest cold, and LOST's acceptable ending (spoiler alert). Plus! The consolidation of evil and why the US ISP situation is so terrible.
Join us on Geek I/O, won't you? It's like a soap opera with big sweaty men.
