Geekiest Show Ever 238 – Mike’s Dark Nightmare

gse238
This week it is Elisa with Mike and Kevin while Melissa is still trying to get back to us.

We start with discussing all the items Elisa and Mike bought in and around Black Friday sales that abounded this past weekend. Kevin had great deal of restraint but, did cave on one item.

Next up is our discussion around the rumored death of The Apple Airport Extreme and which way one might got if it happens. Discussing mesh networks and other alternatives. It is recommended that listeners go have a listen MGG 633 Deep Dive How to Choose a Router in 2016

We wrap-up with our picks. Starting with Mike’s super cool woodworking all in one tool The Shop Smith. Kevin is still drooling over Logic Pro X to do his show editing. Elisa has no real pick since she hadn’t planned on making this week’s show but, she does want to learn more about audio recording and editing.

gse237
This week it is Elisa with Mike and Kevin while Melissa is still trying to get her voice back.

This week we are taking a different approach to the show this week. In the US it is the week of Thanksgiving which can only mean one thing, Black Friday is once again upon us.  We decide to take an early look at the ads “leaked” on BFADS.net  and see what kind of goodies we want. From Kevin with one of his well know weaknesses, 256GB Flash drive to Elisa’s quilting needs with a super cool sewing machine and Mike rounds it out with his trip into virtual reality from Sony. Then everything else in between.

gse236
This week it is Elisa with Mike and Kevin while Melissa is still recovering from being ill and trying to get her voice back.

We lead off with a thank you to both active duty and military veterans thanking them for their service. Mike gives us a link to video that covers a song that a cousin of his recorded that to commemorate the service of just this type of individual and the episode of his podcast that covered it in detail.

Then we have some additional follow-up to last week’s show on One Hit Wonders. Will Elisa smack us down again? We then move on to Mike’s discussion of his experience with his new Android powered phone, likes and dislikes. Mike also has some IoT troubles related to his phone. Kevin mentions his desire for a new CD Box set and a discussion on getting music on the cheap.

We close out with our picks Mike talks about his desire for a surface book but goes with a Lenovo Flex Flip. Kevin doesn’t need but wants a new 13” MacBook Pro to carry to work. Elisa rounds out the picks with her tease about taking the money and applying it to one of her favorite things a cruise on the high seas.
