After some discussion of the weather (Mike’s finally happy with his), we talk about Mike’s new podcast. He talks about the creating and submitting his new creation. We also examine using Twisted Wave , Blog Touch Pro , Simplenote, Box.com and Anchor.fm for his tablet only production of his podcast.

Then we look at Apple’s announcement this week. We were not terribly excited about it but, your mileage may vary.

From there we move on to our picks. First Mike, in keeping with his tablet podcast production, wants the iPad Mini. With the hope of spring to come Elisa wants a new grill. And Melissa just wants to sit down on a new loveseat.

After Mike complains about the weather and Melissa and Elisa torture him with theirs we move on to a variety of subjects. First we discuss the upcoming Apple event. Then Elisa tells us about her ongoing saga with Spectrum. From there it morphs to streaming services. We move on to Melissa tells us about her new Apple Watch and has a helpful hint for anyone upgrading to a new watch. Elisa regales us with her weird Do Not Disturb thing. Finally Mike tells about his wife’s new car and trying figure how to make it easy for her to play music.

On to our picks. First Melissa looks for a Thunderbolt Dock. Elisa decides to have 2 picks. First there’s the iPhone XR Smart Battery Case. Second is the Apple Pencil. Last but not least Mike wants to play more games so he wants an external hard drive for his Xbox.

This week we are down to just 2 hosts, but they’re the best hosts (just ask us). After moaning about the weather we actually have things to talk about. First Mike and Melissa talk about remembering things and how we cope (hint : Mike wants to be a cyborg). After we discuss a few other subjects we get to our main subject, Geeky Pet Gifts. After that we discuss Netflix’s Black Mirror : Bandersnatch and what devices support it.

On this noteworthy episode, Tim Robertson, founder of the Stoplight/MyMac networks and creator of Geekiest Show Ever joins to celebrate our 300th episode. We talk about the history of the show and its inspirations and, as always, we do veer off in other directions. Topics discussed are: video, pinball and arcade games, brain farts on other podcasts that we can’t quite remember (Google ain’t it wonderful?), women on the internet, and just some general reminiscing.

As an experiment we record the podcast in Facetime, let us know what you think. We did have some bandwidth issues so some of the audio is choppy in spots.

Elisa (the last hold out) finally upgrade to Mojave she tells us about her experience, likes and dislikes.

From there we talk about Apple Music coming to the Amazon Echo. This then turns into a discussion of the different music services and which ones we like and why.

For our picks we start with Elissa who wants a Accuvoice AV200 Tv Speaker with hearing aid Technology.   Next Mike wants to listen to music and maybe hear better so he was looking at the HUB: HiFi Wireless Earbuds. Finally Melissa wants to closely inspect things so she picked the AmScope SE400-Z Professional Binocular Stereo Microscope.
