Show Notes[]
We start with London and SF, then get right into SIP. John gives us a summary of this comm protocol and why NA won't use it. Adam chimes in with an argument and mentions how he got shot down last week.
Adam wants to create a vidcast about his new iPod Touch and his complete audio setup (sounds cool). Will John help out?
Since Adam is coming to SF, John asks about a possible new experiment with Customs. Adam has some good ideas. Find out why John says, "Don't get caught!"
Adam quickly changes the subject to his electronics problems and new cars. Off they go into small cars and... refrigerators?
John talks about the new U.S. currency, how it looks, and rants about what a pain it is to get rid of old currency from different countries.
Adam points out the P.M. of England is visiting the U.S. John can't find it in the news, so sneaks in his new Twitter venture. Not to be outdone, Adam gives him some tips from his Twitter experiences.
Flash: We find out why John is so cranky! Adam has more questions for John about his new Twitter.
John gets bored with Twitter and moves on to Cranky Geeks. Adam manages to switch topics right into bad Dads, XBoxes and John's long hair. We get some good comedy as John and Adam trade digs about hair.
Next up: Adam's notes. We start with U.S. servicemen and mercenaries in Iraq. Computerized camouflage and its effectiveness is discussed, and John has some anecdotes.
Adam asks about John's theory of the dollar's strength vs. other currencies and why the bottom may soon be here. We hear some interesting ideas from John: Who are we screwing, how will the U.S. pull it off, and why will the dollar be strong again? Some good questions from Adam are answered.
We're off to the Olympics - Adam brings up some good points about China. John discusses Chinese art.
So how do we get to Chinese culture and the Chinese presence in Africa? John points out how the Chinese are taking over there. Let's all go to China, since the U.S. media doesn't have a clue.
