GSH Episode 9 - Little House on the Skillet

Posted by Ryan on July 22nd, 2008

New in this episode, better sounds quality! Well, sort of. I’ve upped the compression from 64 kbps to 128 kbps, but Pat literally phoned in this episode. Strange enough though, he actually sounds pretty decent. This episode, we talk about cooking and tiny houses. No, not ones for dolls but ones for us! Pretty awesome. Enjoy!

GSH Episode 7 - Snakes and the Undead

Posted by Ryan on June 19th, 2008

Look at that! Told you we were still making episodes. We’re changing our format just a bit, providing you two smaller topics rather than just one huge one. I think it will make things a bit more easy on us and interesting for you. This week, Ryan explore the Python programming language and Pat talked about World War Z. Here are the links we discussed in the show. Enjoy!

GSH Episode 6 - How we do it

Posted by Ryan on May 22nd, 2008

Hey everyone! Boy is this episode late. I have a good excuse. I got a new job which required me to move to the otherside of the U.S. This as left me incredibly strapped for time. Pat and I recorded this episode shortly before I left and just now I am getting it up. What’s it about? Our podcast! How do we do it? Well, in this episode, we go over our setup and give you tips so you can learn from our “successes” and failures. Enjoy!

P.S. Don’t worry, there will still be more episodes, I just have to get settled down. We’ll probably record next week. And post the Monday after.

GSH Episode 2 - Conventions

Posted by Ryan on February 19th, 2008

Conventions are the mecca for geeks and is that one time we all get together to be super social. But going to conventions can have a lot of pitfalls that can scare off the inexperienced. And frankly, there are a few tidbits that experience conventioneers could stand to pickup (like take a freakin’ shower). For this episode, we got Lark Anderson of gamespot.com to come give us the tips on going to conventions. He’s been to a lot and knows the ins and outs. Enjoy!
