    Behind the Curtain, Episode 1

    Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

    We had a great episode tonight. First, we talked about my idea for an ice cream flavor, Impeachment Ice Cream. Perhaps you would like to tell them you like it too.

    Next, we got into some hardcore tech news, including how Comcast has violated net neutrality, then how Google doesn’t care about your privacy.

    The highlight of the show came when I delivered an epic rant about accessible technology. I covered some of the history of screenreaders. I then got into the meat of the matter by discussing how Freedom Scientific wants to sue GW Micro over a ridiculous patent violation, and the proof that GW Micro has not violated the patent.

    I also played some great trance music, then some somber music from The Fountain, then cheered things up with some Frank Zappa, and ended it on a hard note with my favorite musician, the Aphex Twin. We’ve definitely got the show off to a great start. I feel very enthusiastic about it.
