How To Screencast Like The Khan Academy
By the way, thanks for appending the previously recorded Digedu conversation to the end of the current episode. It makes listening to it easy for MP3 consumers like me. 🙂
How do you spell the name of the company that Justin joined?
@Andrea Like this… daiagaeadaua.acaoa
Thanks. I tried that with .com and knew that wasn’t the site.
Hey Guys, great episode!
Like both of you (and most nerds) I am very excited digital printing about and driverless cars. We’re finally living in the future!
@Jason – you mentioned “driving down to the driverless car showroom”. but I think that with the advent of the driverless car the the concept of personal car ownership will become old fashioned real quick. I know that I will be happy not having to worry about parking, insurance, registration, depreciation, theft, damage, car servicing, wasting time filling up etc. I can’t wait!
WRT to math/science “pin ups”, my favourite (fictional) dude is Tony Stark. I’m almost 35 and I still want to be Tony Stark when I grow up! 🙂
@James P. McGrath – Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
And you’re totally right about Tony Stark! I CAN NOT believe I forgot to mention him! He’s the perfect example of a genius engineer who’s also a total badass and the coolest guy in the room. In fact, I always point out to Colby how he’s the ultimate engineer. Needless to say, we’ve watched Iron Man and Iron Man 2 together numerous times. 😉
Dammit, someone beat me to the Tony Stark comment! He is the ultimate nerdy cool guy.
I think he somes it up well himself in The Avengers…
Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?
Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
Hey guys, nice to hear a story with a personal touch!
“Crazy story of the Virtual Irish Pub” made me laugh on a way to work, and you could hear the remnants of Justin’s ‘Irish ego’ in his effort to do with Digedu segment what he wanted 🙂
Priceless ! Thanks again guys!
