Guys,

I think returning to a more frequent show is such a great idea for your your listeners. My engagement was definitely much more sparse during the last few weeks.

Justin, if you are so keen on holding some bitcoin you could add a bitcoin donate button? 🙂

I love that a request to reveal what Jason’s secret project was instead revealed there were more secret projects 🙂

Really enjoyed the show, very pleased to hear you’ll be doing weekly episodes again.

I just thought the same thing as Matt S while listening to this episode: you’ve got to see Black Mirror. It’s not a normal series actually, because each episode is totally unrelated to the others – basically a short movie. They’re also rather uneven in quality. But episodes s01e01 and s02e03 are a must see. (BM is 2 seasons, 3 episodes each. More to come in Feb.)

On the subject of TV recommendations, here's some I've watched recently: Black Mirror - self-contained drama/satire series about the dark side of technology and how it is influencing our life, everything is set in the near future, sort of like a modern day Twilight Zone; 6 episodes (BBC/DirecTV), 5/5 stars The Wrong Mans - a comedy/light thriller about an every-man who, with a serious of unlikely coincidences, becomes wrapped up in the world of crime and corruption, reminded me of the Simon Pegg Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz/At World's End trilogy; 6 episodes (Hulu), 5/5 stars Betas - comedy about a group of programmers in a San Fran startup accelerator trying to hit it big; it's like Entourage for developers (just not really as good). It's kind of cheesy, but hey, there aren't many shows where the main character makes bitcoin jokes and I like supporting Amazon's new original content pipeline; 11 episodes (Amazon Instant), 3/5 stars

Hurrah! Back to a regular schedule. Check your donation box for some value.

Jason, rather then say Renminbi you can just say RMB. That’s what the Chinese say since its easier. You can also say Kwai (which is the slang version).

Hey J & J….regarding “La Critique”, I would be honored if either or both of you would consider being the first people to take a look at my project, and then if you think it worthy of your time…to review it and offer your critical perspective. I sincerely believe it is now at a stage where it won’t be a waste of your time, but I’m also prepared to hear about it (and be shamed on a future episode….ha!) in the event that you think it’s awful. Any chance that you’d permit me to submit it to you via email?

Whatever the outcome….I’ve been with ya’ since episode 1, and I’m thrilled to hear that you’re making the Techzing podcast a weekly production again!
