#17 - Pay Per View Skeptic Fling Poo
Yes, the title of this post is an inside joke that unfortunately only those who attended can understand. Exclusionary? Definitely. If you want to be part of the Illuminati you must fill out the appropriate forms, submit your entrance fee, and then go through the proper initiation - or you can just join us next week.
Thanks to everyone who either joined us for our funny, quirky, smart, and mind...
#16 - I Am Such A Wuss

Next week’s VirtualDS will be on Friday (again) - jump...

Tokbox was working last night. Yeah, I know, it’s hard to believe. Are you skeptical? Good. Because that’s not the complete story. There are many things that I would’ve expected to be available in 2010; flying cars, replacements organs, food in pill form, failed human exploration of Jupiter, sentient homicidal computers, and most of all video conference software that...
