Posted by geeknews at 7:01 PM on June 20, 2011

In Washington D.C. this week was a quick turn around at home.. One thing that I have found the farther east I go the crappier the internet is in hotels just a observation but everytime i’m east the internet sucks in the hotels.

The Slowest Landslide Ever

Posted by Alan Buckingham at 6:41 PM on June 4, 2011

Okay, the headline may be an exaggeration. After all, I don’t know if records exist for such things and if they do, I didn’t look for them. However, be it a record or not, this is still an absolutely amazing natural phenomena.

In Wyoming, recently, a large amount of rain and snow-melt has resulted in unstable conditions. This, in turn, lead to a massive landslide in the Snake River Canyon, which came down across Highway US 26-89. Even now, days later, the landslide is still moving at about a half meter (18 inches) per hour. The Wyoming Department of Transportation has been following it and took a time-lapse video which can be seen below. To get a sense of scale, pay attention to the man who enters the video and walks around RIGHT ON THE LANDSLIDE.

GNC #670 Chrome OS Arrives

Posted by geeknews at 1:02 AM on May 13, 2011

I am sure you have noticed the new strategy with the show content and I hope you like the tighter format. The goal is more insight on the important stuff while at the same time getting you a nice sampling of what you may have missed. This may mean longer rants on some sections of the show and barely a gloss over on other segments. All of this is part of the process I am using to take the show to the next level. Your feedback is welcome. Enjoy todays show! Next show will be road show.. Listen for details.

GNC #669 Fantastic Show

Posted by geeknews at 12:52 AM on May 10, 2011

The hardest part of the show is stopping when I have so much to share, but I am going to do my best to keep the show at 70 minutes. The number of you watching is proving keeping the format tight is good for audience growth. On tonight’s show, I have a pretty strong message for the Mac users so you need to listen in on this one.

GNC #665 Tech Takes Over Store!

Posted by geeknews at 1:04 AM on April 26, 2011

I hope you have been pleased with the format tweak, while all may not be 100% apparent I have made some major process changes here over the past 2-3 shows that I am going to work very to keep in check. One thing should be obvious slightly shorter show.. 1 hour and 10 minutes +/- 4 minutes is the goal.. Keeps you listening longer and keeps the cream of the crop content in the heart of the show.. Going long is something that grew into a monster that I hope to keep tame..
