This week on VFTQ we cover a whole mine-load of topics, each one lovingly guided out of a small hole from over 2KM below the surface of the earth. I talk about the ongoing controversy in the Jailbreaking community, we have nutjob physicists, Valve announcing DOTA 2 and I explain why Airplane food tastes so terrible (that’s right, there is a scientific reason for it). I also catch up with Damien Mulley who organized the Irish Web Awards (along with doing a whole lot of other rather impressive stuff) and I brought my microphone along to the special VIP launch of the Science Gallery’s ‘Green Machines’ show. And, of course, so much more you wouldn’t believe it. I can’t.

VFTQ 200 – Facts that will blow your mind, man!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (37.6MB)
VFTQ should be downloaded at your very whim from www.ViewFromTheQuad.com.
Today on the show, VFTQ starts a new life as a Podcast-cum-Radio show. This means very little to YOU, the VFTQ Podcast Subscriber, other then the fact that your version of the show will probably be about 10 minutes longer then you are used too. So basically, you get more show. Nothing to be worried about! It also means that if you so wish, you can tune into DCUfm every Monday from 2 until 3 (PM) to hear a slightly edited version of VFTQ with some bangin’ tunes. As the cool kids say.
Topics covered today are a Judge telling a man to make a pilgrimage for abusing a Garda, how your child can dominate the universe with his own tech-mech, using technology to help the school starting process, how Activision-Blizzard and the White House are building a relationship to make American schoolchildren smarter, the Ig Nobel Awards 2010 and some facts that will blow your mind.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (18.3MB)
Hello, and welcome to this fine episode of View From The Quad, available at www.viewfromthequad.com!
This week on View From The Quad, I have an almost half hour long show for you. It’s to make up for being two days late. Sorry about that.
Today we cover a veritable smorgasbord of newsworthy items (I haven’t used that term in a long time, right?) We have a way to use to Duel Sims within your iPhone 4 without jailbreaking, how the Peace Corps can now use technology like Skype and Facebook to stay connected to loved ones at home, where the ORIGINAL Kermit the Frog will spend the rest of his days, how a small liberal arts university in the USA requires its students to play through Valve’s Portal game and how the universe is actually two millions years older then we previously thought. Awesome!
