Diggnation | Episode 199 – Samovar Teas!

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Tech1123 days ago

The guys are at a tea bar this week and for those of you not living in California, yes, these do exist.  They are trying a few teas and Alex isn’t digging them all. As usual, there are plenty of crazy stories this week.  The Man Paid $2500 To Impregnate Neighbors Wife story is nearly unbelievable.  Do these kinds of things really happen?  I guess most shows on CMT prove that they do, even in the states. The Worst Homemade Star Wars Costumes is hilarious.  There are so many people failing miserably in their fandom.  We know how it goes...

Diggnation | Episode 198 – Video Games or Sex?

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1130 days ago

Kevin is talking about the new DiggBar at the beginning here and he is obviously very positive on it.  He does provide some good clarifications, but he seems to be downplaying the large amount of criticism towards it.  Many sites have disabled the bar on their sites, but this Diggnation may have been recorded before this happened. The Hulu/Boxee story comes up here again.  It is still no more understandable why the studios wouldn’t want Hulu viewable in as many ways as possible. Games or sex?  Oh the age old question.  More men choose...

Diggnation | Episode 197 – Asteroids with Adam Carolla

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Tech1137 days ago

Kevin had chance to sit down with Trent Reznor of NIN after getting a tweet from him on Twitter.  He filmed a Digg Dialog with him and it is definitely something to check out.  The video has been embedded after the break. Adam Carolla is on this week’s show in a short clip.  His radio station recently closed shop so he started his own podcast.  Go check it out if you are a fan. CO-OP gets a shout-out and Kevin makes a good point about it being a great show for people that aren’t that into video games.  For us who follow games closely...

Diggnation | Episode 196 – Brews on the Beach

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Tech1143 days ago

This episode is totally off-topic and totally great.  Wanna know what shampoo Alex uses?  Wanna know how many times Hippie Glenn uses the toilet before flushing?  This is the one. The guys cover something that may just save your life, well, not your life, but maybe a relationship or two.  Gmail labs has a new feature that lets you “unsend” an email.  Check out the panic button under labs at Gmail and it will give you a 5 second window after hitting send to undo your enraged rant mislabeled subject line. How to lose your job in 140...

Diggnation | Episode 195 – Beers with Gary Vaynerchuk

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Tech1151 days ago

Gary Vaynerchuck is on this week and things get a little crazy.  This guy has a crazy amount of energy, almost overpowering.  It’s hard to out-talk Alex, but it happens here. One of the big things on the internet recently is bacon and it’s gets some time here.  How does something like bacon become “popular?”  Kevin and Alex were at SXSW last week and some of their friends were getting bacon tattoos.  People, friends don’t let friends get bacon tattoos. We posted the video here a few weeks ago but Prager will be...

Diggnation | Episode 194 – SXSW in Austin!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1157 days ago

These live Diggnations always come off a little awkward.  This week’s episode was shot at South By Southwest and the guys are pretty all-over. The most interesting thing on this week is Kevin’s iPhone OS 3.0 predictions.  Keep in mind, this was shot before yesterday’s event so all things considered he was very close.  Kevin even goes into detail about how cut/paste will work.  He obviously has some sources from within Apple.  Let’s hope he predicts an Apple tablet. Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht are in Austin and going...

Alex and Kevin on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tonight

by Jonathan Downin in News1164 days ago

For those of you who haven’t heard Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose from Diggnation are going to be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. This is a big deal for all of us technology and Diggnation fans.  Jimmy Fallon is trying to bring technology and gaming more into the forefront with his new show and has already made big strides in that direction by having Joshua Topolsky from Engadget appear on the show on Monday. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon airs at 12:35 am (EST) on NBC so make sure not to miss it.  Alex and Kevin will be coming on...

Diggnation | Episode 193 – The Lost City of Diggnation

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1165 days ago

Google has found Atlantis!  Well, not really.  The guys are talking about the story on this episode, but they missed one part of the story.  Apparently the ancient city looking image on Google Earth is actually boat paths created by the boats gathering the data.  Too bad. Many of you have probably seen those high fructose corn syrup commercials claiming that it is no worse for you than actual sugar.  Whether that is true or not, Pepsi has decided to reintroduce some of its sodas using only pure sugar with retro can designs.  This is only for...

Diggnation | Episode 192 – Cube Dolls

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1171 days ago

Kevin and Alex are going to be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon next Wednesday, March 11th.  For all of us who have been watching Diggnation it’s going to be really fun to see them on national TV.  Expect Alex to cause some havoc. The guys talk about Safari 4 and Kevin loves it– until it stops working.  Funny how things work like that sometimes. Quicken Online Can’t Believe Mint’s Growth, Tales Of Horror From The Circuit City Liquidation, Kevin and Alex scheduled for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Microsoft To Start Shipping...

Diggnation | Episode 191 – Evolving Birds!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1178 days ago

Kevin loves his gadgets.  He is talking about the Kindle 2 in the first story here and adds a whole bunch of features to it that it doesn’t actually have.  Oh, day-dreaming Kevin. Crazy story about a crazy girl.  People, be careful. If you have been wondering why Kevin has been slurring a bit for the past recent episodes he reveals it here, it’s the invisaligns. Kindle 2: First Hands On, 1-night Stand Man Wakes to Find Lover has Carved Name on Him, Amazing Bird Fishes Like A Human, HIV Mutates to Death With New Drug, iJustine + Digg...

Diggnation | Episode 190 – Kevin Rose: Bill Gates Fanboy?

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1185 days ago

Watching Diggnation it’s pretty easy to view Kevin Rose as an everyday dude, but when you hear that he was invited to have lunch with Bill Gate you realize the he really isn’t. Wow, the Onion really nails it with the announcement of SONY’s latest and worst.  Don’t miss it. There is a very coherent and thought out discussion on the issue of sponsors disassociating themselves from Michael Phelps after the pot smoking incident. When a Mac fanboy meets Bill Gates, Sony Releases New Stupid POS That Doesn’t F#cking Work,...

Diggnation | Episode 189 – Wrestling

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1192 days ago

The transformation the guy takes in the first story in this episode is amazing.  It really should be an inspirational story for people to lose weight no matter how big they are. Hacking road signs is cool in concept, but causing a crash because something thinks the “zombocalypse” has come–  not so good. Note: Links below lead to the large Quicktime version.  Other formats are available at the Diggnation site. WTF? Incredibly slimming down pics, Are you kidding me?, Workflow Charts show Fundamental Men vs Women Differences, Story...

Diggnation | Episode 188 – Cake Maker 2000

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1199 days ago

I’m not sure that Diggnation should really be considered a technology show.  It started out that way, and the stories are chosen from a social news website which is intrinsically technology, but the topics really aren’t.  Just guys talkin’ guy stuff, guynology? I’m waiting for next week when Alex gets Windows 7 on his machine.  He is a Windows guy so I am sure he will like it, but it will be interesting to hear what him and Kevin have to say about it. USA’s Worst Food: Baskin Robbins Oreo Shake, AskMen’s Top...

Diggnation | Episode 187 – Home Sweet Home in San Francisco

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1206 days ago

Back to Kevin’s couch. More Twitter talk right up front on this one.  Some good advice here for people looking to grow their following. If you like tea, you should listen to Kevin when he gives tea advice.  I bought some that he recommended a while ago and it is great. Really looking forward to Gdrive as well.  Online back-up sounds great.  Just don’t let my stuff out Google. A cozy, tea-filled homecoming to Kevin’s apartment in San Francisco, featuring strategies for increasing Twitter followers, and an invention that saves...

Diggnation | Episode 186 – Live In Los Angeles!

by Jonathan Downin in Tech1213 days ago

Another live Diggnation this week and they seem to have finally switched over to the Wednesday schedule.  Only 2 months late on that one.  The audio is much better than in past live episodes so don’t let that scare you off. The guys are talking about the Palm Pre.  It’s nice to hear them excited about it.  Will we really see a true competitor to the iPhone? The wireless charging of the Pre looks amazing.  Everything has to have that soon. A drink laden, star studded affair off Hollywood Boulevard. Diggnation is back before a live...
