[Show Notes by Daniel M. Clark]
The Geek Dads this week were myself, Joe Magennis and Scott Jangro – Sam Harrelson couldn’t join us this week, though we hope that we can get him on a couple more times before he starts his new teaching job.
My computer, the one doing the recording, had a failing hard drive. You may notice a whirring noise at some points because my microphone jack also decided to stop working, so I was recording through the laptop’s internal microphone. The computer died later that day, and I had to get it replaced, which is one reason why this show, recorded last Wednesday, is going up today.
Our topics this week:
- Sam’s teaching job
- Joe being under a tornado watch, and dealing with taking the family into the bathroom tub for safety
- Lobster!
- Kid competitions, hockey and skating
- Skiing in various places in the US
- Illness, fevers and general yucky-ness
- Swine flu (OMG WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!)
- Asthma, nebulizers
- Autism
- Scott tells a story about a false positive on a genetic test
- Swamp coolers
- More about autism
- Enough of the depressing stuff! We move on geeky topics… or topic. Twitter. Of course.
- Who we follow and why (and who we no longer follow and why)
- Various clients – Nambu, Tweetie, Tweetdeck
- Having multiple accounts and managing them
- Twitter “chats”
The show runs a hair over an hour. Enjoy!

After the intro music there's no sound… ? I thought the problem was iTunes so I came here and it's the same… epic fail?
I listened on my iPod and got sound in the right ear, but left was dead.
For @scottjangro and anybody else accepting questions on their blog, I like http://www.freedback.com/ a lot – it's free and enables you to collect questions in a database online and have them emailed to you, too.
Plus, you can set up a confirmation email and thank you page.
Ah… that's probably why…. I think one of my speakers is dead then lol. Thanks Shawn!
Thanks Shawn. I use a WP plugin that sends me an email on any form submission.
I've been meaning to try out Freedback though, it does have some great features.
