The Tech Offensive

No, Wait,

THAT Cloverfield (but thanks to flickr user ‘helloimchuck’ for the CC-Attribution licensed image). Thanks to flickr user TV Squad Julia for the movie poster image.

Went to a midnight showing of Cloverfield in Portland last night (thanks Jott for going with me). My disbelief was suspended, my heart was racing. I thought it was entirely perfect. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie so intense.

This thread is about how awesome Cloverfield is. Please leave a comment if you’ve seen it, please go see it if you haven’t.

Hey, everyone, it’s The Tech Offensive Netcast 10 (NOT episode 11), Macworld 2008 coverage part deux. Also check out the first half of our Macworld netcast, and our original Macworld consolidated news post.

Due to technical difficulties*, this will be a rare CHOOSE YOUR OWN NETCAST edition of The Tech Offensive…when silence occurs, please assume that Aaron is uttering one of the following:

• a dick joke,
• a pussy joke (or reference to),
• a racist comment,
• something about strippers,
• something witty about how gay Ross is (even though he’s not on the cast).

Please also feel free to laugh or be offended accordingly.

Thanks again to Jacques Vaughn for returning to the cast, Scott Tridle for calling in for the first time and of course to Bennett Leader and Aaron Colter for joining us.

Anyway, here is the NEWS:

… and look how excited we are!

I’ve uploaded all pictures taken with my camera to a Flickr account, but if you’d rather you can grab a zip of the whole set instead.

Vanessa was kind enough to send me a link to some pics she has from the party, they include pics from her camera:

and some Polaroids that Cassie took:

Vanessa took the pic of Clint being excited as well.

Jott also has some pics up in a .Mac Web Gallery, but really, who the fuck cares?

Ok, just kidding Jott, jeeze, chill out.

If you like the pictures, let us know: leave us a comment.

We’ve mentioned Fabriclive once or twice on the cast, so I thought this might be of interest. I guess Fabriclive expected something else when they tapped the hype act of ought-seven for the 37th installment of their ongoing mix series. Too much obscure French disco and novelty acts in the short mix killed it, and besides, clearing the rights on all that shit probably wouldn’t have been worth the cash. Ed Banger ends up releasing it as a Xmas gift for friends of the label and somehow it ends up on the internet(?!)Grab it from AsianManDan here: Justice at Fabriclive

Hey, Everyone, it’s The Tech Offensive Episode 8, in which is discussed:

• The death of HDDVD and what it means to poor people,
• The death of the OLPC and what it means to poor people,

• The FCC as it relates to (hopefully) punishing the shit out of Comcast for stopping our stealing, and
• Ross’s birthday and how it relates to Louie taking his shirt off.

As always, we have picks too!!!

• Zach – ipowerhour, but with whiskey for double-seriousness
• Jane Sniper – Ross Faulkenberg’s Birthday
• Louie – Ross Faulkenberg’s Birth (but, really, NetNewsWire)

• Aaron – The Daily Show hosted by that scab Jon Stewart
