Happy Hanukkah! Back home for a month on winter vacation, nice to be back. Few episodes on their way. And this time, I will actually be podcasting from college. I miss it so much, I created a video about it. Check it out at the bottom of the post. Check out the Facebook group. Also, follow Nerd News Radio on Twitter for the latest NNR Updates!

Coming to you from Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York! First podcast from college, folks. I’m still getting back into podcasting, from my eyes, this episode was pretty rough, it will take me a little while to get the hang of it, again.

Nerd News Radio #47 for Monday June 9th, 2008!

I’m taking a big month-long trip overseas. I will be in Israel for 2.5 weeks, Vienna for a week, and Berlin for a few days. I prerecorded an episode to release over the next week or so. I will not be recording podcasts while I’m away, it’s too much to bring audio equipment with me.

Hey everyone,

I just got done recording Nerd News Radio #43, but Garageband crashed before I had the chance to safe. It’s my fault, I should have saved before adding the song, etc. I won’t have time to re-record tonight, but expect NNR #43 on Wednesday. I’m sorry!

Postponed (Again)

Kabren — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 01:12:15 +0000

Hey folks,

I apologize. It’s been about a month since I last recorded an episode. I had the episode for today, Sunday the 9th, all planned out, but now, my G5 is experiencing a crash. After having my mother’s G5 crash earlier in the day, I don’t have the time or energy to record a podcast on top of the schoolwork I must complete and the tech support I need to administer. I’m going to try my best, and I mean that, to record the podcast tomorrow night, Monday, March 10th. It is a school night, so I can’t guarantee it, but I’m going to try.

Stay subscribed, keep listening, I’m sorry. I’ll be better in the future.

Sincerely,
Kabren

I’ve had major technical problems today. So, instead of an episode, I’m giving you my hands-on review of the One Laptop Per Child Laptop, or the XO Laptop. My G5 crashed twice, so I recorded on my MacBook and it’s a little impromptu. So, I apologize. I’ll be back on Wednesday with a fully functional audio system, and with a real episode!

Anyways, Mark Peck from Telco Talk and a friend from school lent me his XO Laptop for the evening. Here’s my review of the Open Source Initiative.

See you Wednesday!
