You are so the plan guy!

I'm sorry your plan was thwarted and Cranky Geeks is no more.

The plan may not be thwarted as much as it will need someone else to bear the burden in order to be seen through to execution.

The worst that could happen is I'd be asked to fly out to do the show as well...

I was thinking more a Cease & Desist.

Cute.

I wish you'd follow-through on even a percentage of the ideas you have.

Your life might be wildly different than it is now.

I hope you don't end up like your forensics instructor.

I think that given given my plans for school, I'm doing quite well, thank you very much.

ehowton November 15 2010, 16:29:07 UTC

Yes! Not to minimize that one one iota - very well done sir.

Nice article and thanks anonymous November 16 2010, 07:48:10 UTC

Good write-up. John

FYI Farber moved to NYC and that was the end of that gag.

Thank you, Sir; I'm honored.

Wondered why the Danica gig ended.

From everything I've heard Cranky Geeks is not coming back :-( I do dearly miss that show.

BUT Dvorak has started a new short tech discussion show, X3, with a couple of the former Cranky Geeks (not sure if the 'guests' will rotate in the future): http://x3show.mevio.com/ (raw feed is here: http://www.mevio.com/feeds/x3show.xml, iTunes here: itpc://mevio.com/feeds/x3show.xml). I really enjoy it, a lot of the crank still comes through!

schpydurx November 16 2010, 14:32:10 UTC

Thanks for the tip! I'll take a look right now.

Did you see John's comment above?

panacea42 November 16 2010, 23:44:36 UTC

Yes, very cool!

Interesting.

They need to work on their chromo-key. And just like with Cranky Geeks, then need someone to run sound that knows what they're doing; perhaps hand a boom or two (or shotguns) and be done with it. No scratching, etc. But they do need someone to do live monitoring.

I'm not sure I like the new format, but I'll try it out for a couple of days and see what comes of it.

Thanks again for the heads up!
