Hype versus Reality
…

Meaning. The hype versus reality curve. New technology follows a predictable cycle of hype, as hackers and early adopters pick up new technologies, enthusiasts wring out the most from them, and power users show us how it really works. Where are you on the curve?
Tools. Eric talks about trying to serve up all his digital media from one location. He discusses using Plex as a media server, but is still figuring out the best -- and easiest -- way to make it all work.
Fun. Loyd hosts the Silicon Valley Tabletop Gaming group. Recent games played include Roll for the Galaxy, Pandemic: the Cure, and Nations. He's also deep into Far Cry 4 and has been fooling around with Soren Johnson's Offworld Trading Company.
About this PodcastImprobable Insights is a technology, gaming and general geekery podcast. We try to be short and pithy, splitting the podcast into three segments.
MeaningWe dig deep into a single technology, gaming, or geek-related topic, trying to parse the meaning and implications that underlies the hype and general noise surrounding these topics. The meaning segment always focuses on a single topic.
ToolsAs Eric puts it, this is about what’s in our bag. What do we actually use, why we use it, and the reasons we chose it. These are not reviews as much as experiential discussions revolving around day-to-day use. Would we get it again? Why or why not? We don’t just talk about the stuff we like, but also what we came to dislike over time.
FunHere’s where we talk about what’s entertaining us, ranging from tabletop games, video and computer games, media, movies, books, and anything else that can amuse, entertain, or occasionally enrage us.
