A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

The iPhone X is available, and the first reviews are out. In this episode, we focus on some of the elements that make this iPhone special and reflect on what they mean for users and the future of the iPhone. The software is not quite ready for the new superstar and iOS may need a few more updates before you can thoroughly enjoy your new phone. However, the future looks bright, and a new acquisition from Apple hints at new video and photographic capabilities for future devices.

Some say that the TSP is different, others that the hosts are having a midlife crisis. All we know is that none of them is the Stig. This is another conversation on buying decisions or maybe I should say purchase rationalisation. What can we say, "things they are a changin".

There is a lot of Bromance, and that's all I'm going to say about that. We talk about the iPhone SE, its trade-offs and the possibility of an update. What was the probable reasoning behind the first one and why would Apple release a second Special Edition iPhone. The A11 Bionic is almost a gaming console SoC as shown by the game Fortnight, but I'm still playing Altos Odyssey. To end the show, we share some personal experiences with several iPhone cases.

We recorded an episode dedicated to making decisions and avoiding buyers regrets. We talk about it in context with Apple products and purchasing decisions. Accidentally it's all audio related because we always have to mention the AirPods, and also chatted briefly about the HomePod. To finalize a podcast episode about sound, what could be more appropriate than dedicating a few words to two of the best podcast players available for iOS.

What are the main advantages and disadvantages of the HomePod from our perspective and what evolution can we reasonably expect in the future. Because we really can't see it evolving into the past, it's a physics thing. Since we are talking of a speaker with a virtual assistant, we complain about Siri and try to tell Apple what to do, because, of course, we know better! We don't, but we do have some expectations and hopefully some reasonable opinions.

Experimental Edition: This Is Us 48:41

48:41

Reflexions on our podcast, how it started and how we feel about it now. It´s the real story, not the simple version we usually give. From there we have a conversation that we would typically not publish on the podcast. We talk about our life, friendship, expectations, fears, disappointments and even our pets. It´s not the Toothy Saber Podcast. It's just us, two friends having a conversation with the mic turned on. It gets personal, emotional and we weren't sure if we would publish it, but here it is. If you ever wanted to know us better, this is the episode for you. Not just things about us, or our opinions but a real conversation between friends. We don't know if we will ever record another episode like this, but if you like it, lets us know.

The Intersection of Technology and Philosophy 45:21

45:21

If Apple represents the intersection between technology and liberal arts, then this episode is the intersection of technology, philosophy and recognizing personal bias. We started talking about all the extreme reactions related to Apple throttling older devices with degraded batteries, and end up reflecting on then, and even our own reactions. How do people acknowledge and value diverging opinions, and why expert views are dismissed when they contradict values or previously held beliefs. There's a little bit of battery technology but not too much, and red wine and cheese. It's not your typical TSP episode, and we want to know what you think. Get in touch with us by Twiter, Facebook or e-mail, we would love to have your feedback.

The inside story on the Toothy Saber AirPods review. How we did it, dealt with equipment restrictions and lessons learned. Diogo also has brand new AirPods and compares them to the Beats X. Chrismas is coming, and Diogo is going to be Batman to entertain the kids in the hospital, or so he says. I think he just wants an excuse to rappel a wall dressed as the dark knight. I can't judge him because I would love to go as Captain America even without the dramatic entry. Don't miss the premiere of Toothy Bites on the podcast.

The X Is for Experimental 49:57

Yes its true, the iPhone X has the best display on any mobile phone available today (manufactured by Samsung). The X delights, but for some people, the transition has some difficulties, especially if you are coming from an android phone. We talk about the qualities of the display and discuss tradeoffs between sizes and form factors. It wouldn't be a TSP episode without a little photography, and Diogo explains why the dual cameras in the iPhone X may be better than the iPhone 8 in certain conditions.

Diogo's iPhone 6S has some iOS 11 woes, but my SE is performing well. On the topic of iOS 11, the new notification and control center improved my user experience on the iPhone considerably, but I'm missing the 3D touch and haptic feedback. How I started using Opera to run away from IE but converted to Firefox in 2004 and got addicted to tabs and extensions. As you can imagine this lead us to a discussion on browsers and we found out that there are things we like in all of them. To wrap up the episode, we talk about a new G series Canon, and according to Diogo, the only flaw is the price.

A short emergency podcast because Diogo couldn't wait to share this news with our listeners. Intel made a CPU with a Radeon GPU together in one package, and we can hardly believe it. Sometimes hell really freezes. Just a few weeks before the launch of the new iMac Pro it seems likely that it will use similar technology. To make our day even better, DisplayMate published an analysis of the display of the iPhone X, and it's excellent Show Notes Music: The Wonder by Dave Deeper Photo via Intel…

A recent Apple acquisition provides a glimpse of upcoming improvements to Apple Photos. Google is arguably ahead with its photos service for now, but Apple users may not have to wait long for similar capabilities. HDR photography is standard on the iPhone 8 and photo stitching software does excellent panoramas. We talk about space exploration, Nasa and SpaceX plan to go to Mars using a fully reusable rocket.

Bionic Photography 42:14

I guess the title says it all, in this episode, we talk about phone photography. We recall back in the days of terrible pictures on feature phones and the rapid evolution in last few years. The iPhone, in particular, has significant improvements year to year and is becoming a handy camera that may not replace a photographer DSLR but just might be good enough for the rest of us. Comparing a traditional DSLR to a mirrorless camera like the FUJI X-T2, highlighting the differences in video quality. We threw in a bit of GoPro and are very optimistic about the future of video and photography on the iPhone, but you will have to listen to find out why.

Another special episode because we have a guest. He was the first person that sent us to feedback, and as a reward, we invited him on the show. We talk about the new iPhones, our expectations for the next year, and yes, we are still talking about the name and the notch. Also, phone sizes, losing the home button and contemplating the end of physical buttons. Is Siri the future of the iPhone interface? We've been using the iOS11 beta for a week and address changes we like and bugs we found. Diogo has a passion for backups (we think it's weird too), but I keep losing files, so I cant criticise. Our guest tells us his history with macs, and we end up wanting Face ID on the mac, better notifications and talk about overblown Apple fails.

The Face of the New iPhone Lineup 1:23:37

8 years ago1:23:37

1:23:37

The Apple Event is that time of the year when they give you an excellent presentation designed to show you their new hardware. It's a 2h marketing campaign, and it usually works, mainly because it's not just hype and the products are good. This one was one of their best and very effective, at least for us; we got lost in Apple time and are convinced. They introduced a lot of buzzwords, but the new features seem substantial. We got a new Apple Watch with cellular, an updated Apple TV and of course three new iPhones. They are new and shiny, and I mean this literally if you kept the eclipse glasses you might want to use them. The leaks revealed plenty but watching the demonstration is another thing entirely. Hardware and software working together to amaze you. If you use emoji, you are going to love animated emoji, and if you don't use it, you may just start. Furthermore, it's selfie heaven if that's your thing, and if you like photography, I don't even know what to tell you. Just when you think it can't get much better, they prove you wrong. The iPhone X (not an ex but 10) is everything we expected and more, but the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 plus are worthy contenders and hold their ground.

Why Jeff Cannata is right, and you should not watch trailers before the movie, except for Suicide Squad, Prometheus and Alien Covenant. For these, you should only watch the trailer.

Now you can see how our minds work because we take a look at file management, or in my case the lack of it. Diogo and I talk about file organization preferences, directories, tags, and how acceptable it is to use your desktop for temporary or permanent storage. From Finder to Pathfinder, Spotlight and even Windows Explorer and the upcoming Timeline. We talk a little of everything related to digital organizational needs and how Google Desktop or Atlas Recall is very close to my ideal tool but not without some caveats.

Apple is still very secretive, but we now know that the next iPhone is called D22 and can only be used by people with Ferraris. I still think it's a distraction from the real phone everyone is waiting for, the iPhone SE 2. Unread got sold again, and we finally remembered the name of a favorite app that is no more. Some popular apps like Ulysses and One Password are changing business models, and we couldn't resist talking about software monetization one more time. Technically Diogo could resist, but sometimes friendship comes with a price. We also talk about surf and boulder, but it didn't make it to the final version of the episode.

Our take on Apple peripherals. We try to argue that the Magic Mouse shouldn't support gestures and that using a mouse a trackpad and a keyboard simultaneously makes more sense.
