I hope you weren't looking for us to actually talk about technology news this episode. We took this snowy, icy morning to just catch up on personal projects, trips, and a few tidbits in the broader world. Rest assured next week we'll get back into the mucky muck.

Colin and Chris are out this week but we wanted to release something from the archive for your pleasure. First, we deep dive into the universe of Star Trek and then Davis joins us for a look at various Linux distros. It's an easy going Shiny Podcast, the quality of the audio should prove that point. Enjoy and see you next week! Special Guest: Davis.

We are back! After a caaaaaRAZY month where we needed to find our heads and do some soul searching we jump right back into the shady, the shiny, and everywhere in between. This week we cover Google's notch law, Google does some evil, Apple does some good, and Windows throws everyone a bag of wrenches.

There's no splitting hairs here: we had to take a breather last week because the news was just so bleak in the tech world we couldn't bring ourselves to do an episode on it. This week we're back with a very quick overview of that news and then immediately a pickmeup from our dear friend John Grandi who swoops in to save us. We talk a lot about Games Done Quick and E3 and if you want more in depth analysis of the bad stuff we've included the links below.

This week we're keeping it somewhat tiny with a wrap up of this years E3 or Electronic Entertainment Expo with a heavy emphasis on Fallout 76 because, well, it 'spoded the internet.

Guys, can we just take a second to recognizze that we've managed to get an episode out every Monday for MONTHS! We're super proud and we'll except your pride too. This week we get into some huge developments including Apple's World Wide Developers Conference or WWDC and Microsoft's planned purchase of GitHub in addition to the beginning of the great CPU wars, FCC lied to you?

You know what makes recording a podcast even more fun? Recording it in the same room as your co-host and and not having to rely on the internet to properly carry your voice and connect you.

This week's Tiny Shiny actually lives up to it's name as we keep it simple with a heavily edited report on net neutrality vote and a look into GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation, a bill...no, sorry, law slated to go into effect May 25th. We also pathetically attempt to thank some of our German listeners and giggle a lot.

This week we decided to go with another Tiny Shiny as a result of our dear friend Christopher being abducted by the beautiful weather and ultimately trapped in the woods with ample sunshine and a dog named Bruce. We hit on a few topics like Colin's new computer build, Christopher's a little sore about software, and a new rumor around CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077!

We went back to the drawing board on the title of these shorter episodes and like a blinding light bulb smacking us in the face we arrived at Tiny Shiny. Like, duh, guys. This week we spend some time with MyFitness Pal, AMD's recent news of vulnerabilities on their CPU's, Google's continuing battle with Oracle, and more!

Folks, I'm just going to say it: this episode is long. We opted for a longer news segment and no deep dive because there was a lot to cover but we've got some awesome things to talk about.

It's our dear Jacob's 30th birthday and what better way to spend than at the American Classic Arcade Museum also known as "Funspot" in New Hampshire. Upright Arcade games and pinball as far as the eye can see! The Shiny Podcast takes you there with a special short episode we recorded live on location. It's a little different this week, no news, new depressing headlines... just fun. Please forgive us for the rough audio! We'll be back with your regularly scheduled Shiny very soon. http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/ http://www.funspotnh.com/ Special Guest: Jared Beerman.
