78: Jameslessness

25Mar

This weeks episode is missing a little something extra: James. That’s right, it’s his annual “leave Matthew the steering wheel trip”… I don’t think it went too bad. We had a few special guest and tech talk. We talked about EA, the state of the video game industry (a little more about SimCity, I promise we’re almost done) The future of jobs, a lot about Google and a little about BlackBerry. And if you missed James too much, don’t worry, he’ll be back next week.
