Mind of UPSLynx for the week of September 27th

Bobby Miller October 3, 2009 5:54 PM ET in Tech

I took the show on the road with me as I prepared to travel to Chicago. Fortunately, an old college friend let me crash at his place. Unfortunately, I had to deal with his lust for the camera. His annoyances would hardly stop me from talking about the upcoming Icrontic Oktoberfest, which is sure be to the best ever. Also, a quick recap of the events of Icrontic goes Renaissance. The big news this week was NVIDIA’s unveiling of Fermi, as well as AMD talking up their open source physics system dubbed Bullet Physics. Get to it!

    booze in an episode - hope you don't have to make more takes per scene than usual.

    that certainly was a interesting night.

    Turkey stout, now there's an idea I could get behind. Epic lulz on the video as usual Lynx.

    Turkey Stout? I don't know, I love, love, love a good Stout but turkey sounds off. Then again, I liked Schlenkerla (Rauchbier style) which tasted pretty much like bacon in your beer.

    You don't want bacon beer. It's called Rauchbier. You don't want it.

    Oh well, I'll stick with my rum and I'll keep my food separate from it (until it hits the stomach anyway).

    haha, thanks. Had it custom tailored because, well, I'm absurdly proportioned.

    Love that coat. Very warm, has a removable liner, ect.

    Oh, and ask Lincoln how he almost destroyed the left shoulder of the coat

    DO IT. PUnch a hole in me.

    I'm not afraid. You'll have to actually leave your little hole-in-the-wall city of Marion and meet me in Chicago for once.

    You claim to love the city.

    I call your bluff.

    Also - Dunigan makes a great sidekick.

Hey, be nice. Icrontic is full of good people, we promise.
