I’ve got a huge crush on Kristen Schaal and a massive man-crush on NDT and I look sort of like Eugene Mirman. Too bad everything Wil Wheaton does is awful or this would be my favorite podcast of all time.

We’ve got to respectfully disagree about Wil, Bryce. Not only does he provide some of the sharpest, cleverest and honest commentary on the world, the media, creativity and society, but he’s turned in some memorable performances in his career. From Stand By Me to The Big Bang Theory, and a little thing called ST:TNG in between, we can’t get us enough of @wilw. Oh, and one other thing: Kristen got married a few weeks ago. (But we still agree with you about her!)

I noticed your sideburns, Neil. If I’d have met you I would have mentioned it, but I haven’t. Yet.

As far as medical technology goes, both of my parents spent time in the hospital recently. While they used computers extensively for charting, those computers still ran on Windows XP, or even Windows 95! Meanwhile, the rest of the world is up to Windows 8.
