The Screen Savers crew is back with a weekly podcast at thisWeekinTech.com. I talked about The Screen Savers a lot here, but for some reason I can’t find those posts, anyways Screen Savers got me where I am today: geek wise. As a late geek bloomer I started to learn a lot about tech 5 years ago when I first started watching that the Screen Savers on TechTV. Before I started watching Screen Savers I was solely a video game gadget guy that would get the latest news in the Bestbuy ad and Video Game websites and magazines. Horrible. I never knew were to go on the web nor had the resources for the mags. But one day I was talking with someone and they told me about TSS, I started watching that day and I loved it, Leo, Pat and the crew taught me a lot. The first, get a Tivo so I could record the show and watch it ever day after a long day of Caddying. Second, Slashdot, something I don’t read anymore but such a great resource. Those first few years, I grew so much, now look at me now. Yeah, I still don’t really know too much but I do now how to get it. I might be making the show seem like a tutorial on how to use the internet or baby steps for the computer idiots, it wasn’t; Call for Help hosted by Chris Perillo, another tachTV show covered that. The Screen Savers was a show for those in betweeners, like I was, someone that was computer savvy but needed to know more. Well about a year ago, maybe two, G4 bought techTV and crumbled all the shows. I was hurting not knowing if I should leave, hoping it would go back to the same strategy, it didn’t it turned into something unpleasant, it turned into a hip call for help. Ahh, I was so disappointed.
Anyways, one of the best parts of the show was the beginning when they just talked about tech news, well now they are all back and they are doing a podcast. The podcast of just tech news and commentary. I love it, I have listened to two already and I not only into podcasting now but I can finally get my tech roots quenched. Make sure to check it out. And thanks Jason B. for telling me, otherwise I don’t think I would have noticed.
