Squirrel and Moose

Dylan and Kyle make the big comeback. Exoplanets! Selling your first-born to the devil! Japanese Buddhist syncretism! Kilts! Nuclear apocalypse films! Rainbow Dash hoodies! Jenny McCarthy! And I think we talked about the web.

Kyle and Dylan solicit topics on Twitter. Wacky hijinks ensue. Also: Is there ageism in Silicon Valley, and can you get off my lawn? Is Brendan Eich such a bad person we must eschew JavaScript for Flash? Is the Surface dead, and did Office for iOS kill it? Mobile first, mobile last, or mobile always? Are newsletters the new blogs, and do we actually care? Why does Tim Cook hate podcasters? Oh, and Squoosecon.

Dylan and guest host Justin McDowell talk about the arrival of flex-box and how it will finally give us the web layout system we've been asking for since the days of Mosaic. Also, Justin's writings on color theory and Sass, the that's-so-Evergreen-ness of Evergreen State College home page pictures, and Dylan experiments with audio compression.

Kyle and Dylan discuss the rebooted Cosmos series -- and Kyle rants about the Girodano Bruno cartoon. Also: Dylan tries out Powerline Ethernet at home (with strange results), way more religion talk than you normally get from these two, waxing on about Carl Sagan, and Dylan's similarities with a certain donkey with a pinned-on tail.

Dylan and Kyle discuss the Keurig's DRM coffee pods and the coming Walled Internet Garden Of Things. Also, what a sport coat actually is, the glory of the razor industry, and yet more Seattle coffee talk.

Dylan and Kyle once more comment on the UX unicorn, why the idea is a bunch of hype, and the problem with our current definitions of user experience. Also: Seattle made the Super Bowl and will probably lose, Dylan gets food poisoning, and Kyle is perplexed by Seattle's perpetual lack of hope for their sports teams.

Kyle and Dylan critique the rise of the Unicorn Institute and what exactly UX really is nowadays. Also: Seattle has a sports ball team in the Super Bowl, the sad past of Seattle sports teams winning sporting titles, being a UX chimera instead of a UX unicorn, failing to stay inside the Hobson Threshold, and making Republican money.

Dylan and Kyle debate the end of net neutrality, the problems of a system without government regulation, and their general shoulder-shrugging at the W3C's entry into the DRM melee.
