The GeekyCasts

0002C: Another Day, Another Bombing

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:02:14 +0800

rOckY again returns to the podcasting world with a few updates, slight asthma issues and a nomination he's really gunning for. Don't forget to vote for the Geeky Guide over at the hush and listen blog (http://khalelian.blogspot.com/) and show your support! You can vote pretty much daily or whenever your IP Address refreshes, hehe. Just be sure to clear your cookies and cache as needed and vote away. As for the main topic of today's GeekyCast is the recent boming at Congress and rOckY takes a stab at why it's not so big and how we really need to move on to other things. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0002B: Disinfecting a Friend's Computer

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 23:24:24 +0800

While rOckY may be in need of serious disinfection himself given his horribly runny nose, he tries to take the time to day to force out a GeekyCast and talk about the basics of emergency computer recovery and how to squeeze out a bit more performance when visiting a friend's computer. This is a quick run down of things he removes and things he adds in to make computers run better and is generally a free service for nearby friends unless they decide to give him 250Gb external hard drives. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0002A: Technical Enhancements and War-Related Thoughts

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 16:08:53 +0800

Today, rOckY is testing a new headset instead of his usual webcam-based microphone for recording this GeekyCast and he'd really appreciate feedback on its viability as a new way of handling these episodes. Apart from the usual updates, reminders about New Worlds 5 and other such things, rOckY also talks about his interest in war documentaries and how it seems to be more of a family trait. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00029: Today's News Bits 09.07.07

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 04:31:47 +0800

Today rOckY decided to be a bit more conservative and just focus on a few major news items of interest as opposed to totally geeking out on a single subject in light of yesterday's episode getting mangled. Today we talk about the passing of the great tenor Pavarotti, the recent Apple announcements and the Protoss Mothership. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00028: Talking About StarCraft II

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 21:40:00 +0800

In today's GeekyCast, rOckY finally takes the time to talk about all the announcements around StarCraft II. While trying to keep his cool as he describes the units, he does highlight a few of the early announcements that catch his eye and some of the early gameplay ideas that come to mind. Let's play! http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00027: TV Talk and Other Tales

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 20:27:07 +0800

Today rOckY continues running through recent events of interests, things for geeks to look out for and then settles down to talk about some of his favorite TV game shows. http://geekyguide.blgospot.com/

00026: The Return...

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 20:19:37 +0800

After almost a month of silence, the GeekyCasts are back and better than ever. Today rOckY just goes over the general updates to sort of refresh everyone on what has happened in the past month along with highlighting certain events of significant geekyness in the weeks and months to come! http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00025: Being a Boss vs Being a Leader

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 05:41:11 +0800

rOckY has work on his mind tonight and is wanting to solicit ideas about best practices when it comes to managing people. Do you really need to impose your will at times and become the stereotypical boss of sitcom fodder? http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00024: What's on the Telly?

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 04:48:49 +0800

Today rOckY talks about TV shows he really likes and the obvious connection between all the shows. Do you like any of them as well for similar reasons? Do you think rOckY is just being weird? Leave your comments at the Geeky Guide! http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00023: Thinking About Innovation

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 03:58:39 +0800

rOckY is back on a more serious tone and talks about innovation and what it means and how it may lead to better things for him and his team at work. This is all because of a lecture he watched on YouTube about Innovation at Google that really struck him - you can check it out on the Geeky Guide as well at: http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00022: Sunday Stories in Song

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 10:43:05 +0800

rOckY promises this is his last musical GeekyCast for a bit. We'll return to regular programming tomorrow. This is related to an on-going series of entries over on his personal blog Beyond Dinobot Island (http://grimlock88.livejournal.com/) related to songs of his past. The first is a variatin on "When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bob Bobbin Along" and the second is a mass song entitled "One More Gift" http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00021: Saturday Songs

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 02:19:45 +0800

rOckY is still singing although he promises that in the future, he'll only sing on weekends (Fridays, tops!). Today is a mini-tribute (or insult) to one of his favorite bands back in high school - Vertical Horizon. He sings Send It Up and Shackled. Happy Weekend! http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00020: Pre-Weekend Music

Fri, 03 Aug 2007 06:29:14 +0800

While rOckY said he'd only sing if his neighbors were singing too, he couldn't resist and tried his hand at All I Want by Toad the Wet Sprocket and She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5. He really ought to practice before doing this. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001F: A Musical Episode

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 07:47:01 +0800

rOckY's neighbors are singing their tonedeaf hearts again for a second straight day. Instead of thinking of a new topic, rOckY decided to waste this episode singing Seasons of Love and Wig in a Box. Hope it doesn't offend your ears. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001E: You Can Change the World

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 06:26:43 +0800

rOckY's thoughts have been a little lofty as of late and this is what primarly drove him to talk about being an agent of larger, if not global change and as an individual. You may or may not agree with the concept, but he still feels pretty strongly about it while at the same time he tempers this belief with practicality and the need to really work at things. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001D: Muddy Blogosphere

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 08:18:57 +0800

After a brief spat over one of his blogging mailing lists, rOckY decided to take the time to talk about the state of affairs in the blogosphere. Have we become overly focused on generating revenue that we no longer blog for the sake of expression? http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001C: The Weekend

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 08:05:05 +0800

rOckY had a very good weekend so for today's GeekyCast he just opted to run through the events in anticipation of greater thingfs again. On a side note, he also spent time talking about the new Facebox feature in Mutliply and how it is an interesting addition to the Mutliply set of tools. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001B: Conducting Interviews

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 07:11:05 +0800

rOckY is feeling pretty well rested today and given it's the last working day of the week, he's looking forward to a good weekend as well. His work day ended with an applicant interview and that got him wanting to talk about interviewing strategies today and how different people respond to and interpret interviews. What works for you? http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

0001A: Are You Empathic?

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 05:27:18 +0800

rOckY today talks about empathy and empathic abilities and is wanting to explore this idea with the listeners of these GeekyCasts. Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts here: http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00019: A Brief Political Bit

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:53:53 +0800

rOckY is ticked off that LJ is down and he can't blog on his personal blog. Good thing the Anderson Cooper recap of the CNN/YouTube Debates for the US Democratic Candidates came on TV. This led to a brief discussion of US Politics which quickly segwayed into a look at our own warped political system here in the Philippines. http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00018: Looking at the Week

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:47:43 +0800

rOckY's in a pretty good mood and wanted to keep this GeekyCast light so he just goes today's book adventure while acquiring Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, shows of interest on TV and in the theaters and a belated birthday greeting to an anonymous friend. Have a great week folks! http://geekyguide.blogspot.com/

00017: On Education

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 23:36:02 +0800

rOckY is back from a very relaxing weekend and took the time to record this brief GeekCast amidst massive photo uploads and rather warm weather.

00016: Updates on This and That

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 03:38:04 +0800

rOckY might be out for most of the weekend so there won't be a GeekyCast update tomorrow, July 21, 2007 and possibly Sunday. Today he just goes over a few administrativew updates like the invitation for more bloggers to join the Geeky Guide, today being Evoloterra and about a new bargain bookstore at WalterMart Makati.

00015: About His Book Mania

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 00:05:12 +0800

00014: My Book Collection

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 06:55:26 +0800

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:20:01 +0800

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 21:53:31 +0800

00010: Friday the 13th is a Good Day

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:06:21 +0800

rOckY has never been overly superstitious and so far his Friday the 13th has turned out pretty swell. Today is Embrace Your Geekness Day, so share some love with the nearest geek that you know!
