Future Sci Chat #6: Climate Change

We talked this week about causes of climate change, ways to get carbon out of our atmosphere and why throwing nuclear waste into a volcano might make a better action movie supervillain scheme than climate change solution! Hope you like it.

If you want to know more about carbon sequestration, or the IPCC, Wikipedia has a ton more information than we could cover!

Future Tech Chat #20: Music

This week on Future Chat featured a special guest musician, the great +Damien Broomes! He's a member of +Sons of Pluto, and we discussed some of his experiences with live shows and technology triumphs and malfunctions. We also talked about streaming music vs. downloading or buying CDs, the resurgence of vinyl records, and how concerts have evolved over the years as music technology improves. We also touched on the music piracy discussion from the point of view of a young artist trying to break into the music industry.

There's a lot of technology that goes into the music we all love, and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

You can learn more about Damien and Sons of Pluto at http://sonsofpluto.com.
