Hey li’l bits and big bytes! We are up to our penultimate episode of Season 1, Number 14.
The Be Bitwise Crew is still going strong and having fun. This episode goes a little more in-depth as we discuss all the gadgetry that can become Internet-enabled. As usual we lay out the warnings to make sure you know the caveats of having these empowered devices. Additionally, we lay out some examples of some cool stuff that you can partake in, like interactive pet devices, kitchen-related tech, and luggage. Unfortunately, I am sad to report that the BlueSmart Luggage company featured in Jen’s segment has gone out of business due to restrictions on the battery sizes allowed in luggage.
We also take time to discuss an issue that some folks run into when signing up for social media and I challenge the team with a specially-written nerd/geek rom-com challenge. Let us know how you do as you play along.

Hey li’l bits and big bytes! Here we are at lucky number 13
Hey, the gang is back together, in person. In this episode, we talk about security and how to stay vigilant while enjoying the amazing place that is the Internet. We get a little more technical than usual, but it’s all to help you out. There is a huge market out there for IT folks who understand how to be more secure, so pay attention if you want to move into this great profession.
We also take time to discuss a quirky promotion done by a minor league team in Alabama. We’ll leave it up to you to opine whether you think it’s cheeky or insulting.

Hey li’l bits and big bytes! Looks like we’ve reached a dozen of these episodes, now.
In this one, we go all into fruit-named tech besides Apple. At some point in the future, we will probably go into the battle that was Apple versus Microsoft versus IBM. The Jen-abler gives us a joke to check out and clues us in to some game and peripheral related tech, Bevan gets us all excited about a certain technology named after a flavored dessert, and Alondo keeps you guessing while giving kudos to one of the stalwarts of the smartphone industry. We also get a chance to recognize a special birthday and hear about the spooky life of Jenny McCarthy.

It’s Episode 11, and this week we are all about searching. It’s something we all take for granted, but there’s a lot more to it that you think.
As per usual, we crack ourselves up laughing at our own inside jokes then investigate a crime of WiFi theft(???), talk about spiders and webs and crawlers, provide warnings to keep you safe while “googling”, and recommend some cool places to visit on the internet.

I’m traveling this weekend, and unfortunately, I didn’t get enough downtime to upload Episode 11. I promise that as soon as I get back to the studio, I will get it published.
In the meantime, don’t forget to learn something new everyday.
Welcome to Episode 10, and this week we are presenting some of our best and funniest moments so we can all enjoy the inside jokes that we love to laugh at.
This go around, we revisit the first appearance of the ice cream man, talk about the benefits of cockroach milk, hear about crow attacks, discuss my amazing Bevan bank account hacking skills, learn about Jen’s stalking capabilities, and get our heads wrapped around Russian showering recommendations.

We’re up to Episode 9, which is oh so fine, and the purpose of this week’s show is to give you the skinny on the podcast itself – why it got started and the steps to get up and running.
In this episode, we handle things a little differently. This episode talks about a new plastic surgery trend, has a quiz challenging what technology predates each other, and geeks out over the slate of highest-grossing movies this year (so far).

We’re up to Episode 8, and the topic of this week’s show are the prying eyes that might be watching you in the field of technology – so watch out!
In this episode, we talk about how those targeted ads actually show up in your Facebook feed (hint: it’s not by talking into your microphone), how easy it can be to snoop and stalk via Facebook, and the implementation of a government-run social media credit system . We also talk about how some companies aren’t using A.I. as they say they are.

We’re at lucky number 7, and this time we’re talking about that money!
In this episode, we get all up into internet banking, the amount of internet fraud in the world, and we take time to demystify cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Along the way, we revisit some thoughts about our friend the I.C.M. and have a great laugh at the expense of Russian water systems. As usual, lot of laughs and fun.

We’re at Episode 6, and this time we are getting into some tech “oops”es…and in line with the episode topic, I commit my own “oops” and incorrectly recall that Ramadan occurs in April, when in actuality, it starts in late May. Oops!
In this episode, we talk about video technologies, the precursor to Netflix, AOL (Jen’s favorite internet service provider), QR Codes, and various other failures.
As an aside, I always try to do my best to define any acronyms that are mentioned each episode, but I missed one. An “API” is an application programming interface. It’s purpose is to allow another program to have access to functions built into a piece of software. I’m making a note to discuss this further in my series on programming (a limited series that will be coming soon, so stay tuned).
