DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame.

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks for July 31st 2015. I am Jason DeFilippo. And I am, as of yesterday,

0:26.0

the currently under-employed Brian Schultmeister. What happened, Brian? Well, that wonderful, awesome project

0:31.3

that I've been working on for the past seven to eight months has sadly collapsed and will not be
