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,

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

0:31.3
