170. Berry pickin'

We are even more directionless than usual here, and we’re hoping the resulting unplanned conversations about the nature of light and heat, about the use of cookies and the practice of asking whether they’re acceptable, and about the concept of dark patterns in web design are both entertaining and educational. We also get to enjoy sharing listener mail with you, do a bunch of KJ’s Snappers, and talk about approaches to berry picking. Finally we receive a Barbie challenge from special Guest Susinn of Vancouver. So centre your chi, picture a limpid pool deep in a silent forest, and put on some bug spray: it’s the Shed Dogs! Links: Shed Dogs; the room temperature superconductor was not reproducible, alas; Fred Savage and Deadpool disagree over Nickelback; Vancouver’s Pride Parade; the Barbie trailer; Carlos of Podstatus.Theme music is Escaping like Indiana Jones by Komiku, with permission.
