NewGen Tech  

Hey guys! We are New Gen Tech: Host Christian Mudgett, co-host Danny Holland and me as the weekend gadget wrap-up girl Joyce Solano.  We are 3 next generation 'movers and shakers' who are trying to crack the code around the convergence of tech and pop culture and its effect on our Millenial lives.  Pop culture, for us, is really the aesthetic aspect of "cool and relevant" tech.  We find the harmony between tech form and function and show how it relates to our constantly evolving lives..

To actually prove how awesome you are and show what great purchasing smug'ness you have, :), follow http://delicious-monster.com/ to organize your life into everything iTunes-esque with Delicious Library 2. Give it a try with the free trial version to see if you like it.  Our dear co-host Danny Holland uses Delicious Library 2 to woo potential ladies over.  He ritualistically goes to Borders, scans books in Mandarin and Russian into the program, and proceeds to take his laptop to the closest dive-bar.  There, he shows off his penchant for foreign novels to win the gals at the bar...tell us if you are doing anything cool with the app.
After the ill fated run of the Microsoft Jerry Seinfeld ads:

Microsoft steps into another realm with the "I'm a PC" ads, see it here.

In short, great turnaround Bill!  All Seinfeld aside, we can't ignore the ultimate irony in the fact that the Microsoft ads were actually made on a Mac  (http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/09/19/microsofts-im-a-pc-ads-created-on-macs/)  Does this tickle your funny bone as much as ours?

Joyce Solano, our every-gitty weekend wrap-up girl, takes us through a tour of  TechCrunch 50, where 52 actual companies launched and competed for a cool 50K.

Your comments, questions, gripes, and kvetches are always welcomed. Oh, and don't forget to listen to our latest episode of New Gen Tech on BlogTalkradio!

We speak to Joyce Solano, who might be the sweetest person alive. She discusses tech crunch 50 and the hits and misses...Also, the new Microsoft ads with a Mr. Jerry Seinfield-and how they left in a blink of the eye - enjoy
