Along with the quiz, I also bring a piece of strange news about hipsters not recognizing their own kind…hmm. Just an all-fun episode all around. Kick back, try to beat the challengers, and enjoy.

Episode 4 – Highway Star

Welcome to Episode 4 my li’l bits and big bytes.

This week, we are happy to welcome back the team of Cynthia and Stephanie to join me on another episode. I am happy to say that I make a HUGE mistake on this episode, and I’m hoping one of you can identify it and reach out to the podcast on Twitter, Facebook, or via eMail to let us know. There might even be a prize in it for you.

This week’s episode is all about the various technology surrounding cars and the automobile industry. We touch on the various computers in a typical car, the continued evolution of self-driving car technology, and how Google and Waze track traffic delays and provide re-routing instructions.

We also talk about a company telling consumers not to use their product and have our typical face-off in our geek challenge.

Episode 3 – (We’re the) Music Makers

Hey li’l bits and big bytes.

As you might have seen, we took a little bit of a break, but we’re still committed to getting you all the episodes that you crave!

Episode 3 is our one all about how technology has affected the music industry. Nowadays, anyone with the right equipment and software can accomplish a lot all by themselves. The days of requiring a big production house to get your music heard is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

In this episode, we also talk about a certain animal overtaking the lush landscape of a certain South American country thanks to a drug lord with eclectic interests. We also get to see how much our co-hosts squirm in this weeks Geek Trivia challenge.

Episode 2 – Knowledge is King

Hey li’l bits and big bytes! It’s our second episode of Season 2, and we are glad that our co-host Cynthia didn’t get scared off and run screaming into the night.

As many folks like me are preparing to transition their high -schooler into college, I figured that this week would be a good week to talk about the impact of technology in education. Specifically, we take a look at how it has impacted remote educational opportunities, supported students and educators in the field of special education, and enabled parents to provide well-rounded experiences for homeschooled students.

As usual, we also present a challenge via our Do You Even Geek segment, talk about the special ways some prisoners are being treated in our See What Had Happened Was segment, and discuss an event honoring the legendary Stan Lee in our Geek Out segment.

Episode 1 – What You Wearing

Hey li’l bits and big bytes! It’s time for Season 2, and we are so glad to be back, bringing you our first new episode of 2019. We also introduce one of our newest co-hosts Cynthia.

We felt our break was just long enough for us to get through the holidays, take a breather, and find out which island Bevan disappeared to last year. This first episode is all about the ever-growing world of wearables.

We talk all about some of the biggest players in the market, including the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy, and Fitbit series of devices. We go into the ins and outs of each and hopefully give you enough information to make an informed decision in case you are in the market for one of these items, especially as part of a New Year’s resolution.

We also do our usual geek challenge and discuss a upcoming vacation option for the conspiracy theorists of the world.

Hey li’l bits and big bytes! It’s the final episode of Season 1, Number 15.

The Be Bitwise Crew is bittersweet that this is the end of the Season, but we’ve had so much fun. In this episode we go all into home automation.

We go into stringing some technologies together to make your life easier and the usual things you need to be aware of with your devices.

We also do our usual geek challenge and discuss a certain place that is no longer Instagram or Snapchat friendly.

Episode 14 – Internet of Things

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.

Episode 13 – Security

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.

Episode 12 – Tootie Fruity

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.

Episode 11 – Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Hey li’l bits and big bytes!

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.
