Now that we've established who Sharpe is we can get him into all kinds of fun. Fun like dealing with Sir Henry Simmerson. Simmerson is played expertly by Michael Cochrane. As an aside, Michael Cochrane usually play
Yes, I know on 200 a Day, and Six Million and Black Sheep I try to come up with a clever title. It's harder here... They're all named 'Sharpe's something or other'... 'Eyes down'. The fact that the Chosen Men are b
Ken and I are taking a break from our usual tech/history/sci fi ben and doing a deep dive into the historical fiction tv series Sharpe. We're going to watch all 18 episodes and talk about them, you know, like if they wer
It's been a year since Putin started his illegal invasion of Ukraine. We here at TC are staunchly pro democracy and pro Ukraine. I wonder how people feel about this in Russia? We could ask Russian. So we did. Danii
It's Canadian National Day of Podcasting! It's also me and Ken. Hey, remember the occupation of Ottawa? Remember the Emergencies Act? Well the EA requires a commission be struck to look into the use of
We're back. Well, Ken was for a bit, then there was a LIBRARY EMERGENCY!! Gee, what'll we talk about? How about Putin's war of choice in Ukraine? Putin knows little of the operational. art. Deception is key. This g
It's been a heck of a few days. The Queen died. The Russians are rushin' away (sorry...) But a couple of weeks ago Mikhail Gorbachev died. Hey wait, now that's TC material. You know what else? I KNOW AN ACTUAL RUSS
It's another in our ongoing coverage of Putin's war in Ukraine. Lots of weapons are coming in. Lots of war crimes are happening. We talked a bit about the history of war crimes. How can you get someone to do something ev
This one is all about propaganda. Of course we've been both thinking about the topic ever since Russia invaded Ukraine. Does Putin actually believe his own propaganda? Are we swayed by propaganda (of course we are). I've
Hey it's us! Gee, what's been in the news? Maybe the Soviet Russian invasion of Ukraine? Is this a reboot of 1918 or 1938? (With credit to @docpinko). We think it's more like 1918. What is Russia's end
We recorded this one at around 7pm EST. Some polls are closed, some are open, some people are still in line. I conducted a completely (scientifically) useless twitter poll. Many of our US friends voted
Originally Ken and I were going to hop on Skype and talk about reopening economies. Then, the murder of George Floyd happened. So, we couldn't not talk about that. So we did. Though, really, we agree that whi
Actual t shirt that I'm wearing as I type this We're back, and better than ever. Oh and there's a plague and we're all working from home. Also, Ken is now in entirely different city, so we're doing this over Skype
Live from MMPR 2019, it's Tangential Convergence! Yeah, so I'm typing this up on the Sunday before we all meetup for the goodbye breakfast of MMPR. It was good fun. It was Ken's first TC, and Tom's as well. We talked abo
Hey look, it's us! Also, we streamed this one live. Sorta cool right? Of course we peaked at three listeners, still... Evil Bond villain Elon Musk launched a bunch of satellites. It's pretty crazy. Spac
OK, we're back after a long hiatus. Ken has merged with a new kidney, and he's doing much better thank you. We started out by talking about the SNC Lavalin affair here in Canada at the request of friend of the show, Tom
Hey, we're back! If anything gets us back to talking it is overreach by a company with a bit of copyright! I'm using too many exclamation points! So, a guy who had bought a movie from Apple went to re download his purcha
Yup, we're back. Don't worry, we just took a little break. So, today is Isabelle's birthday, so there's that. Our topic though, is not birthdays, but, the recent fine the European Union has slapped on Google . &nbs
Everyone sing along. It's Tom Merritt's birthday. Today, or tonight really, we're tackling a topic we've spoken of before, cloud computing. Yeah, that was back in episode 12, that file is long gone.... Today
