The 404 328: Where we’re gonna live to 200

Steve Guttenberg, the Audiophiliac, joins the show today to talk about the coming “singularity.”

For those of you not from the future, the “singularity” is a concept from Raymond Kurzweil’s book “The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology.” According to him, human beings will eventually live forever because of nano-machines that will repair our bodies and miracle drugs. That’s about as deep as the show gets today. Again, you don’t really want us to be discussing the ever-increasing amounts of entropy in the universe.

Steve is generally disappointed with the quality of the sound systems at the New York auto show. You’d expect that a $200,000 Bentley would have pretty great speakers, but you’d be wrong.

Also on today’s show, we’ve got more Twitter stories: 1) Justin is attempting to bring back the $5-dollar Italian BMT from Subway with the world’s first Twitition (that’s Twitter + petition); 2) Post Secret meets Twitter with SecretTweet.com. Honestly, it’s one of the most depressing Web sites ever. Kind of like a not-funny fmylife.com.

Finally, it’s the weekend, so we know you have the time. Be sure to send in your call backs! We need them!
