A couple of days ago I recorded a video interview with the Fourcast podcast<\/a>, where four people sit around and predict the future. It was a lot of fun — we talked about beaming energy, world governments, Firefly, colonizing the Moon, and BBQs. Seriously. <\/p>

You can download the MP3 directly<\/a>, and they posted the whole video to YouTube<\/a>. <\/p>

Or you can watch it right here from the comfort of your monitor: <\/p>

A few notes:<\/p>

1) I’m not sure I was correct about Tesla coils, but they do seem to be a bad way to transmit energy.<\/p>

2) It’s true, I still haven’t seen \"Avatar\".<\/p>

3) Here’s the exoplanet advance<\/a> I mentioned. I also mentioned Kepler<\/a>.<\/p>

4) I didn’t want to get into specifics on the religion topic (at the 24 – 27 minute mark) because this wasn’t the place, but if you take a look over at the Middle East and still disagree with me, well, I can’t help ya.<\/p>

5) Yes, that’s Stewie on my wall. My wife gave me that poster a couple of years ago. Victory is mine!<\/strong><\/p>

My thanks to the guys at Fourcast for letting me spew unfettered misinformation*<\/a><\/sup> for an hour. It was fun!<\/p>

<\/a><\/p>

*<\/sup> \"Unfettered Misinformation\" is my George Hrab<\/a> cover band.<\/em>
