MetaTalks this week is a 3.5 hour long discussion that ranges from Marriage to High School Life to Soccer gangs and then takes a couple of sharp turns for some good old Meta discussions ranging from our cognitive surplus to the delusions of online relationships. 

~Current Conversation:
Us: Meaningless Traditions, Final Fantasy XIV, Zero Inbox, Playing with Fire, Baseball (ick), Pretty in Pink= American High School Life?, The Firm (not the crappy Tom Cruise one), and Favre vs Rooney.

Them: Cognitive Surplus, What happens to idle minds, what are we drawn to, where are we dumping this suprlus now? are most of us just bottling it up?

After a long break, MetaTalks returns with Alachia and Jeppy and a new format to the show. We play catch-up and discuss everything from depression to learning French to the cutest dog in the world to American Football to this fall's boob tube shows to the fallacies of Social Networking.

~Current Conversation:
Us: Life as a Nutter, Je ne parle pas français, Daisy, American Football from a British Fan, and 1x01s TV shows

Them: The delusions and illusions of social networking and friendships. Is it just me or do people really not want to be social?

You: Nothing yet! Hopefully something next week!
