I’m from Denmark, and the only reason I know of TechTV is this clip:

At least geek style never changes. Could have been from the 1960s.

@ Jason

The temperatures and methods involved are relevant.

Note that this is still why A: improperly frozen meat is tough and B: it’s not recommended to refreeze anything (well, okay, that’s part of the reason)

Phil,

You say that Austin Powers would be a pile of goo b/c of the expanding ice rupturing his cells. How come that doesn’t happen to frozen meat?

As far as looks go, he could pass for Jared. But his voice made him sound like the annoying waiter guy in ‘Office Space’.

What’s “Space Fungus?” Reminds me of an article I once read doing research for a nutritional study, “A Fungus Among Us.” Which i think would make a pretty good title for a Sci-Fi flick.

Would You_Tube have the rest of these shows. BTW after I picked myself up off the floor, I really enjoyed it. (I still think he could pass for Jared, though.)

By the way, that was a fun little video. Nothing new, since it’s all been covered on this website, but it’s always fun seeing & hearing the man behind the words!

“For what it’s worth, I still have that shirt.”

Hey, cool, another guy who has shirts from many years ago… most of my wardrobe is about a decade old, and I actually have some vintage stuff from the 1980′s stored away someplace. (Time to clean out the storage place…)

I thought Chris was funny — it’s slapstick. Not to everyone’s taste I suppose, but I liked it. That’s one reason I wanted to come back on the show; I thought we played off each other well. I had a lot of fun going on, but they always wanted me on a Thursday, which kinda sucked. The filming was from 2 – 3 p.m., and then I had to drive back north from the San Francisco studio. In SF, rush hour on Thursday starts at 2, so I always faced a two hour drive (it should have been about 1). Still, it was always a blast. I wish I could find tapes of the other three segments.

…Britney Spears does Quantum Physics? Wait, what was that about?

Great video!

Good comment on the micro G crystals in the nickel/iron. I read that sword smiths sought out such fine metal to create their weapons. Sky Iron, I think it was called,,,

A single asteroid like that which formed Beringer Crater could build a lot of space based real estate. 100 meters in diameter?
Wow! Dot’s a heavy space ball,,,or actually,,,massive,,,

Good show, Phil!

Definitely did not talk too fast.
Phil, you are very effective at delivering a lot of info quickly, and with humor, without being an over emphatic spastic loon.

How annoying was Chris Pirillo? I hate it when clever people pretend they are stupid.

Another thing – Phil looks as if he doesn’t age. In fact he looks younger now.

What a guy!!!

Woot Phil! I had a feeling you were a Tech TV fan. Now that all the old Tech TV folks have moved on to IPTV (see Revision3.com, or dl.tv for example) you should see about guest hosting one of those shows.

I’d think that the folks hosting Tekzilla, or dl.tv, would love to have you on. Hmm, maybe I should e-mail them about getting an interview with you.

Viva la tech! Viva la science!

Uhhhh no. Please. No. Okay. I’m having a nightmare. *Michael slaps head. hard. Again. Harder.

Oh God it’s real. Hey. That guy looks kind of like Jared, the Subway guy!
