Pure Storage, The Penguicon Recap, Recorded Live at Penguicon on Ep. 89 of IT in the D

Well … we’ve had smoother running episodes, that’s for sure…but Episode 89 of our live weekly broadcast is in the books.

PODCAST: ComiqueCon, The Detroit Bus Company And Folkteller On IT In The D

Ed. Note: IT in the D is one of Detroit’s most-listened podcasts with more than 150,000 downloads an episode (and counting!). The networking group, after being in existence for years, started this podcast. It’s funny, we’re regular guests, and they do a neat job of highlighting what’s going on with admittedly a geeky flavor. You will find them in our Podcasts category going forward. Here’s Dave with the description. Episode 81 of our weekly broadcast is in the rear view mirror, and it was d...

These Memes Capture The Frustration Of Detroit Lions Fans

The 24-20 loss of the Detroit Lions against the Dallas Cowboys was painful for a lot of reasons, and the internet has lit up with some pretty funny memes to vent their frustration. Check them out and add your own in the comments or on our Facebook page and we could add yours! Frustration of over how Ndamukong Suh was treated…  Those first few were from the IT in the D fan page…  Referees also are a theme… (Above from our fan page from Mark Whelan) The one above...

Don't Like The Change Coming To Detroit? Get Involved

“The city needs the suburbs…and, like it or not…the suburbs need the city.” – Me, almost four years ago Before I even clicked “publish” on this one, I knew people are going to get upset about it. Don’t care. Just like every Don’t Be That Guy article we over at IT in the D ever published or ever will publish, if you get upset about it … good.  However, make sure you’re getting angry for the right reasons, and read The Cracker Barrel Conundrum before you fire off any reply or commentary....

PODCAST: Jack Olson, Michipreneur and Patronicity on IT in the D Ep. 64

IT in the D, Episode 64. Also known as “Dave completely nerds out beyond all ability to recover.” Why? Because we had Jack Olson in-studio with us, that’s why.  And if you don’t know why that triggered a major nerding out, then you might as well just completely avoid segments two and three of this one because it’s all nerd, all the time. We also ran long, with a full fifth segment as we talked with Amanda Lewan and Ebrahim Varachia. Amanda’s been on our show a couple of times in the past, t...

PODCAST: Motor City Drone Co, RhinoCoders and Zabka Day on IT in the D Ep. 63

We’ve been looking forward to this episode for a while now. We were joined in-studio by Mike from Motor City Drone Co. Yes, a company right here in the area that makes drones, one of our favorite topics. Also joining us were Matt and Jon from RhinoCoders, a great program focused on getting children more involved and engaged with technology in the best way possible – by diving in and getting hands-on with it. Just like always, our first segment was all about some of the news and events that...

IT in the D, Episode 62, also known as “have you tried putting a pickle in that?” Listen, that’ll make sense, honest. We’re joined by Mark Larson from Falling Down Beer Company, along with Courtney Ochab and Ian Burk from Detroit Beer Press. Great conversations. Sure, mostly about beer, but also about a whole variety of topics as well.
