Doc Pop interview with One Minute News and others

"This is enough for me to have future shock: there is a group of programmer-geek-types who are rapping...about geek things.

Even podcasting and videoblogging.

They have formed a community on the Internet called NerdCore, and I learned at CES they have groupies.Ã‚ A lot of them!Ã‚ Nerds around the world, join the movement!Ã‚ And Doctor Popular is their fearless leader and a super cool guy.

We had to do this interview in the bathroom of a CES party because the party was, well, raging with NerdCore-ites and their female fans...:) And a big thank you to the fantabulous Bill Streeter for some truly excellent shooting of this video."

"We recently found ourselves in Las Vegas for the ginormous annual Consumer Electronics Show. Spanning several massive floors in several massive buildings, this is the event for all things gadgets, geek and just plain wtf? You've already heard about the 100"+ HD plasma displays, the Blu-Ray disc players, the portable 1TB disk drives. So rather than waste your time rehashing all that, we thought we'd have Irina take you on a tour of some of the more obscure finds at CES."

Here is a clip of Karl at Podtech's BlogHaus. This was perhaps his best performance of the entire trip too.

yT Cracker's set from BlogHaus. Btw, yT was a dope dude. He was one of the very few people that introduced themselves and said hi. Plus, his performance at DivX was really dope.

At the DivX booth right now...

Nerdcore hip hop is in effect behind me. Specifically the surprisingly sober Hi-C is working through some technically difficulties.

Left the bay area early yester-mornin'. Road trippin' with two Stanford studends who like McDonalds a lot. I had runny poop.

Funniest moment?

John- "Mapquest says 'exit left on 42B'."

Paul- "42B or 42 not to 'b'?"

Doc- "That is the ultimate question to Life, The Universe, and Everything. Zang!"
