Episode 2 of my side project with Matt of Primary & Secondary is up!

This is kept separate as it's really a different thing but it's still only possible due to Patreon support.

You can watch it here, or on Vimeo, or you can subscribe to it as a podcast via multiple methods: iTunes, etc.

Good rantz inside.

I plan on soliciting Q&A for this at our $5 perk level and above in the near future for those of you who are interested, right here, no other Patreon stuff, just an added benefit.

1:45 in and Karl starts talking about the reptilian overlords, this is going to be fun.

Actually, I quite enjoyed it (only question was over definition of API - or was that part I). About 4 years ago, I was visiting my family (I have nieces and nephews) over Easter and the whole younger generation was called to a conference by their parents. I was pushed in front of them and ask to deliver a death-knell warning to the young'ens about the dangers of using Facebook, etc. I especially warned them off using "apps" connected with Facebook, tracking cookies, giving personal information in games/surveys, using the Chrome browser, etc. Just yesterday my sister reminded me of it, and remarked that much of what I'd warned is now in the public realm (as Karl says, it was known back then in tech circles). I continue to be totally staggered for what people will do to get something "free" - esp in the US, but it's true elsewhere. Anyway, good topic, Karl. One thing you can surprise people with (talking about apps having different security permissions than Safari) is with Google maps, that tracks you everywhere you go with their "Timeline" feature.

Indeed, excellent topic! Looking forward to "the banks thing".
