We start off this week by discussing the tech gifts we received for Christmas.

We then get into a lengthy discussion of STEM to STEAM, which is an initiative to add the arts to the heart of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Great companies like Apple have been successful because they have been able to combine the arts and the humanities with technology. The arts are also important to learning. If you care about education, STEM and the arts, this is the show for you.

This is a great video on RISD’s STEM to STEAM initiative that recognizes that technology and art are interdependent. RISD President John Maeda talks about the necessity of combining art and design with science, technology, engineering and math.

Technology alone is not enough.

Yes, we’re a few days late with posting our holiday episode. You can blame me and all my travel for that. But it’s a good episode.

First we talk about tech gifts. We’re both into the Kindle and think it will have sold well this holiday season.

Jeremy also discusses how his father somehow ended up with a not-that-new-model Android phone because Jeremy’s father took the advice of his barber over Jeremy.

There is a lot more in this episode, like the new Twitter War and other interesting topics. We hope your holidays went well.
