Josh returns this week, and of course there are financials to discuss (NVIDIA is making insane money right now), plus Josh's latest burger, Josh's renovated home office, and other Josh-related content.  Where are Josh's boxes, what's in Josh's closet, what are Josh's floors made of, and who handled his 49" monitor while he was away.
Oh, and we also did a show about this week in tech ... those topics are below.

We recorded it early this week, due to some scheduling issues, but we still made a podcast that will live on forever as one of the greatest ever made. If you don't have high standards.  Do take the time to enjoy the discussion on generous Hackers and that your VPN probably sucks.
