The flat hierarchies of talk shows are about as subversive as NYC 
Democrats smoking dope. But count us out! We won't produce a talk 
show. Nope. We produce a TAUGSHOW! Which means: we dig it. Our guests 
are geeks, heretics, and other coevals. A joyful bucket full of good 
clean fanaticism, crisis, language, culture, self-content, identity, 
utopia, mania and despair, condensed into the well known cultural 
technique of a prime time TV show.
[taugen; Viennese slang: to dig/love/adore something]

+++Guests+++

Vik Olliver: Nanotechnology and RepRap:
Vik Olliver is a 40-something longhair software developer, artist and 
volunteer firefighter who lives with his family (wife Suz, daughters 
Kate and Tamara) and many cats in the Waitakere Rainforest in New 
Zealand. Currently he is one of the driving forces of the RepRap 
Project (http://reprap.org/); which aims to create the first 
practical and programmable self-replicating machine.

Adia Martin: Fashion, Technology and Femal Sovereignty:
Adia Martin is a New York ex-patriate currently residing between 
Vienna and London. Having spent the past ten years of her life 
working in various different areas of the fashion industry, her 
primary concentration has always found its way back towards a 
historical foundation. Adia looks at how the change in the roles of 
women in society directly influenced fashion styles, tastes, and 
necessities. Because the 20th Century created some of the most rapid 
and significant evolutions in recorded history, it becomes easier to 
recognize how quickly what we wear is directly correlated to what we do.

Michael Bauer: 310 Chinese LED Throwies: Instantaneous beauty and 
dynamic collaborative pieces of artwork. What else is there to ask for?

+++Regulars+++
In this month's "Gorgeous Wordz " column, Evelyn Fuerlinger will talk
