My sporadic slice-of-life nonsense show I've been doing since 2005 from wherever I happen to be. You'd think I'd have a better tagline by now!
Been on hiatus since 2010, but hope to pick it up again soon.
Rubenerd Show Milestone (first phone message left), hard disk space woes, an impromptu Ruben's Review (surviving Lynx BodySpray), and a tech style Ruben's Review (Samsung SyncMaster 910T).

Reactions to the music-free episodes, Ruben's bad luck with tech (old iPod, V3 RAZR and MacBook Pro), the iBook which has never let down, the Telecom New Zealand resignation, The Top 5 (signs it's too cold!), and an AppleCare centre adventure (warranty confusion).

Recorded by a very tired Ruben at 5:55am! Talking about time travel, timezones, Whole Wheat Radio morning rants, life advice from Jim Kloss, flawed star ratings and what time of day my brain switches on... hint: it's not on yet!
