In which Alex dolls out baller certifications to the scalatypes crew.

@debasishg and @runarorama chat with us about FP, Scalaz and style guides.

• Northeast Scala Symposium: http://nescala.org/
• Videos are on the website! (at least a few)
• Miles Sabin's Shapeless talk: http://youtu.be/GDbNxL8bqkY
• Unfortunately the talk where Daniel disagrees with all magnates of computer science history was not recorded :(  However, it was enjoyable and you should invite him to your hometown to give it.
• Note on audio quality:  This episode caused more issues than most, thanks to maladjusted microphone settings when we finally did record combined with suprisingly quiet folks in the audience.   We apologize if it's hard to hear, but we did our best!

In which the heros find themselves discussing:

• Scala on Android
• Scala macros
• Scala Automatic Resource Management
• Daniel's theories on Life, Love and sound typing.

#legendofklang gets the #spiewakeffect

This is the episode in which we find out Daniel's secret love for Windows 7, how elegant a small library by dick wall can be, and that Yuvi thinks patents are awesome (at least, hardware patents have potential there).
