Notes from the Geek:
Seriously, the beards outnumbered the non-beards in the studio this week. Good news: we will have video of the shows on TV soon, and UStreaming the recording of the show may happen in the not-too-distant future. Things are happening!

Hey guys. Love the show. I haven’t listened for a while, but it’s gotten really good. You sound better than most radio shows I listen to. Good work!
Thanks, JVC! Maybe we’ll be able to work out a Skype thing some time and have you back on. Love to have you talk about tech news.
