I Goofed!!

Sorry for any inconvienence I may have caused by putting the wron link in the blog entry to the MP3. I put the wrong date as the name of the file. The only time you would have found the error is if you clicked the link. I forgot to test it before I went to bed last night. Anyway. It's fixed. Enjoy!

If it's tech, I'm there.

Well it has been a great week this week. I have been accepted as a member of Techpodcasts.com. Soon you will be seeing my podcast information on the techpodcasts.com website and hopefully, the listener base will expand and provide me and you, the listener, with more great podcasts.

To celebrate, I will be going to Disneyland... we, O.K., so the wife had that booked several months in advance, but the membership cam at tjust the right time.

Alright, I know I promised you a podcast on Home Automation, and it is coming. This weekend I am going to record and release it, so stand by. I have some nifty gadgets and a surprise rant too.
