Although good yet it was not as good as the other shows. I think if questions from the mailbag are answered they should have a limited time to answer each question and then move on to the next question. Somehow a lot of time is wasted on one or two questions and it drags on.

Awesome show guys! as a very new freelancer, and a web-developer for a fortune 500 engineering firm, I am constantly researching these topics, but hearing them discussed brings much needed new light. Thanks again

CW: Alas, after the show was complete, we talked about how we were all out of sorts. I appreciate the candid thoughts and thanks for listening!

While listening to the podcast, I was working on a due-today project with my client over Skype. I heard the little ‘bwip!’ of a new message, and spent the next 10 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn’t find the message or why Skype was malfunctioning before realizing it was just in the podcast.
Whoops.

LOL! I heard the Skype ‘bwip’ too and thought the same thing. Isn’t it odd how we have become so tuned into tech sounds that they make us react so suddenly? My dryer beeping sounds just like one of the sounds on Team Fortress 2.

Coming to grips with time and space: I was caught up with the mini-drama of “getting clues about Dickie” and was later intrigued to see what Von is all about (lo and behold, his pic has been on his blog all along, but without the mystery of “Oooh, what does Von look like??” I never too notice!
Anyhow, it was disappointing to hear that Von had removed his “scary pic” during the recording of the podcast, and I was doubly disappointed to remember that all this actually happened a few weeks ago!
Keep up the great show.
