Sorry! Unavoidable scheduling conflicts have kept us away from out weekly passion, recording this podcast for you. In lieu of listening to our show this week,  I’d like to direct you to take a gander at another very cool tech podcast I recently discovered, Tech Snark. They have been called by fellow TDD listeners as the all-female version of The Drill Down, which we take as an enormous compliment. They put on a great show. Give ‘em a listen!
