  1. Thanks for the compliments, guys, but until someone pays me my regular rates for producing a podcast, you’ll have to settle for occasional contributions.

    For those who just can’t get enough, however, I’ve posted my presentation from Podcamp SoCal on the Asylum site: http://www.podcastasylum.com/reports/.
