The reports of my demise…

Brad — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:30:32 +0000

…have been greatly exaggerated.

Sorry I haven’t podcasted in a while. Big reason has been my normal commute (train ride 8 miles to downtown) has turned into a 25 mile one-way commute involving a combination of car, train and bus. This has been eating into my evenings more than I would like.

I will probably be blogging more often so I can keep you updated on my life. (I am actually typing this from my iPhone during my morning commute) Look for a new blog only site soon. You can also follow me on Twitter.

As for a new podcast, um, hopefully this week?
