For those wondering what is going on, I didnt podcast last week because I was in San Francisco most of the week.  A show for last friday was prepped but never recorded.  I will likely record it today and go ahead and release it even though its almost a week old.

Since I am nearly a week behind, I am going to do something a bit different for this week.  I will do a show tomorrow (Friday) that will be more of a roundup of news from the entire week rather than just one day.  I will also be posting multiple cool links of the day to make up for the days that were missed.  I will also be trying to do a Global Geek News podcast by weeks end as well for those interested in checking that out.

Starting next week, thing will be back to normal.  I will also be introducing a new feature next week.  Not only will there be a cool link of the day, but a bargain of the day.  Every day, I will be posting a link to a bargain for a random tech product.  Everything from cheap hard drives to cheap GPS units, you will get a link to something cool that you might need but at a price that will save you money compared to getting it somewhere else.  This of course is also more incentive to visit the website and comment on the show
