Computer America Radio Show

Last night I was a guest on the live, nationally syndicated, Computer America radio show. The show is hosted by Craig Crossman and Carey Holzman. Craig was off and I was on with Carey. It was a lot of fun. Carey invited me to stay for the second hour and co-host with him while we interviewed the CEO of Dreamauthentics. I was invited back to co-host again with Carey. I will keep you all informed when we work out the schedule. A very special THANK YOU to Barbra for making this possible.

(Unfortunately they were having problems recording the audio stream. If it does become available, I will post the link.)

Podcast Alley – I appreciate everyone that is attempting to vote for the podcast. It seems that on 02/01/07, they upgraded their servers, but some ISPs are still displaying the ‘Servers are moving’ graphic. I can reach the site on Verizon but not from AT&T.; DNS is yielding the same IP address from both ISPs. Problem seems to be fixed now – 02/04/07.

Computer America – It looks like I will be joining Carey Holzman as his guest on the Computer America Show, Friday night, 02/09/07, 7p Pacific, 10p Eastern time.
