Practical Principals

We had some major audio problems in our recording so I had to do a lot of post-production to get it to sound “right.” Long-time listeners will notice something missing in the last second or two of the show…

Delayed a week after we recorded it due to life and work getting in the way of editing and posting, Melinda and I are proud to present a geekier episode of PP where we talk about the 22 tech tools that help improve our work and personal lives.

Best of all? We get through all of them in less than 44 minutes.

Enjoy!

Melinda and I were invited to be on the LIVE! SEEDlings webcast this past Thursday. If you missed it (and why would you?), the show has been posted as a podcast and the audio is available here.

It was a great time (as you’ll hear!) and I look forward to doing it again!
