TechNewsRadio.com hopes everyone has been having a great summer!  We just got back from a two week vacation and getting back into the swing of things.  The good news is that podcast #301 and #302 are done but just need some post production.  Podcast #303 is ready to record and then post.  So ... look for them sooner than later.

To make up for the delay.  FriendsInTech.com has gotten listeners of our shows a $10 off coupon code (FIT92006) that is good on any SCOTTEVEST long sleeve performance t-shirt but it expires on 10Sep06.  I've been putting this t-shirt through the paces the last three weeks both running and biking, and I have to say I'm impressed.
