Podcast News & Updates
If you haven't heard, we've published all of our episodes to our YouTube Channel, and I've started uploading & organizing other nonsense there.

I also published the first of "Larry's Brainstorms" to our patrons and streamlined a few more workflows for things like that, making it easier for me to keep it fresh going forward, if you will.

Don't Believe the Hate
Please, whatever you do, whatever you believe, whoever you are, please do not believe the hate...and ignore the hype.  We're all in this together.

We are the government.  We are the police.  We are the politicians.  Stop disassociating, and become part of the solution, if you're that passionate.  Get involved, peacefully.

Or not.  Whatever.  I'll be wishing you all the best either way.  Make it a great day my friends!
