Ramblings...The Podcast!

I decided to try my hand at the daily podcast thing by recording a talk during my commute. I will mainly be posting the episodes at my www.penslinger.com site as that is my podcasting hub, but I might do a weekly post here with the current episodes.

If you're RSS-savvy you can subscribe to my Meta Feed site to get all of the podcast goodness delivered auto-magically to you.

This first episode is a bit rough. It was raining and it turns out my headset mic wasn't working which makes for some extra noise. I promise it will get better!
