Geek Of All Trades #102 Show Notes

Geek of All Trades logoGeek of all Trades Episode #102: War of the Worlds tribute
Wherein Martians invade the podcast.

(NOTE: This episode was intended to drop early enough to actually listen to on Halloween. Audacity had other ideas, crashing during a save and wiping our several hours of editing despite having been saving regularly. Fortunately, I'd saved the raw recording in a separate location, but recovering still took time.)

(Note 2: Oops, forgot to post this here *g*. Episode 103 coming soon...)
