Here’s the latest installment of the podcast.  Jim Broome talks about some of the BH / DC talks he was interested in and rubs in the fact that I didn’t get to go (he also rubs in the fact that he was in Hawaii last week – thanks Jim).

We get some closure on the Dan Kaminsky / DNS issue (well, it was closure for us anyway).

We talk a little about Alan Shimel’s adventures in pwnage.  We are not giving any details about the issue, but we give the big guy a little sympathy and some major props for his renewed sense of security importance and writing about the whole thing so we can all see how the process doesn’t work.

Then Jim busts into his favorite two segments.  One is the Geek Toy segment, where he talks about the SanDisk Sansa TakeTV device.  Very cool stuff for the traveler.  And the other segment is the Consultant’s Corner, where Jim gives some advice for writing up and presenting an executive outbrief for a project.

The rest of the podcast is just general bantering and virtually poking each other in the ribs.  We had fun with this one.  Leave some comments on what you think.  We’ll discuss some of them in the next podcast.

Music for this podcast is:

• Digital Breaks – “Therapy”
• Digital Droo – “Minor Things”
• Laika Cres – “Miles and Miles”
