Here is episode 15. There was a lot to cover in this episode. Jim and I were in discussion mode, so be prepared to sit down for a while longer than normal this time. Jim and I were also in a joking mood and consequently cracked ourselves up on this episode, so enjoy the laughter and comedy at a fellow human’s expense.
BTW, I am a milestone guy, and any time a “0″ or a “5″ is at the end of the episode number, I think it is cool. So 15 is a cool number to me. On to the show notes.
