Hey everyone!

I know I've been quiet for the past month or so - but that's because things have been nuts around here.  Trying to plan a wedding, getting an apartment in order - I've been going nuts!  But we got the studio set up, and you can expect some real shows coming soon with media reviews of I Am Legend, Rock Band, and some other things.

But in the meantime, last week I appeared on the show Dan is on Otaku Generation.  It's a little different than I what I normally do, but I thought at least I would give you something to listen to.

And coming soon - I appear in an episode of Fanboy Hell where we talk Torchwood!

So new content coming soon, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this.  If you did, let me know at 206-338-3942.

Talk to you in a bit!

No regular show this week, guys - there has been so much going on here, I haven't had time to sit down at the mike, except to record an episode of Escape Pod.  But Big Things happened in the last week.  If you missed it on Twitter:

Also - today is Infected Day!  Scott Sigler's Infected hits the stores today (though I know some were able to pick it up early).  I think we are going to pick up our copies tonight - I guess we'll see how we feel.  Muscles have been sore from all the moving we've been doing.

And finally, on a sober note - today marks the year anniversary of the passing of Joe Murphy, when he lost his battle with Leiomeiosarcoma.  I remember Joe - as my favorite voice on Slice of Sci Fi, Michael and Evo's Wingin It, and The Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas.  I never met him, and I have a feeling my life is poorer for it.  So, for this show, I'm playing the tribute episode.  Here are the show notes posted at Give Us a Minute:

These are the reflections, the memories, and the considerations of people from across the country and around the world that called Joe Murphy “friend�…

These are only a few of the lives this one single voice in the podosphere touched. This is a show that may make you laugh, may make you cry, and will give you a look at the soul we all knew for far too brief a time. For those of you contributing to this audio tribute, we at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund thank you.

And when you play the Tribute show, feel free to post the title of your show, where in the world you podcast from, and tag it with “((Title of Your Podcast)) Remembers Joe.�
