Well, today I started doing a very VERY minor update to the site. Many of our listeners are asking how they can make sure we see their tags. Well I added a major bookmark so anyone can see how to do so. So remember — Keep on Tagging “Dogear-Nation”. also check out our Coffee Mugs and Tea Shirts. Help support the Dogear-Nation guys:

We’ve had lots of discussions, emails, and a few posts on the redesign of the site. It may take a bit of time (lots of day job activities in the way), but we will be creating a major overhaul of the site. Watch this space!

Michael and Michael share the same space, hoping that Matt will join, but once again day job responsibilities keep Matt from the show.
