A quick update today to let you know that “Sophia Danielle Fletcher” was born Wednesday morning.  Everyone is happy an healthy. 

Also, since I had the recording rig turned on, I thought I should throw in my two cents about this iTunes debacle.  If you were disaapointed/dismayed by the podcasts listed on the iTunes Podcast showcase page, I have a special musical “long-distance dedication” for you.  Enjoy!

• The ever-elusive iTunes Podcast Specification document.
• Inside Mac Radio got “iTuned” in a BIG way.

Bless you, and be safe this holiday weekend!
