AP podcasting article. No new angles, and all the usual bs.

Personal note: I'm getting sick. This time I think it's the flu. Just what I need as I'm readying for a whirlwind tour of The Carolinas. BTW, they allow smoking in Virginia restaurants. How baroque, I commented to my dining companion. He retorted. "Virginia is the tobacco state." Ahhh yes. There was a time when I would have appreciated that. Lots of people smoke here. On the street. As you walk by them try to hold your breath, but no way, some smoke still gets in your lungs. Especially disgusting when you're getting sick and breathing ain't so easy anyways. One more thing, of course I'm rooting for New England. How could I vote for the other guys? I keep getting confused if it's Atlanta or Philadelphia. I'm shivering as I write this. Back to bed Uncle Davey!

Is Mary Hodder brilliant or what? She and her friends go for a hike in the Los Altos Hills while TiVO records the SuperBowl. When they return, skip over the football and watch the commercials. Read that twice.

Thanks to Chris Pirillo for the pointer to iFilm's Super Bowl Ads site.

It was a very nice meetup, one of the best ever.

I attribute the success to six factors:

1. Manageable group size, exactly 10 people were there.

2. Private room, easy to hear everyone, even if they were sitting at the other end of the table.

3. During daylight hours, everyone was awake.

4. Buffet style eating, means not too many interruptions from wait staff.

5. Very reasonable price and great food.

6. Great people!!!
