LN-QRM #27: Hangin’ Out

We tried something new tonight. We used the “Hangout” feature of Google+. A “Hangout” is a feature of the new Google+ social app that lets up to ten people video chat back and forth. We thought it would be a good replacement for Skype, which has been getting worse and worse with each new version. For a beta product, Hangout worked fairly well.
As you can see, Michael is missing from this podcast. He was on a well deserved vacation. But, in his place… BARTY!!! He was able to make a rare Sunday appearance and we’re glad to have him back.
That brings us to another topic. We are moving the show’s live stream to Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm EDT. This seems to be a better time for all the guys.
