Anybody in data recovery out there willing to help a poor podcaster?

Yes, I ended the year (literally on New Year's Eve) with a failure of my primary hard drive. All of my client and show data was backed up within a day or so, but inevitably I managed to loose more than I'd like. I've written it off to a crappy end to a crappy year.

But on the good side, the experience has inspired an awesome blog post for tomorrow, a time capsule set up for constant back ups and a can-do attitude that created this particular show.

And like I said during the episode, I really can't think of a better group to start the year off with. Steve and Bill are perennial friends of the show and Erik is the maker of a movie all about overcoming adversity. Sounds good, right? Believe me -- it was. So give it a download. And happy new year.
