Hello,

Its been a busy week with the release of my new project my involvement with Los Angeles Metro. Thanks for your patience during this time.

I’m ready for you all to get your podcast which can be found on the RSS feed.

Its been there since Thursday, but I’ve been doing development work for this big release, visit the page to learn more if this interests you.

There is some technology that is involved with this, that being the apps that can get you around by bus or train, and even my involvment with wayfinding an those apps, but that’s all.

You’re here for the podcast, so I now present the podcast which includes trivia, news, notes and more.

Dragon Force

This is the blog post that we wrote up about Dragon Force. This is the article we’ll be taking from for this discussion.

After we initially did these notes, there was a second article which went in to more detail on what these guys did. This is the updated blog post on Dragon Force. It leads to the accompanying Bleeping Computer article which we did cover at the end of our topic. As discussed within our show notes, there is the update and we’re putting it in the notes as we speak.

Let me know what you think!
