THIS IS THE 100TH POST ON SOLID ROOTS!!! (just a sidenote)

Whooo!!! An hour long. I just couldn’t bring myself to cut out any more than I did. It was 1:30 unedited, so I cut out 1/3 of it. Okay, enough about you, onto the notes:

Apple.com and all their announcements: iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc. (yes, I know the iPod and iTunes link are the same, but I’m a partial Type A…)

Sidenote: my iMac probably came out around 2000 but the “colored” line was first introduced circa 1998.

Fake Steve. We love you Fake Steve, thanks for the cash. Oh, and the iPods.

For the first time in Random Inspirations’ history, we’re releasing a never-before-released version of the published version of this podcast. Since adding a co-host and a regular guest, the time of the podcast went from 7:30 to over 106 mins. I got the official version down to just over 40 mins (all good stuff), but I wanted you to be able to hear the entire thing (mostly) unedited - if you have 106 mins to spare. You can download the full version here.
