The Untech Show

Well, this is the very first episode of Life In the Internet from jtrigsby.com (so don’t beat us up too bad!). Join @JTRigsby and @VickieRigsby as they host the Internet’s newest podcast for non-techies!

In this episode co-hosts JT Rigsby and Vickie Rigsby talk about

  • what to expect from the show
  • netbook or iPad…or iPhone, and
  • cloud computing / Google docs

 

The audio is doing some pretty freaky things. Please try the player down at the bottom and let me know how it works for you, or you can download the show here. Also, it seems the audio level is a little low, again… sorry. Hopefully I’ll figure out what’s going on by next week! Enjoy.
