The Grizzly Cast
I have had in the back of my mind for quite some time the notion of doing a podcast. I have all the hardware and software to record, edit, and publish right here on this computer. So I finally took a little time and learned how to bring it all together into an actual podcast. […]

You Know Who You Look Like?
Remember that every comment left this week will enter you into a drawing to win a Princeton Tec Swerve. I get this a lot. “You know who you look like?” “Who?” And the answer is always someone that I don’t really look like, except that that person just happens to have a beard. I have […]
