Mark & Wes at Europa in Orinda, CA. We ran out of 9 volt batteries for the EQ that the lapel microphones use. So, we used the wider stereo Sony mic that picks up background noise a lot. Fortunately for us, Europa has a somewhat quiet atmosphere. The food was very good, and Mark and I discovered a special podcasting section of the restaurant that we'll have to take advantage of next time. Enjoy this weeks show!

Mark & Wes at Brothers BBQ in San Francisco. (WNO FlashBack to 2006)

Two years ago seems like an eon when it comes to technology. Before posting this show, I was surprised by my dependence on my Pocket PC at the time mark and I made this show. Since then, my PPC has died, and I have yet to find a battery replacement for it. I've moved on to use an iTouch, although the SDK has only just been released and there are no legit applications for it yet.

Mark & Wes & Troy in Emeryville. (WNO FlashBack to 2005)

This is a show created awhile ago when we were experimenting with podcasting and audio editing. We brought Troy along with us to help in the randomness of our conversation. No format for this show, and really we just hit record and let it run. I think the topic of this show was labeled, Fluorescent Pigs.
