  1. This article is not under the Podcast category like the other weekly podcasts have been.
    I have the Podcast category as a bookmark and was disappointed when I didn’t see a new one but realized maybe you skipped the week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

  2. I’ve been curious about the DTMF tones at the start of “What’s that sound?” since the first time I heard it. I finally dissected it and found it to be a 56k Orange dial-up number. Thought maybe I’d get to call Mike or Elliot.
