Recording on a Saturday Night Post-Grad Night

Dan here:

We're both fresh off graduation ceremonies and arriving back in the Geek Lair for some good ol' fashioned podcasting. Tonight, we'll be talking about the lines between school and community and when schools should be holding students accountable for behavior beyond the walls. (And you might actually hear us throw down a little over this one, folks!) Jeff will be talkin' tech and some great sites for summer reading. I'll be talking about a book I'm currently reading, but gotta talk about because I'm sucked right in. And in media, I'll speak of the virtues of Most Dangerous Catch and Ice Road Truckers.

Good times should abound!
