Thanks to all of our loyal subscribers out there, it means the word to us that you listen, and hopefully find some value in what we’re talking about!

Maybe you agree, maybe you don’t! We’d love to hear from you, so leave us so comments and tell us what you think!

We’re talking all about backups this week. I think that’s pretty self explanatory!

Klyde and I are going to try and answer the new age, age old question of “what is the cloud?”

I’m glad you asked.. well basically it’s terminology for something that has already existed, but is being sold as something new so that people with try to… use… something they already have…? I guess you’ll just have to listen and see if you agree with us!

Klyde and I talk all about Google… or at least in the limited extent of how much Google you can get in, in under an hour!

We talk Apple, Microsoft, phones, TV’s, Google Chromecast, and other completely random things about our personal lives that no one will ever find interesting other than the two of us!

Don’t forget to keep checking in for the guest podcast that’s coming up! I sure know Eric is excited!

Note: Before the in depth discussion on Google Chromecast, I mention Google’s “laptop” line and I call it Chromecast as well… but I meant Chromebook. I swear I know what I’m doing people!

Klyde and I have some information for all of you folks out there looking to upgrade your business. Whether it be SQL, laptops, desktop PCs, a server, network switches or whatever… we talk about getting down a basic game plan and to make sure you’re thinking through everything that is affected by the upgrade!

Klyde also talks a bit about Peoplesoft, the lack of S.O.P.’s, and his old balls….

I just tried to see how many times I can use the word “absolutely” in one podcast.

Make sure you check out the blog every week, as we’ll soon be adding a guest podcast with some techies from around North Dakota. They will share their insight, ideas, and knowledge of how they got to were they are today!

I’m boring you though, I can tell! Here is the audio:

Thanks again for listening everyone and make sure you leave us some comments of what you think, or suggestions you might have for things you’d like to hear us talk about. Next week we’re hoping to get a little more in depth on some more serious issues that face small, medium and enterprise size businesses, like backups and what everyone should be doing and proper ways of getting it done!

Without further ado, here it is:
