In this show I talk about my trip to the DrupalCon Boston geekfest, spend a few days playing in the snowy wilds of New Hampshire, my wife Sue starts a blog of her own for Red-Tail Designs.
Meanwhile, in Netheads, I find out what it takes to survive Giant Robot attacks and live with a Pokeman addiction by listening to the Geek Survival Guide, and meet some fellow gamers who have similar apprehensions about D&D 4th edition with the 3.5 Private Sanctuary podcast. Finally, I find out how to get some great new gamer bling thanks to the blog of the same name.
Getting the Show
There are several ways to get the podcast:
Show Notes
- Nuketown News
- DrupalCon Boston
- Amazing what you can do with Drupal. An overhaul of Nuketown is definitely in my near future.
- Particularly impressed by how well it scales. Used by DC Comics (for Zuba venture), Lifetime, New York Observer, Onion, SpreadFirefox, etc.
- All my Drupal del.icio.us posts:

- A Taste of Real Winter
- Headed up to New Hampshire before the show to visit my sister. Had a blast hanging out with her, her husband, my two-year-old niece and my 4-month old nephew (who feels more like an 8-month-old).
- Jordan and I got to play in real snow — 8 inches fell while we were there.
- In addition to setting up some fun sledding runs, the family got to try sugar on snow, in which you boil maple syrup and pour it over snow.
My Wife Blogs!
- My wife, Sue Newquist, has started a blog for her jewelry business, Red-tail Designs. Stop by and say “hi”.

- Steve at WickedGood podcast sent me a link to a preference pane for Mac OS X that allows you to control your MacBook’s sleep preferences. I haven’t tried it out yet though.
