Radio Active #81: That New Mac Smell

On this episode of Nuketown Radio Active, the site gets updated to Drupa 6, I get a new MacBook Pro, return to Castle Wolfenstein and try out some new tricks from the Jedi Academy Training Manual.

In Netheads I make plans for MEPACon 2009 and check out the northeast Pennsylvania convention’s web presence, and get my final frontier fix from The Space Review
