Below are the show notes and links from the broadcast for you to use to experiment with the items related in today's podcast.

I apologize for the lateness of this posting. The process to broadcast this podcast as a video involved a couple of learning curves that took longer to clear than I had anticipated. All in all it has been an incredible learning experience and has reinforced my belief in project based learning as the best method of education. I also apologize for any latency in the video, while I have tried to edit this as much as possible, I have found that this is best fixed by imagining you are watching one of the old Kung-Fu movies where the words aren't supposed to match with the mouth movements.
