The winners for the podcast awards were just announced and in the General category we lost to this:  http://www.myextralife.com/

I’ll have to check this guy’s site out at some point.  I suppose in the future it would be wise to commission my brother to make a few more web-comics for the site.  I’d like to thank all of you who voted for the podcast (especially all of you that voted more than once). 

 We’ll keep on keepin’ on.
