We’re back! It’s been a long while since we’ve published a podcast, and believe us it’s been a long, strange, and interesting trip.
In this edition, we talk about where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to; discuss taking your work and not yourself seriously; and we uncork another pick of the week.
You’ll probably notice that this week’s edition is a tad rough around the edges — it’s been a while since we’ve flexed out podcasting muscles and we recorded it using Google Talk instead of Skype.

We’re back, after an unintentional (and unavoidable) hiatus. This time around, we spend over 16 minutes weighing in on the subject that’s causing a lot of buzz in the technical communications industry: the release of RoboHelp 6 by Adobe. And, to be honest, we’re not overly impressed.
In case you’re wondering, we tried something new with this week’s podcast: we did it over Skype and recorded it using software called PowerGramo. Let us know how you like (or not) this little experiment.

This week, we discuss hard to use and just plain bad software, and how you can improve the user experience by producing effective, focused content. We also present out Pick of the Week: a neat little utility called FastStone Screen Capture.
