There will be no AlternaGeek Tech Show podcast this week while we fend off seasonal colds and viruses while at the same time trying to prepare for PodCamp Midwest. It’s been a long week with various illnesses spreading rampantly around our area. Everyone is in better shape now and Linuxchic and myself are spending our extra time preparing for sessions we are presenting at PodCamp Midwest that is being held this Saturday, February 16th. We’re hoping to record our sessions and make them available on the AlternaGeek website. Make sure to listen in next week when we talk about everything that went on at PodCamp and our thoughts on how our sessions went.

Sometimes we have so much to talk about that we can’t get it all into an episode and while we try not to leave to much good stuff out we get to chit chatting and we can’t fit everything in. We can’t tell you how much we love to get feedback so we are asking for even more of it. What do YOU want to hear about? Is there an app you are want to know more about? A distro you would like to try but don’t have a spare machine lying around to lay it down on without knowing more about it first? Maybe you just want to talk about some of the topics floating around the internet or give your two cents about a news story. Send us an email at info@alternageek.com and tell us about it. You can also attach an audio file in either MP3 or OGG format and we will play it on the podcast. We love to hear from you guys & without listeners we wouldn’t have Alternageek!

Let’s face it, if you are here you are either a geek or a wanna be in training, and that is AWESOME. To celebrate the geek in all of us as well as celebrate the holiday season, Alternageek is running a photo contest. Submit a picture showing how you have brought your geek qualities into the holidays and the winner will receive an Alternageek t-shirt.Want to know more? Click here for the details and rules.
