What are you up to lately?

• Stuart – Working on some audio gear ideas to improve the podcast.  Fine tuning some backup stuff at home.
• Derek – Finally got my wife off her BlackBerry Leap; she’s rocking a Galaxy S7 on Bell now, all seems to be well after a few days of configuring and learning Android. Did some work around the house today, had a busy week at Olio, and have a few busy days coming up before vacation!
