Of course I have a special interest in this one. But if is does well they may make it a regular practice...which would be nice.

Bob McDuffee did that article around the same time he did the Dogwatch podcast interview with me. Pretty good guy, and both of those plugs drove a noticeable bump in sales :-)

He had just sent me the link to the eccj special edition yesterday. Lots of info in that magazine, it seems.
