[FCIX] J Root has Left the Building

[Mike]

Greetings,

	Just got done listening to your podcast - awesome! So much shared 
experiences and 'been there done that', it's great for yet another 
example of the type of genius and can-do attitude that makes this crazy 
contraption called Internet just work. When I guest speak at schools and 
such this is exactly the type of stuff I talk about to kids and the kind 
of examples I bring up. Maybe too long to recommend as 'homework' but 
definitely worthwhile ken. Thanks man...
