I know you have your reasons, but free Podcast on iTunes is a BIG DEAL! I've been waiting for you guys to get on iTunes (translate: I was actually looking for the message) and almost missed the update. Keep them coming and good luck.

Other then iTunes (which i hate with a buring fury of a million suns)? Like, an rss feed to your podcast, so i could listen to it via a program that works on Linux? ;) 1) i keep forgetting that this is happening (3rd week, right?)

I was listening to the podcast so I couldn't quite call in but I still want to ask. How would you suggest a school vs. work balance for college students? A little background on myself. I have enough in savings to last me through this semester and next. I'm currently taking 19 credit hours worth of classes and am majoring in accounting. I actually left a job because I felt with so many units I wouldn't be able to focus on both adequately. Lately I've felt like I have too much free time and making money would fill that time void and generate income. Any thoughts on a balance for that?

I use yellow legal pads. (Well, they're not legal-sized, but I call them legal pads, anyhow.) But you're right: once the office is moved up the hill (about 50% there now), I can still do writing at home. It'll just be the old-fashioned way! :) @getagrip

One other thing that could help is having a pen and paper available in the form of a small notepad and pencil (Trent at Simple dollar is a big fan of this). That way if you have an idea, you can jot it down quickly and forget about it with minimal interuption of what you're doing outside the office and then review it during office hours.
