Farewell to GeeksPodcast

I know what your’e all thinking; we’re not even a year old yet and we’re throwing in the towel.  It’s a terrible thing indeed unless you stop to consider our new pursuit of enlightenment through our adoption of Amish practices.  I myself have always wanted to raise a barn and have decided that at the ripe old age of 25 I simply can’t be bothered to continue chasing after the latest and greatest in digital entertainment and technological wizardry.  So, it is with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit that we both bid you farewell and wish you the best in this Internet age, opting only to temper the seriousness of this situation with the following depiction of a chihuahua standing on cheeseburgers.  Farewell friends, and should you find yourself on some dusty expanse on the back roads of southern Ohio, take heart in knowing that we’re still out there somewhere.
