This morning Randy Pausch passed away. Randy was my mentor and largely responsible for molding me into the person I am today. Our thoughts are on him and with his family.

You can learn more about this extraordinary man and what he's meant to so many people at An Enduring Legacy.

This year we participated in the University of Washington Business school's Applied Strategy Project. A great group of students from UW worked with us on novel marketing strategies and helped implement several of those strategies.

We feel extremely privileged to participate in the program and were very pleased with it's results. In particular, the team helped make many connections with the Entertainment Blogosphere and refined our online marketing strategy.

Here's a picture of the team (I'm the old fart):

Best of luck with your next endeavors!

The "fall" TV season is coming to an end. It's been a turbulent one with the WGA strike and bizarre schedules. It's also been our busiest season yet! We received a lot of great feedback from our users and have just released a new version of our software to address them.

Along with a few bug fixes, new features include:
* Fullscreen Mode
* Cut/Paste
* Undo/Redo
* Re-record - also known as "I flubbed that line and want a do-over"

The next time you go to view a complete Overcast, it should automatically upgrade for you. You can always go to downloads to get a jump on everyone else.

We've had a lot of new Overcast Authors become regular contributing members to the to the site. Two of my favorite current Overcasts are for Battlestar Galactica (by SluggoTimmy) and Top Chef (by KitchenNija). Both do excellent commentaries for their respective shows. You should definitely check them out and leave them some love in the forums.
