View fullsize

Last week I alluded to some major news happening and I always try to deliver on my teasers so here you go. Paying attention? 

Effective today I will be working exclusively on the tabGeeks Network for about 30 hours a week! This is a huge step forward as in the past this has always been a night's and weekend's project, and now with the incredible traction we have received on both this podcast and Supporting IT Support, it’s time to go big or go home! We will be expanding this show into a video version and launching on Youtube, as well as launching new shows on other topics, and expanding our Slack Community. Stay tuned for new swag, new content, and a lot more social media and newsletter activity coming very soon! Check out our tabGeeks Network website at www.tabgeeks.com
