This is the first episode of our new podcast called, Face Off.

This was our first recording of any kind ever. Since this is our first podcast it is very amateur. There are times in the podcast where there is light swearing.

We promise to have a more structured show for episode two.

If this is something you would like to see more of please let us know either by leaving a comment below or sending me or Jade Robbins an email.

Episode 1: 56:30

Topics include:

• Frameworks
• Ruby on Rails
• Zend Framework
• Wordpress 2.7
• Firebug
• Personal Brand Image
• Negative Blog Comments
