TDH - We are going to Everest

MWAHAHAHA! It was Halloween today on The Digital Hazard. I mean it was Halloween everywhere, but it permeated the show too. The only evil things we talked about were Firesheep and Facebook's ad model. James Cameron is still monetarily focused, and we are going to podcast from Everest. If you'd like to support us, please send a paypal payment to digitalhazardpodcast[at]gmail.com.

(don't actually do that).
