Hello Brain Storm Business Podcast followers - if you are still out there. No, Penny Haynes is not dead - she has just had to switch hats from entrepreneur to geeky programmer for the last several months. Today she has been liberated as the Commercial Creation Center multimedia production software went public. So now I'm back to doing the thing I love to do - like podcasting and learning about business ideas and successes!

Brief review of what has happened over the past 4 months: my programmers abandoned me mid-project, leaving me with promises I had made to others regarding availability. My immediate reaction was to have a panic attack and breathe into a paper bag. My other strategy was not getting out of bed out of sheer terror of what other bad news the day would bring.

But eventually, I had to push myself beyond my fears and pick up the project, re-learn VB6, learn php and mySQL, learn about Active X programs, and learn more about xml. It has been horribly challenging, but in the end, I have to say it was worth it. Now, I have more valuable skills and basically the ability to program whatever the heck I dream of - without hiring someone else. Of course, I do have a "Technical Advisor" whom I refer to as Yoda, without whom I never could have learned as fast, nor could have dealt with the technical support issues. YODA rules!

So today's business podcast is just a quick re-introduction of myself to you, sharing a few lessons learned, and the public intention to return to podcasting now that I have the time to do so. Also, I want you to know that we'll be permanently moving the Brain Storm podcast RSS feed. It will all go through FeedBurner at http://feeds.feedburner.com/brainstormbusinesspodcast. I've had that feed for a while and put the quikonnex feed through it. Now, my new feed is coming off of one of my Online Community Magazines (http://www.AllBusinessMagazine.com) - so I'll assign it to Feedburner.

Well, that's all for today. I'm looking forward to reviewing my stack of business magazines and sharing with you the cool stuff that we can all learn from.
