It finds lightbulbs.
That was cool, nice to hear more about the people behind the team. You guys should do stuff like that more often.

Speaking of creating a post of all the free e-books... I added that e-book to the free e-book page on the wiki. Which has been around for a while, guys... Tongue Out

I haven't watched the show yet but the preview image made me laugh! Charles wears a jacket, Brian a sweater and Dan a shirt... and all are in the same tiny room Big Smile

Edit: Great show guys... and Charles you are really great also in front of the camera.
