APRIL 2018 DTNS UPDATE (Patreon)

THIS is the DTNS Monthly Update available to all backers. Each month I let you know what's going on at DTNS and highlight a few awesome bosses. Hence the old phrase "awesome boss sauce." (editor's note: not a phrase)

This may be the last time I play "guess the picture" since few of you are guessing. However, last month's picture was of Patrick Beja the first time I met him in Oakland, California (Along with Mark and Nicole Spagnuolo. So what is THIS one?

TOM'S NOTE

We just keep barreling along into the spring here don't we? It's almost like time has an arrow and can only move in one direction. Or is it us that moves through time? Or is time an illusion created by the holographic mind? In any case, I'm enjoying this aspect of the possible illusion where ya'll support us each with a few dollars and we're able to do an almost literal daily tech news show. It's fun for me and hopefully enjoyable for you.

In case you missed it we held our quarterly hangout where we chat about the state of DTNS. Some brainstorming always happens there so check it out: http://www.dailytechnewsshow.com/dtns-q1-2018-hangout/ 

PATRON TOTALS FOR March

We got 7 more patrons this month than last month!  That's a couple months in a row of patron growth. Hooray! Let's keep it up. Spread the word.

REVIEW US?

Speaking of spreading the word, did you know you can review Daily Tech News Show every 6 months or so on iTunes? If iTunes is your podcatcher of choice, please do jump in and leave us a review. If all of you reviewed us this month we'd shoot up the iTunes charts, more folks would discover us, and we'd hopefully grow the Patreon and be able to do more with it!

NOTE FOR ALL: So Tuesday May 22, which is early Monday May 21 in the US, we'll record an Australian Round Table in Australia. That will replace the normal Monday May 21 episode and will be a little off schedule, we admit.
