Episode Conclusion

It wasn’t quite infinity and beyond, but we hope you enjoyed the trip. The new Toy Story movie hits theaters this weekend and we’re all excited to see it.

We’ll be back next week with another episode, and here’s your clue:

“One theory about the origin of what country’s name is that it comes from the Iroquois for Village or Settlement”

A little history and geography next week so come back for that.

You can find more good stuff about the podcast over at DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. You can also checkout our book of the week, Creativity, Inc by Ed Catmull. Mr. Catmull was one of the founders of and the President of Pixar Studios. His book is equal parts history of Pixar as well as an excellent guide to managing technical and creative people. I don’t normally enjoy “self-help” books, but this one was absolutely fascinating.

I hope to see you back here next week. I’m your host, Brian Rollins. Thanks for listening.
