I now have a Google voice number and will be testing out putting a “call me” widget on my posts here. For those of you who have come to earlier courses, I’m posting the widget here so that if you wish, you can try calling me on using the link. Note that it does not use your computer to place the call, but rather calls your phone and then connects the call.

Below is a Google Voice connect box. You can click on the button, provide your phone number, and Google will connect us toll free by calling you back and then, when you answer, calling me. The call is forwarded to me wherever I might be at the time. If I’m not available, you can leave a voice mail.

Security Now Podcast – Steve Gibson’s website for the Security Now podcast, it contains the audio plus transcripts of various shows. A lot of useful reference material can be found here in shows describing various issues.
VSCPA Federal Tax Update Podcast – Weekly tax update program provided by the Virginia Society. I am currently presenting this along with E. Lynn Nichols.

Unfortunately, other commitments keep me from being able to present at the Virginia Beach sessions this year. However, I did present earlier in the year not terribly far away in Colonial Williamsburg on a similar topic at the Industry Conference. An audio program based on that presentation on is my Tax Update website.
