Jon Westfall and I (Todd Ogasawara) welcome back special guest Jason Dunn who previously appeared way back on podcast 44 (November 2011). Jason started one of the first technology blogs back before most of us knew what blogs were. PocketPCThoughts signed off on October 12, 2012 after a great run of well over a decade. In this podcast, Jon and I discuss this early tech blog, Jason’s time at smartphone maker HTC, and the mobile devices and computers he uses today.
