Hello, and welcome to this fine episode of View From The Quad, available at www.viewfromthequad.com!

This week on the show I finally announce the winners of VFTQ’s competition to win a copy of JC Hutchins’s new book, 7th Son: Descent. Take a listen to find out if you won!

We also discuss how to make any gloves work with an iPhone or iPod Touch (This is something that has been bothering me for ages. I never quite understood the use of fingerless gloves. What’s the point of gloves if you can’t warm your fingers?), how some mad scientists plan to make life everlasting within 10 years time, a Wired writer who tried to take a new identiy for a month (and why he failed), a new study technique that I have discovered as well as news of the new iPhone entering testing phases. And, as usual, a whole lot more!
