iPadre (Fr. Finelli) was in Ohio from Rhode Island and so I took the opportunity to drive down to Steubenville and meet him. Jim Coyle and Fr. Seraphim of Catholic:Under the Hood fame joined us. We talked about all things podcasting for about 2 1/2 hours before praying together and me heading home.
It was a great time and below are pictures of our little gathering. Enjoy.

The iPadre A great person, good listener, and one who strikes me as very pastoral. His parish is blessed to have him as their priest.

The Jim You can’t see it here, but if you look closely to the side of Jim’s shirt with the pocket there is a wire leading up to his head. Jim has a Borg-like implant in his other ear. Probably to stay in contact with the collective.

The Fr. Seraphim (Is he sleeping???)

The I. I was feeling a bit unfocused. I was surprised it came across in the picture. (Must be the medication)

The conversation ranged from XML feed management to field equipment to plans for a DwM gathering in Gaming, Austria. Also, note the Borg-like implant in Jim’s ear. Kinda spooky!

There has never before been a group that so needed to get into the sun than the four you see here. We are all so white that the camera had trouble dealing with our dark clothes and our shockingly bright faces.
It was such a joy to at last meet Fr. Finelli. I am so glad Fr. Seraphim and Jim Coyle took the time to sit and just talk shop for a while.
If you are going to be in Ohio, let me know. Who knows, we might just get a chance to meet and talk podshop!
