[FOSsil-bank] [FC-discuss] FOSsil Bank Update (25 February 2014)

Tue Feb 25 00:43:06 UTC 2014

Great work, Chris! As always.

I do not think Jono Bacon is involved with Wired magazine though. As far as
I can tell, the only connection is that the Wired editor-in-chief, Chris
Anderson, wrote the forward to Jono's book.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Cheers,
