For those of you new to our podcast, please forgive us as we go dark this week. On April 1, 2007, fellow Arizona podcaster Joe Murphy passed away from a form of cancer called Leiomyosarcoma. I only met Joe once, but I am a fan of all of the podcasts he co-hosted at Farpoint Media.

This year, Tee Morris has posted a podcast that I am linking to, which is an updated version of a tribute which came out last year. Tee gives an update to the state of the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund, which is currently not accepting new donations.

Also, Jack Mangan's Deadpan Podcast feed has a list of graphics that you are free to use to observe the day and post on your blog, website, podcast, as Twitter or Facebook icon, etc.

These are the reflections, the memories, and the considerations of people from across the country and around the world that called Joe Murphy "friend"...
