This week on the podcast we've got news about Groupon, the Google Translate for the deaf and the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing.
The Big One (00:22): This week Karis, Jim and Will talks Groupon's impact on Chicago tech, particularly given Groupon just bought its long-time daily deals rival, Washington DC-based LivingSocial.

The Fun One (36:13): While in Houston covering the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, Karis caught up with Karen Nowicki, director of engineering at kCura, about her career in engineering and experience competing and coaching Olympic-style air rifle.
