There are certain challenges that I am unable to resist. Wait, scratch that. It’s more accurate to say that there are some challenges that I have no desire to resist. Semantics Are Important is one of those challenges.<\/p>\n
Remember my recent trip to Cleveland<\/a>? Okay, maybe not that recent. Anyway, about a month back, Gil started a podcast. He’d already created a web page, had the first episode recorded, edited (mastered?), and posted. The second was in the works, and more were a certainty. He was hitting a wall with his technical skills, and wanted to get me involved in a professional capacity. I jumped on this immediately.<\/p>\n A point of context – I tend to move at a tectonic pace. A more “normal” assessment of the events might say that I spent a few days contemplating, doing some research here and there, and letting my excitement gather steam. If that’s your flavor of normal, I can only say, “Whoa, there. Pull up a chair and sit a while. This weather’s rough. Want a coup of coffee? Tea? Hot chocolate? Meet the wife and kids…”<\/p>\n Once I got going, my pace significantly increased. We got the bulk of the site nearly mirrored from Wix<\/a> to WordPress.com<\/a>. Now all we have to do is wait to transfer the domain over. Why have I put in this effort? Why did I jump on this project? Well, a little extra income never hurt nobody. More than that, the podcast is Gil at some of his finest. It takes the philosophic social, artistic, spiritual, and bullshit rants out of the bars, car rides, diners, and coffee shops that have housed them in the past and pipes them directly into your ear holes.<\/p>\n He says that we no longer need to suffer through the rants, wondering when he’ll just shut the fuck up. Now, we can just turn the podcast off. Except, I don’t.<\/p>\n I anticipate the next episode.<\/p>\n I look forward to it. I enjoy hearing his larger-than-life voice come out of my headphones. I chuckle, I roll my eyes, and I miss my friend a little less.<\/p>\n I think you might look forward to it, too. Go give it a listen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are certain challenges that I am unable to resist. Wait, scratch that.
