Hanging With The New Wrinkle & How A Small World It Really Is

On Saturday night, I got a call from an incredibly cool chick named Kelly.  (Who happens to run a very cool mead community web site called Meadworks - check it out!)  She was very excited and almost wasn't able to get her words out.  (I am also convinced she had found her way into a mead bottle somewhere - but I will leave that to your endowed imaginations.  Snicker!)  The gist of the voicemail was this:

"Shane!  Shane!  I ran into some cool people today and they are called The New Wrinkle!  I checked out their web site and saw that your company is hosting them!  That is so cool!  I am very proud of your accomplishments!  That is exciting!"

I jumped up and down and thought it was amazing that Kelly was on the site because, only hours before, I had been promoted to the role of technical advisor for The New Wrinkle.  You see, the video blog talks about a variety of things but one such topic is technology.  And, let's just say, I am suspicious about how some of the technical stuff that appears on their web site tends to follow our beer swilling parties.  Hmmmm.   Thus, I requested a new role on the podcast.  Little did I know it would be a promotion to the credits.  How cool is that!  So, that little exchange of two of my closest friends running into each other and doing a segment on a video blog - that is just too gnarley for geeks like me.  Small city fever. 

If you want to check out the video blog, the hosts are A. Traviss Corry (face it, dude, Arthur is a cool name) and Amir Aghelnejad and the site is The New Wrinkle.  How I got mixed up with these wickedly cool people, I will never know.  And they all tolerate me too.  That is saying something.

Oh, yah, and Traviss?  Make sure you call me about those nerdy things and we'll chat and get you ready for your on screen close ups.  I am also going to stop there because if I say "cool" one more time....oh, man.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
