Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: Independent local media is important, especially when the so-called main stream local media is not serving the interests of locals as it could (or should). Content creators have all of the tools available today, here is a look back at my own experiences doing this from around 2008.

Shall we publish this podcast more frequently? Maybe even, periodically? Seems like a good idea. The theory moving forward is, people don't really check the description of a podcast in their podcast player application to see what sorts of comments the host(s) or guest(s) have to add. Maybe a link to an article or picture referenced, or maybe contact info for the guest(s), but for the most part the show notes are hidden in the RSS feed, and rightfully so. RSS is a hint at the full content. There ...

Does it count to chase a sprint? Progress, but rarely as planned. Why engineers aren't always the best project managers, perhaps. Some thoughts on executing two smaller ideas which still leverage the core code and which might be easier to kick off and, at the same time, test out the software and general build and deploy workflow. And they're good ideas, IMHO. CantHave NookieMap You're interested already, but be sure and wait until the end to hear about Human Distributed Denial of Service Attacks...

Took a short Phoenix sojourn to visit my fully-vaccinated parents for their anniversary, and for once in a very long time I left my laptop behind on a trip. It was not a cell from The Far Side after all, so it was either a Far Side Clone at some point, or The Mandela Effect in action (though the actual Far Side cell artwork is close, the humorous text is not... I was way off). Sadly, TheFarSide.com are not nearly so open as XKCD.com is, so a search for the real cell or the variation I described ...

Well, my sprint schedule slipped. If you listened to the very first episode of this new show, you heard among the random bits of story and ramble, that I wanted to deploy the websites that correspond to this and two other new audio programs I'm a part of now, but... As the title suggests, these are not excuses, because late is late, but I do go into substantial detail about the two reasons for my slippage.
