Due to local technical upset -- I've written and lost an article twice in a row in the last 2 hours -- MSOTY articles will have to be postponed until the New Year. Whoever you are out there, thank-you so much for sticking with us through the year. I've written more than I ever thought I could and intend on continuing to pump out this tongue-in-cheek nonsense until the ship flies itself!

GISMOS EP-0
/FUCKING FINALLY!!! The hard parts over, our podcast is up on iTunes and you can get it here. What an enormous pain in the ass it was getting it up and running. Now i understand those podcasts about podcasting. The technicalities of the software and marrying it all together made me feel like a disabled 5 year old attempting to assemble Ikea furniture, the word of note here being 'attempting.' A humbling and enlightening experience. But its done now so we can move on with our lives and concentrate on interesting stuff to deliberate.
Were calling this episode 0 in order to absolve ourselves of any responsibility. Now that we know whats - what we can start creating reasonably entertaining content and maybe get a second mic so we sound like we know what were talking about. We feel we can get the point across in shorter, more digestible pieces thus the 46 min run time so keeping it under an hour will be our goal. Unless you like listening to people talk about what they ate for lunch or why they called their cat marbles or whatever the hell people carry on about in a 3 1/2 hr podcast. Who has time for that?
