Hey friend, welcome in to Jupiter Broadcasting's weekly talk show, taking a pragmatic look at the art and the business, the software development, and the world of technology. My name is Chris, and joining us from a rather stormy location, it's our host, Mr. Dominic. Hello, Mike. Yar, mount your gator and get your jaeger. It's time for Milton. Oh, God. I guess that's the spirit you have to have down there. I mean, you got to get rich and get a second home or something, you know?
Yeah.
Get some good VC money, get a crazy AI idea going, and just get to a cabin somewhere out of there when these storms come rolling in.
I know. The Pacific Northwest is looking better every day.
You know, you move here, we'll have one of our 100-year earthquakes, though.
Of course. It's me. That's true. I lived in Jersey. Sandy happened, right? I got stranded with that. Yep. Actually, remember, we did a live show the afternoon when Sandy was hitting that night.
Yeah, I do remember that. It was crazy.
The audio was like, you could hear the tree smacking the window.
Yeah, I mean, and now Milton's on its way to Florida as we record. Should never have taken a stapler. Is that looking like it's going to be in – are you in the path of that? Direct it. Yeah, it's a pretty – yeah, that's what I was thinking.
