I meant to do this for Tuesday but then I was lounging about after my work trip and then realized that I had to get ready for another work trip for this week. I guess we’ll see what’s worthwhile in Bakersfield. Other fun stuff. I’ve seen a tentative schedule for the panel programming at this year’s LA Comic Con, we’re not permitted to advertise the schedule but it’s feeling far more real for me now. I can’t wait until next month! I do believe I am still allowed to say that the topic of my panel is Podcasting for Beginners. I’m still preparing my remarks and looking for suggestions from anyone and/or everyone who want advice or motivation to start their own podcasts. Reach out to me with whatever thoughts you have on the topic. I’m wracking my brain retracing my experience podcasting to pick out tidbits I wish I’d known and done sooner. It’s been awhile so I’m not sure if I’m recalling everything that can be useful. I’m covering things like tech and gear, concepts and formatting, execution and motivation, and I’m fairly confident in the material I’ve got so far but I swear there’s something I’m missing. Ultimately the question is “Everyone else has a podcast. Why not you?” so, I guess I should touch on why people don’t have a podcast when they find themselves wanting to do one.
Anyhow, I think it’s time to check up on Bottle Cap’s progress. I don’t recall the exact date when we started this but it hasn’t been more than two months. Bottle Cap has come quite a bit. His stats at the start of this training were *0:13/00/09, that’s how I designate my pokémon to easily compare stats in the main screen. Zero stars, Att: 13, Def: 00, HP: 09. And now, after his training over however long his stats are *3:14/14/13. Almost done now. As of writing this, he just needs to be in the party winning eleven more raids. Catch 1,467 more pokémon. And then, hatch seventeen more eggs and earn ten candies exploring with my buddy. We have 311 days to complete these tasks. I’m confident we’ll get this done but until it IS done, ya know. I can’t wait to have my four star shiny charizard, I’m so excited!!! And I’m thinking I need to do something different about getting a girlfriend. Another conundrum for another day, I suppose. I haven’t gotten to meet Janina Gavankar yet but I haven’t given up on that dream yet. But now my Accord is acting up so, who knows how things are going to play out for me at this point? Blurgh, this is exactly what I need. And now, photos of Bottle Cap…
