Intervals

I respond to a great email from a fellow runner and writer who is working on a book that I really hope she finishes and publishes! Also, other rambling flotsam and jetsam as I enjoy a weekend at home!

I’m just rambling through the streets of New York City with lots of stuff on my mind and a whole new way of life before me. Listen in and go for a walk with me down Broadway as I contemplate “the city”.

All my struggles and efforts over the past seven years of podcasting has finally led me to the big city lights of Broadway! Listen as I take a stroll towards fame, fortune and the 5:17 train out of Penn Station!

With all due respect to that great 80’s rock band “Flash in the Pan”, I’m walking to Penn Station in the City of New York with an audio update of my life in the Big Apple.

I’m in the Big Apple this week, cavorting around as a network engineer working as a consulting engineer taking on a new and exciting project that has me working in the famous “Flat Iron Building”. Listen in and hear my story.

My good friend, Adam, joins me on Intervals for a discussion of his goals for 2013 and the triumphant return of The Slow Runners Club www.slowrunnersclub.com

Thank you to every who has sent over kind words, thoughts and wishes as well as William, Vera, Katie, Heather, Ryan, Chaise, Andie, Gordon, Scott, Mike, David, Jeff, Colin, Jason, Diane, Al, Cheryl, Ron, Mark, Martha, Greg, Jim, Maddy, Tim, Bill, Kevin, Michael, David, Doug, Vance, Brad, Rob, Marcelo, Andrew, Shawn, Roberto, Zaki, Ria, Jan, Margaret, James, Norm, Simon, Albert, Janice, Dan, Pam, Rob and one Anonymous fellow runner!

I’d like to invite you to join me in TWO (count ‘em) TWO social media events…the first is a GLOBAL tasting of the 2012 Beaujolais nouveau, a red wine made of the Gamay varietal that is the world wide indicator for the vintage of the year we are in. ALSO; I’d like to have a REAL conversation with YOU on Intervals. Listen to this episode, and I’ll try to explain my ideas for two social media projects that I’d like to invite you to be a part of.

It’s a potpourri of podcasting today, with the near fatal catastrophe that I experienced during this recording and I’ll read some listener mail to describe my past experience with an ailment of one of my favorite tendons.

My laptop’s hard drive died, and of course I had NO backup…thus my podcast production enters a new “Thoreauvian Era” of simplicity. Hear now, this first recording “un-produced” from my newly risen laptop computer.

It’s election day here in the United States, and I really feel that it’s important to vote. Don’t do it for yourself, but do it because you can and should. At the end we visit with my young niece, Emma…who apparently has plans to take over my show!

A brief note turns into a rambling diatribe about my job search, new projects and NOT about what I had intended to talk about (my use of social networks); I finish up with a tip on how to contact me through my website.

Since the storm, podcasting has been a low priority item for me…but with the day off from work I’m here to talk about the weird place that I’m “in” career wise. Today I talk about jobs, looking for a job and the hardest part of finding the RIGHT job.

Taking a walk around my property to see the “BEFORE” visual imagines before my house blows down! It’s going to be a rough night, but we’ll get through it. If you’re on the east coast: PLEASE stay safe. It’s going to be ugly, but as the old song goes: “The Sun Will Come Out, Tomorrow” (well, maybe Friday!)

The winds are starting to pick up here in Central Massachusetts. Right now we’re seeing winds of about 35 mph and gusts of 50 mph are already hitting us (the wind wasn’t supposed to get this bad until after dark!). BUT we still have power…although the lights have been flickering. If you don’t hear from me: look for me on twitter.steverunner.com or facebook.steverunner.com. If you’re getting hit with this STAY SAFE, DON’T GO OUTSIDE! It’s getting bad out there.
