== Pen Addict Podcast ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' From RelayFM, this is The Pen Addict, episode 177. Today's show is brought to you by lynda.com and Fracture. My name is Myke Hurley, and I am joined, of course, by the one and only Mr. Brad Dowdy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' What's up, mate?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Nothing, man. I'm getting ready to go on a trip tomorrow.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Tell us all about what you're going to do.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm doing the keynote speak talk. Keynote speak. There you go. That's a really good start for somebody who needs to...

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You are a professional podcaster, so this ought to work out well for you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Not only spend the next hour talking and then need to prepare to actually speak in front of people, I'm giving the keynote speech at a new conference called Release Notes in Indianapolis, and I should hopefully be meeting with the lovely Mr. Thomas Hall, who I owe an email back to as we speak currently, but we're hopefully going to go and meet for coffee one morning.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' You probably owe him some pens, too, knowing you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I don't, actually, this time. Well, I think it's mainly because he probably won't ever send me any more.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. That's true. That's true.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That feels potentially more likely. So, yeah, that'll be nice, but I'm really looking forward to it. There's a couple of pen addicts that are going to be there. Doug's going to be there, of course, because Doug Beal is everywhere.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' He is. That's awesome. And I listened to your piece on Analog last night, and you were talking with Casey about getting prepared for it, and it sounds like you've got this down, man. I'm excited for you. You seem, like, confident about it. You're ready to roll, and I am proud of you and excited for you.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Thank you. I've been looking deeply at this presentation, thinking about it a lot, and I presented it to a few people. I did a dry run with Gray today, and if I can present to him, I can present to anyone.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, but he'll tell you how it is. Oh, he did. I mean, he tells Brady how it is right on the show, so they don't care. That's good that you need someone like that. So, yeah, perfect.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, yeah, I think it – I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it. So, it'll be fun.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Good. Good. Well, are you flying with any pens? That's all we really care about on this show.
