Episode 0034: Potpourri for $100, Alex
I want to try something a little…experimental with the show notes for this episode of The Secret Lair. Let’s call it an exercise in the power of mind over matter; a test of your ability—with your own brain and vast imagination—to have a real, tangible, discernible impact upon how you perceive reality. If you’ll just bear with me for a moment and follow these instructions very carefully, I think together we can achieve something remarkable.
All right, now the first thing I need you to do is close your eyes. Just close them nice and tight. The next thing I want you to do is visualize a vast, empty space that stretches out to infinity in all directions. Fill that space with the purest white, completely lacking in color or shadow. Now imagine a single, perfectly round dot, contrasted against the backdrop of your pristine—wait a minute. Are your eyes open? They are, aren’t they? Dammit, how is this going to work if you can’t follow simple instructions? You know what? Forget it. We’re done here.

First off, thank you. I listen to your podcast for entertainment and information, but mostly for entertainment. Case in point, I’m driving to the airport at way-too-damn-early in the AM. I had a choice of several things to listen to – music, podcasts, audio books. I’m tired and grumpy and frustrated at the way my day/week/month/year is going so I want something that will lift my spirits.
The choice was easy. The Secret Lair never fails to bring a smile to my face. So, thank you.
That being said, I would dig a ‘serious geek’ podcast, especially if either of you is involved. Rock on.
@JJ — We’re always glad to be of service. As for a serious geek podcast, I’m pretty sure I’ll have to sit that one out, as I can only handle serious in short, controlled bursts.
@JJ – Thanks, man. Hearing things like this keeps me going.
