Welcome to episode 37 of the JavaScript Jabber show. This week on our panel, we have AJ O'Neal. AJ: Yo, yo, yo, comin' at you live from the executive boardroom suite of Orem, Utah. CHUCK: Jamison Dance. JAMISON: Hey guys! CHUCK: Joe Eames. JOE: Hey there! CHUCK: Merrick Christensen MERRICK: What's up. CHUCK: I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and this week we have some guests -- and that is Kris Kowal. KRIS: Hello. Yeah, Kowal. CHUCK: Kowal. OK. And Domenic Denicola. Did I say that right? DOMENIC: Denicola. CHUCK: Denicola. DOMENIC: It’s OK I got Americanized. That's probably the proper Italian pronunciation. Hi guys! CHUCK: I speak proper Italian, so probably. KRIS: Yeah and for what it’s worth, I think that the proper Polish is Kowal or something, but yeah. JAMISON: Kris, are you from the Midwest? You have kind of Minnesota-ish accent. KRIS: No. I'm actually unfortunately from somewhere in the suburbs of Los Angeles, but I grew up indoors and did listen to Prairie Home Companion. So I don’t know. Maybe. [laughter] CHUCK: Awesome. All right. So this week we are going to be talking about… actually there's one thing I need to announce before. If you are listening to this episode, you’ll probably notice a little bit of a difference with our sponsorship message. I actually left off one important piece to one of the sponsorship messages and that is for the Gaslight software training that's going to be in San Francisco, if you wanna sign up, go to training.gaslightsoftware.com and you can sign up there. They’ve been a terrific sponsor and I feel kind of bad that I botched that. But anyway, Special Guests: Domenic Denicola and Kris Kowal.
