This week on our panel, we have Joe Eames. JOE:  Hey there. CHUCK:  We also have Merrick Christensen. MERRICK:  What up? CHUCK:  AJ O’Neal. AJ:  How do you decide the order each week? CHUCK:  I just make it up. AJ:  Okay. It’s only random. CHUCK:  And Jamison Dance. JAMISON:  Hey guys. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv and we have a special guess that’s Isaac. I know I’m going to destroy your last name. Let me see if I can say it… You say it. ISAAC:  Schlueter. CHUCK:  Schlueter! ISAAC:  Yeah. AJ:  That’s so much easier than I’d ever imagined. [Laughter] ISAAC:  I wanted to hear Chuck keep going on that. JOE:  Yeah, it’s pretty good. CHUCK:  It has extra constantans in it, it throws me off. And then extra vowels. MERRICK:  I heard him just crying, “Shu...shu…” [Laughs] ISSAC:  I have relatives that can’t say it right and it’s their name so… [Laughter] CHUCK:  Alright. Well, do you want to introduce yourself real quickly since you haven’t been on the show? ISAAC:  Sure. I am the author of NPM and I’ve been maintaining Node for the last -- Jesus! It’s been almost a year and a half now, a year or so. CHUCK:  So just a couple small projects that nobody’s heard of, right? [Laughter] ISAAC:  Yeah, a handful of little things on GitHub. CHUCK:  Is there anything else we have to know about you? ISAAC:  I enjoy changing my Twitter avatar to things that are funny or disturbing or preferably both. [Laughter] ISAAC:  And, I don’t know. CHUCK:  Alright. Well, we really appreciate you coming on the show. AJ:  That is pretty disturbing dude. You’ve got your face on a really overweight cat. Special Guest: Isaac Schleuter.
