The song "Drive Away" from Matthew Ebel is one of my current favorites!

I didn't listen to the first PodCast. But I will. This 2nd was the best part of my day! Second only to reading the hilarious Jen and Jan election speculation at the point leader voting post. Eric oughta express himself to the people with more great ideas at the main thread. Bootstrap Funding gives hope to, well...Me, that I can jumpstart my financial crunch, into a financing option, better than extra part-time work or giving blood. ouch! Okay, I'm posting and listening at the same time, up late again, when I'm most creative. Happy Halloween! to all the "freaky community people". I was watching the 9:00 news and what a no-brainer inspiration they had filling croc shoe holes with gibbits! There's inspiration everywhere when we get our creative juices flowing! Word Association rocks! My only post followed 'reward'. I couldn't resist my favorite reward, "icecream". While I'm waiting for the umpteenth dialup buffering, and it being Halloween, I followed up a 3-worder with the scariest thought regular people consider, but entrepreneurs call scrapping the project. Thanx, Ross, for the inspiration...ha,ha. Well I don't know about you but after listening through that StrappedCast it seems clear that if you want to make a habit of a tight run ship, there are particular forum categories and threads that need book marked for easy access/reference. I know the Favorites tool is in the works, Joel. I for one have a new emergency habit. And some new threads. The color of red becomes you all. Power to the Freaky! ~daniel~
