CHUCK: Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 33 of the JavaScript Jabber show. This week on our panel we have AJ O’Neal.

AJ: Yo, yo, yo. Comin’ at you live from DJ sphere of Orem, Utah.

CHUCK: We also have Jamison Dance.

JAMISON: Oh, gosh you get to —-. I’m sorry AJ; your intro was so good. [laughs]

CHUCK: [laughs] I’m Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv and this week, we have a special guest and that is Trek Glowacki?

TREK: A little bit of both. I hang out on the secret volcano base that we have, with Yehuda and Tom and my contributions are–

JAMISON: That’s why your audio quality is so good.

TREK: Yeah, we are at the volcano base, it’s really is beaming to a satellite in space.

TREK: So,
