GraniteGrok "wizard" Skip Murphy
.
As we have eclipsed the twelfth month of operation here at the ‘Grok, I would be remiss if I neglected to thank my biz partner Skip, without whom none of this would be possible. Oh sure, I could have a blog at BlogSpot or some other templated arrangement, but it just wouldn’t be the same. Thanks to Skip’s technical wizardry, we have this really fantastic place to rant, rave, and inform known as GraniteGrok, which is followed and joined by it’s offspring, GilfordGrok.
.
Then came the radio program, "Meet the New Press". Once launched over the traditional broadcast airwave, we naturally wanted to start livestreaming so that our friends from all around the Blogosphere could tune in as well. "No can do," said the radio station. Enter Skip Murphy. After hours of testing, inquiry, and experimentation, he launched the livestreaming capability that we now enjoy.
.
The bottom line is that since I have met him, it seems as if nearly all things are possible. Whatever we seem to cook up in our little shlub brains, he figures out a way to "git ‘er done". We used to joke about a livestream "ShlubCam" to allow our radio listeners to watch the program as it happens. Well, we’re nearly there, as Skip, up to his usual beta tests and trials, has just about put all the pieces in place to make that a reality too. Oh, and he’s a pretty smart commentator and blogger too!
.
For all that you do, Skip,
A big THANKS and a "hat" tip too!
(Oh, and really Skip, that hat is YOU!)
