MERRICK:  How come nobody acknowledges when I talk? What about that?
JAMISON:  That’s a deeper problem than a microphone.

CHUCK:  Hey everybody, and welcome to Episode 61 of the JavaScript Jabber Show. This week on our panel, we have AJ O’Neal.
AJ:  Yo, yo, yo. Coming at you live from Iowa.
CHUCK:  Again?
AJ:  Oh, I guess I was there last time, huh? It’ll be New York soon.
CHUCK:  We have Jamison Dance.
JAMISON:  Howdy, guys.
CHUCK:  Joe Eames.
JOE E:  Hey there.
CHUCK:  Merrick Christensen.
MERRICK:  What’s up?
CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. This week, we have two special guests. We have Joe Fiorini.
JOE F:  Hello everyone.
CHUCK:  And Juha Paananen.
JUHA:  Yeah. Hi everybody. Juha Paananen.
CHUCK:  Thank you for straightening that up for me. We’re going to have you guys introduce yourself real quick, since you haven’t been on the show before. Joe, why don’t you start us off?
JOE F:  Sure. My name is Joe Fiorini and I am an Interaction Developer at Designing Interactive in Cleveland, Ohio. I do a decent amount of JavaScript development every week. I’ve discovered Functional Reactive Programming three or four months ago and it’s changed my world.
CHUCK:  Awesome. And Juha, do you want to introduce yourself as well?
JUHA:  Yeah, why not? I’m Juha. I’m from Finland. Helsinki. Special Guests: Joe Fiorini and Juha Paananen.
