 Transcript
 JAMISON:  Are you guys going to do a doo-wop chorus? I feel like with you all sharing the same microphone, we need some sick vocal harmony.
MERRICK:  I wouldn’t mind starting a JS Jabber a cappella group.

JAMISON:  Hey everybody and welcome to JavaScript Jabber Episode 68. I am your guest host, Jamison Dance. Chuck is at LoneStar Ruby Conf this week. We have Merrick Christensen.
MERRICK:  What’s up?
JAMISON:  We have Joe Eames.
JOE:  Hey there.
JAMISON:  And we have an incredibly special guest, Aaron Frost.
AARON:  Hello.
MERRICK:  [Laughter] What?
JAMISON:  And he is not British.
AARON:  Coming from across the pond.
MERRICK:  Once you’re gone, I’m going to start using that as my greeting.
AARON:  Well, I wish my name was like that one guy, the Allonge, Reginald Braithwaite.
[Laughter]
AARON:  Where it’s like your name’s in British.
JOE:  Yes. Your accent, no. Oh, I would have my name be Benedict Cumberbatch.
AARON:  That’s pretty British too, that name.
JOE:  That’s a very British name, yeah.
AARON:  Wellington something.
[Laughter]
JAMISON:  Then you would be the archduke of JavaScript.
AARON:  Yeah.
JOE:  Oh, that would be an awesome title.
AARON:  That’d be great. It’s a good title.
MERRICK:  So Jamison, do you want to talk about why we have Aaron on the show?
JAMISON:  Yeah, I was going to ask him to introduce himself.
AARON:  Oh, great. I’m a web developer at an awesome company called Domo.
JOE:  But what’s your official title?
AARON:  Officially, I don’t know. What are you playing at?
[Laughter]
AARON:  Maybe an open web strategist.
JOE:  There you go.
JAMISON:  Social media expert?
AARON:  I don’t know. But I work on our UI team and we’re getting ready to push out a really awesome release that everyone’s going to love. I’m also an author. I’ve published a short book with O’Reilly in May and working on another book.
Special Guest: Aaron Frost.
