So in researching the podcast and where its been turning up, I have discovered... I'm not the ONLY Geek Acres out there. And since I have received comments on the good branding of the podcast, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I actually did do some research before settling on a format and a name. Just goes to show, you can never truly cover all of your bases. (All your name are belong to us ?) Anyway, I have yet to receive a C&D Order from anyone, so as long as they're ok with it, I'm ok with it.
Good Cuppa Joe:
Apparently there is a guy growing coffee in Hawaii. According to the website Knowing Dot Net, Larry O'Brien is a professional writer and software developer who lives on the Kona side of the Big Island of Hawaii. He seems like busy guy; and with clients like Microsoft, Intel, and AMD... is it any wonder ? He dives, plays Frisbee, and reportedly makes the best darn cuppa joe that some folks have ever tasted. I don't drink the stuff myself, but if I ever make it to Kona, I just might have to make an exception.
Rural Geeks, UNITE !!!
And then there's my fellow farm-bound geek, Duane Keys. He is a self-described techno-geek transplanted to a farm (by choice). Whereas my 'Acres' is a virtual space. Duane and his wife have purchased a small plot of ground and are actually naming it Geek Acres. His blog appears to be the journey of preparing the land and living there.
