HourTime Help Desk #1

Here is the official podcast version of the Help Desk show. Quality really won’t go up on these because of the way they’re recorded. Unfortunately it’s the only way we can take calls right now. Ariel and I are going to talk about how to run these shows in the future, however, her are a few questions we have for you specifically:

1. Should these be folded into the regular podcast feed or should they have their own show i.e. a separate iTunes feed for these shows?

2. Did you enjoy the concept? Was it helpful?

3. Should this last an hour? Heck, two?

4. When should we run the live shows? What time? What day of week?

Let us know what you think and we’ll keep rocking.

Our first collection photo - a Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic, and a JF. Lucas has a nice, strong starter collection here. He writes:
This is the bad ass collection. A Seiko, a Tommy Bahama, a Relic and JF?. The only one I purchased was the Seiko, and the others were peoples attempts to buy me cool watches. But, everyone has to start somewhere. Next, I want a Orange Monster, for my first automatic.
He apparently also collects Goldfish.
