John's Intro:

Welcome to 2021 this is a new year, new life, you know, everyone with new ideas etc. Here's to hoping that it will be a better year than the one just past. Let us begin the count down to Episode 500!

With great appreciation for the No Agenda Show for their inspiration of ideas and the occasional stolen sound clip.

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Ambers Rant:

This is #1 of 52 episodes for 2021. Its Episode 493; Welcome to the NEW UNIVERSE!! I'm pretty sure that we have entered an alternate reality throughout the past month. And we have so much more weirdness to look forward to!! yaayy..

The world… is rather upside down these days – there is A LOT going on out there! So, I say it's time to make a little place where you can TUNE OUT for a while! It can be anywhere – a blanket thrown over your couch to build a fort, in your bed with your door closed and a ‘Do Not Disturb' sign or a sock on your door, or even your car! Get into a space all your own, throw on some music and grab a book, or even throw on an audio book and grab a drink! Kick back, and breathe. Try to get there at least once a week, more if you can.

If you have kids, let them know that they should only bother you if they are broken, dying, or bleeding for 1 WHOLE hour. Make your area comfy for you, and try to remove all internet AND radio with news hours while zoning out. Try to let go of everything outside of your control, and work on pestering those you know and care about to get their own Zone Out Space's started.

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.
