[](http://www.podleaders.com/chris-messina-podcast/?ref=chrismessina.me)That spikey Irish-bloke [Tom Raftery](http://www.tomrafteryit.net/views?ref=chrismessina.me) (who I [met](http://flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/70407755/?ref=chrismessina.me) at Les Blogs) interviewed me the other morning. A little poppy, but y'know, might be worth a listen if you're into sadomasochism and listening to a web geek waxing intelligent floats your ship. Anyway, a podcast that smells like bacon must be good and Tom does well grilling me on Flock, Web Two Dot Oh, and software that I'd marry (are you listening, [Jitkoff](http://blacktree.com/?ref=chrismessina.me)?). I also go off the deep end about DRM and robot take-overs and say something in French that someone else told me to say. I mean, it was like 8:00am, gimme a break.

No fair, no fair - you coulda linked to a better pic - that shot was taken in Paris in the wee small hours after several gallons of french beer (I needed to consume a statistically significant sample size for my study on differences in European beer flavours, honest!).
