It was a question of time and the constant demand to produce for us something interesting and of value everyday. \u00a0I personally wish him the best as he prepares to leave Saudi Arabia to return to the US in 4-5 weeks.\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned a lot working with Scott the last few weeks, and I hope I\u2019ll have a chance to work with him again in the future.\u00a0 Good Luck Scott!<\/p>\n<p>As you may have heard, Rockylou created a project to collect <a href=\"http:\/\/rockylouproductions.com\/blog_wp\/conversation-sign-up\/meet-ds106\/\">audio self-reflections of the DS106 experience<\/a>: Who are you? <a title=\"FYI on DS106.  What it's all about.\" href=\"http:\/\/ds106.us\/\">What brought you to DS106?<\/a>\u00a0 And why in the world are you still here? In this 26th episode of the LoDown I share two of those self-reflections that just arrived from <a href=\"http:\/\/cogdogblog.com\/\">Alan Levine<\/a> (CogDog) and open on-liner <a href=\"http:\/\/johnjohnston.info\">John Johnston<\/a> from Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>To submit your own self-reflection or schedule and record a Skype chat with Rockylou <a href=\"http:\/\/rockylouproductions.com\/blog_wp\/conversation-sign-up\/\">complete this contact form<\/a>. Two new DS106 audio assignments have also been created: <a href=\"http:\/\/assignments.ds106.us\/assignments\/audio-self-reflection\/\">AudioAssignments1119<\/a> ,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/assignments.ds106.us\/assignments\/audio-self-reflection-parody\/\">AudioAssignments1122 Parody<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So now what do we do without Scottlo? We step it up a notch. Put on our \u201cA\u201d game and all pitch in to produce the remaining 10 daily episodes of the LoDown. I\u2019m on deck for this episode and I have at least 2 more up my sleeve.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to give away too much, but thanks to the wonders of recorded audio, Scottlo may be making a future guest appearance on the LoDown.<\/p>\n<p>We only have 9 more episodes of the LoDown to go. \u00a0We can make it to 35 if we work together.\u00a0 Are you game to give it a go? You can contact Jim Groom, leave a comment for Rockylou, or tweet to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Rockylou22\">@Rockylou22<\/a>,\u00a0 and we\u2019ll get you on the air.\u00a0 It can be a lot of fun. And an extra special bonus?\u00a0 You get to play your own stuff.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to wait with baited breath through each and every episode of the LoDown like Brian Bennett.\u00a0 Here you go Brian.
