    The Outliers Inn | Thanksgiving

    ByXONITEK November 24, 2022September 29, 2025

    Give a listen… In this episode, JP is thankful to have a regular guest at The Outliers Inn, Don “Beer Man” Burshnick, able to step up and be the co-host on zero notice because Mule has forgotten (yet again) to be in a state of readiness to fulfill his hostly duties. Thanks Beer Man! Beer…

    Hunger Makes a Good Cook

    ByJoseph Paris November 1, 2022February 18, 2026

    I was in Denver recently and started chatting with people at the bar (as I am apt to do, from time to time).  Regardless of what it might sound like, I meet some rather interesting folks (who are fellow road-warriors like me) and I strike-up some even more interesting conversations. On this particular occasion, I…

    Time to rethink Just-In-Time

    The Outliers Inn | Coincidences

    ByXONITEK September 25, 2022September 29, 2025

    Give a listen… Mule kicks of the conversation at The Outliers Inn with the season wrap of robots season. Kids being kids, they start off wearing their “Sunday best” and end-up dragging the duds through the grass playing frisbee after the official goings-on are done. JP laments about how packed the flights are. But that…
