Here are some things I’m not going to do today.

I’m not going to eat lima beans. I’m not going to stick a toothpick in my eye. I’m not going to watch reality TV. I’m not going to listen to jazz. I’m not going to take a cold shower. I’m not going to install Windows Vista. I’m not going to wear corduroy. I’m not going to smell the garbage can. I’m not going to buy a dog. I’m not going to weed my garden. I’m not going to kiss a cactus.

Why?

Well, because I don’t like to.

Isn’t it that simple, really?

Thanks.

okay, so based on what I’ve been told about my writing…

I’m a tick who punches you in the face.

 

Yeah. That’s me!

Megan’s Minions: Drew Olanoff!

What’s your name?

Drew Olanoff


Who’s your daddy?

Barry


And hey is he rich like me?

Not even close, you have 3 jets and a unicycle.




Okay, seriously, who are you and what do you do?

I told you. Drew Olanoff. Now I’m a liar? I’m a web 2.0 junkie who has created the online shows Best Damn Tech Show, Period. and scriggity.


Thank you for agreeing to become one of my minions.

Well, the evil eye kind of helped the decision along.


Out of all your internet projects, which is your favorite and why?

scriggity is near and dear to my heart, because people send in their news…which they’ve always thought was boring and that nobody would care about. we make it funny and entertaining and they love it. so i love it when they love it. there’s a lot of love here megan. can i call you megan or is it sill master m?

Tell me about Scriggity. Does the name have a meaning? How did you come up with the idea? What’s with the duct tape?

It was actually a word that me and a bunch of friends used to describe something that was wack or screwed up. “That’s scriggity man”. It’s just a fun word and it has stuck. It’s fun to say. Try it. No seriously, try it. Scrigg It EEEEE!


The duct tape. Ahh. We were at a bar for Podcamp Boston, and there were video cameras everywhere. People asking questions about what we did, who we were. So I was like, I have one thing that says who I am. scriggity. So i wrote it on the tape with a marker. Nobody knew what it was. That was our tipping point.


How is Scriggity put together, and how long do you spend on each episode?


People send their news to news@scriggity.com, and it stays totally intact. I don’t edit their words at all. I break it up into chunks and write those goofy and snarky “scriggity” parts. I ship it off to Alex, the scriggity host, and she films it. We work together on the direction, camera angles, and such. She sends me the files and I edit. I’d say an episode takes up about 3 hours of our time total. Depends on how long it is. Alex is in FL and i’m in PA, that usually surprises people.

Tell me about ReadBurner…

I can’t. It’s a secret ;) Basically it’s a cool web service that takes your shared items from Google Reader and ranks them based on what was shared the most. I purchased it along with Adam Ostrow and Eric Kerr this month and we’re excited about it. The relaunch should be early April.


**update — check out READBURNER!


And now onto the fun stuff:
Huh? I’m having fun!



Sam or Dean?
Dean. Jimmy Dean.

Back or front?


I can’t answer that. I’m sorry.

Vanilla or chocolate?

Vanilla!



Up or down?



Up.

Left or Right?


Up up down down left right left right b a b a select select start.


You stand in front of three doors. What color are they, what do they say and which do you go through?

Red says Danger. Green says Safety, Go. Orange says Possible Danger, but could be safety. I go through the orange one. Orange is my favorite color.

What’s behind it?


Oompa loompas.

What’s your favorite quote?

Tie between “Failure is not an option” - Gene Kranz and “Some men see things as they are and say why, I dream things that never were and say why not” - GBShaw

If you could remake one movie what would it be and how would you change it (or not?)


Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I wanted the Dirty Dancing Girl to marry Charlie Sheen. Perfect ending. Still time for a sequel! (I could write it hint hint)


How many tattoos do you have and which is your favorite?

11. My favorite is the heart inside of my right wrist. It’s opposite the chinese symbol for “love” on the top of my right wrist.

Superman! You love him. I love him. Tell me what’s so superfab about Superman!


He’s a normal guy. Yeah he’s super. But he’s still a normal guy who does extraordinary things. Even when people turned on him he still helped them. That’s super in my book.


What’s your favorite song?


“In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel. Simply perfect.

Anything else you’d like to share with my readers?


Hello Megan Hart’s readers. I want you to send in some news to scriggity. You might thing its boring. I don’t care if your kid found a 3 legged frog in the swamp. It’s news, and we want to know about it.


Also, how awesome is Megan? Tell her how awesome she is. She does it all for you guys!!!!! That’s super too.




SO, there you have it! Send your news to:news@scriggity.com and check out the show, too at SCRIGGITY
