I\u2019ve made a remarkable discovery!\u00a0 I\u2019ve found that anything and everything can be made more exciting when put into the context of a Quest.\u00a0 Imagine your daily commute to the office as an epic struggle to reach the Kingdom of Workplace.\u00a0 Picking up the kids from soccer practice as a search for Lost Children of Futbol.<\/font><\/p>\n

Of course, this epic-ification of activities works really well with things like my ongoing series of video blogs, my travels known as the \u201cTour d\u2019Joko\u201d.<\/p>\n

For yesterday\u2019s Tour d\u2019Joko, I had a series of objectives, interesting places I wanted to see.\u00a0 The last of them was the \u201cFlaming Geyser\u201d, which kind of sounds like something you\u2019d find in Mordor, Middle Earth.\u00a0 So the rest of the adventure became Lord of The Ringsified too.<\/p>\n

I captured a LOT of video in yesterday\u2019s journey, so I\u2019m presenting it in three parts.<\/p>\n

First stop, Building 92 of Saruman!<\/p>\n

Yes, this Tour d\u2019Joko was proceeding like so many before it.\u00a0 I was having fun, but something happens at the end that keeps me from reaching my destination.<\/font><\/p>\n

And yes, I really did ask the nice receptionist lady at Microsoft, \u201cI am sorry, I do not speak Orcish, but I\u2019m looking for Saruman?\u201d<\/p>\n
