After a long summer break, your favorite television shows are finally starting new seasons, and you are prepared: You have a 15-gallon bucket full of Kettle Corn ready for your prime time couch-potato enjoyment; you’ve made space on your Tivo by deleting old episodes since you’ve got them neatly stored on the last season’s DVDs you just bought; and you’ve set recurring calendar appointments to remind you of your “commitments” (Yes, we know that “Go to the gym” means “Call in an order at Domino’s and watch the pizza tracker like a hawk.”).

As your incessant withdrawal symptoms are approaching unbearable levels, I’ve got a treat for you that will temporarily satiate your desire for entertaining content: The Return of This Week* in Vending.

It’s been almost six months since you joined Christian and I on our taste-test of the vending machine chili cheese dogs, so your mouth is either watering for more or your stomach has finally settled … either way, you’ll enjoy this installment.

This week’s victim participant is Planet Northstar’s Development Manager Clayton Spivey, and he is forced gets to try a vending machine cheeseburger. Making a cameo in the episode: our first vending survivor, Todd Mitchell. (Editor’s Note: Make sure you watch Todd’s reaction when Clayton takes the burger out of the wrapper.)

When we finally get down to the meat of the interview (very punny, I know), you’ll have a chance to learn about Planet Northstar — The Planet’s Managed Hosting division — and the development work required to create systems to accommodate the division’s ambitious goals.
