Hey Again, Steemitizens!
Here is an update on the state of the union of my witness role and technology from me speaking in my capacity as one of your elected steem block chain witnesses.

I entered the listings at the bottom, was first seen on the list at #189 and have risen to #106 since then in just 13 days. I am filled with gratitude to all voters choosing me as one of their witnesses.

I created a website supporting the initiative, established streaming servers to run the network and we now have 22 show hosts and hostesses providing seventeen 2-hour live infotainment shows running each week with more in the works for release in the very near future. With the help of a hand picked team of volunteers, including 
I continue to work every day to help with many other P.A.L. Network/MSP initiatives based on my core values and principles of kindness, generosity, gratitude, patience and strive to help P.A.L. Network/MSP foster an environment of Peace, Abundance & Liberty on the block chain for all our MSP members and the steem block chain ecosystem at large, and wherever possible, bringing these principles out into the world beyond the block chains borders.
I am always happy to answer questions or lend a hand to anyone whenever I can. Just let me know how I can be of service, and if it's within my power and time constraints to do so, I will certainly be happy to respond accordingly!
Just like that, this post is over.
Full steem ahead, steemitizens!
