You might know John Moltz as a person on the Internet. Many people do! However, he also appears in other guises, sometimes as a large, golden bull and others as a phalanx of beautiful swans! Usually, however, he appears as a guy working at a desk. Other important points that John Moltz would like to share:
- John Moltz is fluent in English and conversational in two other languages.
- John Moltz is the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. He’s fast enough for you, old man.
- John Moltz is actually made up of thousands of smaller John Moltzes, all furiously working tiny little gears to keep the larger construct you know as “John Moltz” functioning.
- John Moltz is a little too comfortable talking about himself in the third person.
Jon Armstrong is a long time blogger at the barely alive Blurbomat, a UX/UI consultant, a web/business developer, a photographer and the impetus for this show. In a past life he executive produced a popular blog and ran the business. Yes, business. Turning This Car Around marks Armstrong’s first foray into podcasting.

Jon splits time between Brooklyn, New York and Salt Lake City, Utah. Armstrong has two wonderful and amazing biological children and two also wonderful almost-stepchildren.
No Lex this week, he's still on vacation.
Jon's daughters are fans of Little Big Planet.
Moltz's son is hoping to get Lego Dimensions this year.
Moltz will, sadly, not be playing Star Wars Battlefront on a shiny new Playstation 4 this year.
Moltz reminisces about March of the Wooden Soldiers which he feels is what a joke in this Simpsons episode is based on.
There's yet another trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Carrie Fisher did a terrific interview on Good Morning America.
This brings us to an Ewok-themed t-shirt.
