Acknowledgments (continuation)
Hello
The author expresses his gratitude to:
1. Jacquie Ochoa - Thank you for all of the TLC. Your inquisitive perspective of the world always keeps us on our toes.
--- I think TLC is some television/network. So maybe he's thanking Jacquie Ochoa for enabling him to appear on TLC television?
2. Scott E. Schwimmer - Thank you for always lending an ear and sharing a Web site when I need it most.
--- Is the author saying "Thank you for letting me use your Web site"?
3. Randy Wilson - My go-to guy for all things desert, cars and design.
--- In my view "my go-to guy" means "my guy to whom I can direct to/talk to ..."
--- But I have no idea what he means by "all things desert"? Does it mean "abandoned things"? He goes to him when he needs to find/talk about "abandoned things, about cars and some design"?

2. This could mean they jointly run a website, but "when I need it most" seems to suggest otherwise. Perhaps it means "advising me which website to consult"?

Hi
I have no idea if "desert" here means "arid region", but maybe ... What about "design"? Do you think it means my "plans/projects"?
Thanks

I think "design" is used in the sense of the design of the function and form of a physical object, or perhaps in the sense of artistic design. Perhaps this "go-to guy" designs cars for driving across the desert?
