I've upgraded to Time Warner Cable's Business Class Internet. Basically, I get up to 15 Mbps download speed and up to # Mbps upload speed. I believe the increased bandwidth/speed will be a great asset to my show video and audio quality. Next m...

Paul, I have to disagree with you there. So far everything I use has been supported by every version of Windows.

That's the problem with windows, not a lot of hardware or software support and heaps of bugs. They never bother giving it years and years of testing like other Operating Systems.

I'd imagine many different software titles need to be updated to go with the new operating system. That is usually the case.

I don't know much about the hardware my university runs because I'm just a student there! However, just to name a few things, we have significantly increased time logging on. Sometimes when logging off, the machine will blue screen and restart. Vi...

Hey it's been awhile.. Things are looking great!

I've been pretty busy & distracted over recent months.

I am having a live Windows 7 Launch Party on uStream, Oct 22.

I got a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate "signature Edition!"

I got a review copy of Wirecast, thanks to my new friends over at Telestream.

I'm starting to learn how to handle Wirecast on my PC... I have a few problems... but I'll get there.

I decided my 24" iMac needed repairs.

I have AppleCare.

An on-site Technician came to my apartment, and replaced the Logic Board an… Continue

I will resume Live Shows on September 10

I watched my good friend, "G" on Granny's Gone Geek tonight.

We helped G install her new Apple Time Capsule.

I talked to a few people in the chat room. They helped persuade me to start doing live shows again.

I need some time to take care of stuff the first week of September.

I will do my first regular show at the usual time on Thursday at 8 PM.

The regular schedule will be as follows:

Thursday at 8 PM EST
Saturday at 3 PM EST

I will also look for people who are interested in doing shows… Continue

I upgraded both of my PC's today! For Free!

I watched my good friends at Compute-Ability today... I was inspired to upgrade the Power Supplies (PSU's) of both my PC's. And I did it for free!!!

I had 2 modular PSU's that were lying around.

I thought one was dead... but it's just fine.

The other has a massive main power cable that kept me from installing a DVD drive into the smaller Microfly case.

I wanted the PSU with the larger cable because it's "UV." I can see the glow through the clear computer case.

I decided I didn't need the DV… Continue

I will be changing my site soon.

My site has mainly been a "Vlog," showing all my YouTube videos.

The videos are only a small part of my "total package."

I wanted to show my artwork, and many of the thousands of family slides my Dad and I have been scanning.

I couldn't figure out the best way to handle the transition from WordPress Vlog back to a full site again.

Then a few things happened to help me find the way.

I rediscovered playlists at YouTube.

You can create a playlist of videos, then post the list itself to your w… Continue
