I had a live show on Christmas Day. That's when I was informed that I'd won Chris Pirillo's Christmas gift.

You may know that Chris Pirillo chose to grant me my Christmas Wish. I had asked for the transportation costs required to visit my Dad and Step mother in Atlanta. My Dad is 82 years old. I am very conscious of his age.. worried about how much qua…

Catching up with my friends at Geeks

I know it's been awhile since I've actively participated here at Geeks... there are several reasons.

"Life Happens"

I've recently been privileged to receive a free "review copy" of Wirecast.

http://www.telestream.net/wire-cast/overview.htm

I use Wirecast for my weekly shows. I'm still learning.

I have created hundreds of YouTube videos, and gathered a pretty loyal, and small, following.

I've re-established conta… Continue

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
