Things are getting stinky around here
Greetings readers!
It has been an interesting start to the day to say the least. When I arrived at work, I found that we were nearly out of water because nobody bothered to go pick some up, so of course that means I have to use my gas to drive to the closest grocery store.
When I returned to work, I found that the dogs at work had been skunked. Of course today the dogs don't want to stay outside to air out because its very windy out. Hopefully they will air out over the next day or so as I hate the skunk smell. You would think with as many times as the stupid dogs have been skunked they would have learned their lesson by now.
Speaking of less smelly things, my podcasts have taken off again. We are now doing regular episodes of the Global Geek News podcast which are recorded every Thursday night. We usually record at 11pm EST on talkshoe if anybody cares to join us. Tonight we will have special guest Alana Taylor on the show. Last week we had Steve Gillmor and Don Reisinger on the show. Next week we will have a different schedule and I will let you know as soon as that is figured out.
In other podcasting news, there are some big things in store for the Unofficial Mahalo Podcast. I didn't have time to do a podcast last week but I will try to get one put together by the end of this week. The huge changes to the podcast will begin next week as I will be getting a co-host for the podcast. The co-host is Larry, my current co-host for the Global Geek News podcast. If that wasn't big enough news, we are in the process of trying to get as many or all of the Mahalo Vlog Idol contestants on the show. Speaking of which, dont forget to vote for your favorite at Mahalo Daily!
I was going to start Geek News Daily back this week as well, but news has been so slow this week that I would not have enough stories to run the show as I am struggling just to come up with stories for the Global Geek News podcast.
Don't forget to check out the Global Geek News Blog which should start recieving regular updates starting today.

Im going to TechCrunch50!
Greetings readers!
As some of you may know, about a month ago as a random act of kindness, I decided to get Jason Calacanis a blu-ray movie that was on his Amazon wish list. Due to some mixed signals that I was getting from Amazon, I never knew if he got the movie.
At first Amazon said it shipped it the next day which was on a Sunday, something I found strange since I have never known the USPS to do shipments on Sundays. If that wasn't strange enough, I go back to look at the approximate arrival date as I was waiting for my own shippment only to see that it says the item wont even ship until the 16th of May. Considering I had already recieved a noticed that it has shipped, I had found this very confusing.
I happened to see Jason streaming on ustream yesterday before his speech and asked him if he received it. It turned out that he had and seemed excited about it. He responded saying that as a gift to me, he was giving me a free ticket to the TechCrunch50 Conference! I never expected a $20 movie to open up such a huge door for me. I never expected to go to the conference since I could never afford to go to a conference that costs thousands of dollars just to walk in the door.
I will likely wait till I have moved to Seattle before I start confirming any travel plans. To say that this could be a huge opportunity for me is an understatement. Jason Calacanis is an amazing person and I greatly look forward to meeting him in person at the conference if not before.
If you happen to be reading this Jason, I am extremely grateful for your gift and if there is anything I can ever do for you, just let me know!

Things are starting to return to normal
I spent today taking my mom around town and too her surgeon who now says she can walk without crutches or anything. Hopefully she will be able to start doing things for herself again and I can get back to doing my thing.
Speaking of things getting back to normal, my podcasting is returning to normal. I just put up a new Unofficial Mahalo Podcast a little bit ago and will be recording a new Global Geek News podcast tomorrow which should be up no later than Friday. We finally have a weekly deal worked out for that so it will become the regular show that I always wanted.
I hope to pick up the Geek News Daily podcast sometime in the next week as well, but my laptop mic breaking was a major setback on that.
Blogging like normal begins tonight on here and tomorrow on my Global Geek News Blog.
I also have finalized plans to fly to Seattle next month to scout out the area before I move up there at the end of next month. I will be blogging that experience which should be fun.
That is all I have for tonight! Follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pcnerd37
