How dangerous of a driver are you?
Hey Readers!
I came across this cool little test to determine just how dangerous of a driver you are. I figured I would share the test with others to see how other people scored compared to myself. I scored a 72% B and was considered a little risk. How dangerous are you?

Wordpress saves me a ton of work
Hey readers!
I just thought I would share how much I love Wordpress.
WordPress is what I use for all my blogs and podcasts with the exception of the Geek Podcasting Network, and I really love it. Considering all of my sites used to be done by hand in html, having a great CMS like Wordpress is a great thing. It has made managing old content and editing and creating new content so much easier, its a wonder I didn't use it sooner. I also like being able to ad all kinds of plugins to bring functionality to my sites as well as get it my own personal feel.
Speaking of how much I love WordPress (I can't wait for 2.7 to be released), it looks like I might be using it to create a website for a local association. Their old website is horrible and they got a quote from one guy who wants $800 to do a new website, but thanks to WordPress, I plan to put in my own bid for much lower to try to make me some money and get some WordPress converts at the same time. If all goes well, I should know something by early to mid January.
Anyway, that is just my thoughts on how much WordPress has simplified my online life and how I hope to use it to make me some money in the near future.

Podcast and Blog Update
Hey Readers!
Until last night, it had been a long time since I blogged on here. I figured I would give everybody an update as to what is going on with me.
The Geek News Daily podcast is going strong, and is daily right now. Once in a while I end up missing like a week or something, but it is going strong with episode #43 being released later today. I should have some intro's and outro's recorded this week to start putting in the show. I am also looking into the idea of doing a video version of the show although I seem to be having issues since I live stream the recording of the show at GeekNewsDailyLive.com. I am also still working on trying to get a stable recording time so that people can know when to expect the stream, but since I record at work, I don't know if that will be possible as I never know when that opportunity will come.
As far as Global Geek News goes, I hope to start the podcast back in the next week or so. When I start it back, I will likely go solo for the first episode or two and then start bringing guests on after that. I hope for that to be a Friday release but I am not sure yet. I am also looking to do a short, daily video on Global Geek News with content similar to the Global Geek News Blog. I have a little bit of work to do before I get the video up and running I think, but I hope to have that going before Christmas. Speaking of the Global Geek News Blog, that is going very strong! I am getting more average daily reads now than ever before and it continues to grow like crazy. I took about a week break from blogging on there last week but I put up two posts last night and will try to do that many or more today. From now on, it is my goal to do at least one post a day on there. Make sure to check it out when you have a chance as it is something I am very proud of.
I am also looking to devote some time to doing some programming for Android applications, so I am trying to find a good balance between podcasting, blogging and programming. If something begins to suffer, I will try to adjust as I think I can do all three but it won't be easy as I already work 45 hours a week.
Anyway, that is just an update about what is going on and some things to come. I will be blogging here more today, so stay tuned!
