Slow day at work and Podcast News

Aug 25

Greetings!

Today has been a VERY slow day at work.  To an extent it is nice because I got to record today’s Geek News Daily podcast early and without having to worry much about customers or other workers.  Other than that, it has been a total snooze.

Speaking of podcasts, now that Geek News Daily is back up and running, I have Global Geek News scheduled to come back starting tonight.  I should probably clarify that, it is not going up tonight but I will be recording it live on Talkshoe for anybody who wants to call in and listen or talk on the show.  I will also be giving away some free iTunes music!  If you have a chance, drop by tonight at 10pm EST and join in!  If my bandwidth is ok, I will also be streaming video of the show at Global Geek News Live.

That is what is going on with me.  What is going on with you?  Leave me a comment!

Geek News Daily Returns Today!

Aug 20

pcnerd37Geek News Daily , , , No Comments

Hello Readers!

After a very long absence, I have picked up Geek News Daily today.  I have prepped myself on all the stories and have readied the show notes.  I am still waiting for the opportunity to record the podcast, but it should be up later today.  When I get the opportunity to record, I will be streaming it live at www.pcnerd37live.com.  I will write another post when the podcast is up.  I will also be unveiling the new Geek News Daily logo as well.

If you want to know when I am streaming the recording of the Geek News Daily podcast so you can watch, make sure to follow my updates on Twitter!  My twitter post will likely show up on here as well in my friendfeed widget to the right.

Speaking of streaming, I will be embedding the stream on my own page in the near future rather than send people to stickam.  Stay tuned!

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.

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

World View meeting at church

Apr 28

pcnerd37church, Geek News Daily, Global Geek News, Unofficial Mahalo Podcast , , , , , No Comments

Hello Readers,

Between now and Wesdnesday, I will do my best at updating, but I forgot that this week is the week that every night until Thursday, I am going to be at church for a seminar on World Views.  The first three of the lectures were yesterday and there are still three more to go.

I have found this seminar very interesting as I have spent countless hours learning about ancient civilizations, how they viewed the world and how their veiw had an impact on the world around them.

I will do my best to keep up to date on my blogs through this, but im not sure if I will have time for podcasts.  I will get a new Unofficial Mahalo Podcast out sometime at the first part of this week but I dont know when.  If I can squeeze it in, starting tomorrow I would like to get back into doing Geek News Daily podcasts.  Im not sure if my Global Geek News podcast will get to start back up this week, but I am hopefull.

I will post here for updates and to let you know what is going on.  Until then, I recommend following me on Twitter to know what is going on as it happens.

StarFest 2008

Apr 22

pcnerd37Geek News Daily, Sci-fi, Unofficial Mahalo Podcast , , , , No Comments

Hello readers!

For those that didn’t know, I spent my Sunday at this years StarFest in Denver.  While I had a great time, it wasn’t as good as in the past.  There seemed to be far fewer people dressed up this year as in the past.  I wasn’t as impressed with this years guest list as in years past, but I did enjoy meeting Nana Visitor.  She was extremely nice and very funny.

I ended up spending far more money than I had intended.  Not only did I get Nana Visitors autograph and my picture taken with her,  but I also ended up with a Battlestar Galactica shirt, and an Underworld poster that is being shipped to me.  I saw a picture that was autographed by the cast of Star Trek Deep Space Nine that I really wanted, but it was nearly $1500.

Nana Visitor and Me

Although wheeling my mother around in the wheelchair wasn’t very fun, the lunch we had was great.  The event was at the Marriott hotel which apparently makes great food.  I had the Marriott Burger which I can honestly say was the best burger I have ever had.  The put these really thick, juicy slices of bacon on an already big burger which made it amazing.  I wish I could eat there more often.

That is pretty much all I have to say about the convention, but expect a Unofficial Mahalo Podcast to be up today and likely a Geek News Daily as well.

What is going on with me

Greetings readers!

I know I haven’t blogged on here or podcasted lately, but life has been very busy.  Combined with having issues from installing a new hard drive in my laptop, my productivity has come to a virtual standstill.

I have been posting pretty regularly on my Global Geek News blog, so check that out.  I will try to start posting here more often.

As far as podcasts go, once I get my laptop up and running again which will hopefully be sometime today, I will start doing podcasts again.  I have found a new co-host for my Global Geek News podcast which I assume will start on the next show.  More on that Later.

I also am throwing around an idea of another weekly podcast that I will talk about soon.

Till tomorrow,

Things to start picking back up this week

Mar 10

Greetings everybody!

I am sorry for not posting on any of my blogs or podcasts in the past week.  Things have been a tad busier than usual.  After today, things should calm down and get back to normal.

That said, I am really wishing I had gone to SXSW.  From what I have read on Twitter, it seems to be tons of fun.  I really need to try to go to some conferences other than sci-fi conventions.

I have to retake my Cisco practical final today.  I started to take it on Wednesday, but the switches and routers weren’t preconfigured as they were supposed to be, so I  have to take it again tonight.  I still have to do the setup stuff myself, but I have a little more time tonight as I had to leave early on Wednesday for a family event.  I should have had time to complete it on Wednesday had things been setup the way they should have.  I am trying not to dwell on it as it does no good.  I am lacking in time tonight, but now that I know more of what to expect, I should be able to get things done in time.

Expect a blog post on the Global Geek News blog today and I will likely spend the rest of the day before class trying to get my Geek Podcasting Network website finished.

Back tomorrow!

Changes are underway!

Feb 27

pcnerd37blog, Geek News Daily, Geek Podcasting Network, Global Geek News , , , , , , , , , , No Comments

I am making a number of changes to my various online ventures.  Lets start with this blog.  I am going to be moving away from this blog being a promotional and update tool for my podcasts and blogs.  I will be posting about a wider variety of stuff in the near future.  I will still plug my podcasts, websites and blogs when there are any major developments, but they will no longer be the primary focus of this blog.

Speaking of blogs, I have spent much of the past two days migrating my Global Geek News blog from blogger to WordPress.  As nice as Google’s Blogger service is, it doesn’t allow me the power and easy of customization that I want on my blogs like WordPress does.  I love the plugins that wordpress has and makes tracking my blog far easier.  I will likely delete all of my blogs on Blogger in the coming days.  For those that didn’t know, Blogger is where this blog got its start.

Now for a quick podcast update. I just put up the newest Geek News Daily podcast.   Some interesting changes are coming to the Geek News Daily podcast.  I plan on using sound effects in the very near future as well as I am in the process of finding some theme music and a good intro for the podcast.  I have a few other ideas, but I’m not ready to reveal them at this time.

As for the Global Geek News podcast, I will be doing that solo for at least the next episode if not for the foreseeable future. Schedules are constantly conflicting between myself and Lindsay which is coming at the expense of the podcast.  Until things change, I will likely be doing the show by myself unless we can find time to do a podcast together.  As sad as this is, its not all bad news.  I have another person that wants to come on as a co-host, but I’m not ready to reveal much about that yet.  Stay turned for more on that.

For those wondering what is going on with the Geek Podcast Network, it is in the works, just running behind schedule.  Hopefully I will have that launched soon. If you are looking for a host for your podcast, email me now!

Starting tomorrow, I will have more personal updates rather than just plugging my podcasts.  Stay tuned!

Podcasts have resumed again!

Feb 25

pcnerd37Geek News Daily, Geek Podcasting Network, Global Geek News, school , , , , , , No Comments

After taking a two week break, I have resumed podcasting.  A new Geek News Daily podcast is up!  The prep is also done for a Global Geek News podcast.  I don’t know when this week it will be recorded or who will be on the show, but I hope to have it out before the end of the month and then weekly after that.

On a related note, I plan to move the Global Geek News blog off of blogger, to a wordpress blog on the website.  This will allow for me to do more with the blog and should get me to blog almost daily as I had always planned.

Speaking of getting stuff done, the Geek Podcasting Network is a bit behind schedule.  Depending on my free time, I will try to get it ready to go up by the end of the week.  Expect a big post here when it goes up!

Now that all of that stuff is out of the way, I must say I am very excited that one of my best friends is coming home this week after spending a year in Iraq!  I cant wait to see him and go play a round of golf later this week or early next week.  I took the online portion of my Cisco CCNA final tonight.  I didn’t do as well as I had hoped, but I will still end up with a B in the class for this semester.  The next semester starts next week.

Thats it for tonight.  I shall blog again tomorrow!  Don’t forget to follow me on twitter!
