Hey Readers!

First, sorry I haven’t been blogging lately.  My New Years Resolution has clearly gone out the window but I will try to do better.  I finally have the desire to blog again so expect much more in the future.

Now that my apologies are out of the way,  lets get down to business.  Before I talk about my podcasts, I want to pitch an idea to my readers to see what they think.  What is the idea you ask?  The idea that I had this afternoon is to either do a daily or weekly newsletter or blog post about all of the cool links that I come across.  From the latest huge LEGO creation to how to hack your favorite devices, I would do a round up of my favorite links that I come accross.  What I want to know is whether you would prefer this to be a blog post or newsletter and if you would like it to be daily or weekly.  If you could answer the poll below and put any other feedback in the comments, I would really appreciate it.

Now with the podcast news.   Global Geek News is doing great.  The listener base is growing and podcasts are coming out weekly if not more often than that!  We recently had Walt Ribeiro as a guest and the chemistry between myself and Wesley is amazing.

Geek News Daily on the other hand is a bit rocky.  I do shows when I can but its not quite the daily show I had dreamed of.  I don’t think I have gotten a show up all week but I did have I believe 4 shows last week.   Hopefully I can find a good recording time in the future to make it daily.  Despite the irregular podcasts, the quality has increased considerably and I have plans to make it even better in the future.

For those who are long time readers and podcast listeners, you know I have wanted to do video for some time.  This is still in the cards but I don’t know when it will happen.  I am hoping it will happen in the near future.  I would like to start doing video entries here.

My Battlestar Galactica Live Blog has been huge!  Last week there were a ton of wonderful readers.  If you haven’t joined in on my BSG live blog experience, be here on Friday nights at 10pm EST between now and March 20 when the series ends.   I am considering live blogging other shows in the future, so if you have suggestions, leave them in the comments.

I do have other things on my mind that I would like to blog about but I will save them for future posts.

Podcast and Blog and Video Updates!

Jan 15

Hey readers!

I haven’t posted here lately but I will be posting at least daily here as part of my New Years resolution.  To start off, I figured I would give an update on what is going on with my podcasts and blogs to be followed by a post that will announce something big for this blog.

Lets start with podcasts.  Geek News Daily was going to start back this week but thanks to the post CES lack of news, there hasn’t really been enough to do a show, so that will start back on Monday unless I have the time to do one today or tomorrow.  The more I do this podcast, the more I enjoy it, but I don’t get the opportunity to record like I would like, but I will be making more time for it starting next week.

Now for the big podcast news!  For those that haven’t noticed, Global Geek News returned a couple of weeks ago!  So far, we have done two episodes.  For those wondering who I am talking about when I say ‘we’, I have a new co-host, Wesley Faulkner.  We seem to have great chemistry and I think the show has become dramatically better with the change.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get a show out last week as he was at CES representing AMD and I was supposed to fly to Salt Lake City but got sick.  We will have a new show this weekend.  We are recording a new show on Saturday morning with special guest Walt Ribeiro.  Unless conditions force us to do otherwise, we expect to record on Saturday mornings and then I will have the show up on either Saturday or Sunday.  If you have been waiting for its return, it is back so make sure to check it out!  Also, if you weren’t a huge fan of the show before, give it a listen again as it has changed a lot and I believe for the better!

Now for some blog news.  Like I said, posting will resume on this blog with this post and will be daily if not more than once a day.  I have decided to make this blog about anything cool that I come across online or anything that is running through my mind that doesn’t fit on the Global Geek News Blog.

Speaking of the Global Geek News Blog, it has been doing well despite the fact that I didn’t really post the last half of December.  Since the start of the year, I have been posting on it daily.  The Global Geek News Blog is where I put my heart and soul into posts about various technology issues.   Sometimes, posts are even longer than any paper I ever wrote in school, so you know you are getting all of my thoughts about an issue when you read a blog post.  About half of my traffic dropped off after I stopped posting in December, so I am trying to get those numbers back up.  This is the blog I enjoy writing most because it is often about things I am most passionate about.  Also, I will begin doing video there!

Speaking of video, I have said I am going to do it for a long time but it has never happened.  Starting Monday, I will be doing the occasional video posts here and will likely do short, daily videos on Global Geek News as well.  I plan on contacting Animoto to do some sort of partnership as they were interested in doing something when I spoke to them back in August.  I would be using what I can get from them to do the intro and outro of the videos.

Also, I would like to say that I am looking for sponsors for all of my blogs and podcasts.  If you or your company would like to sponsor Global Geek News, the Global Geek News Blog, Geek News Daily, or Pcnerd37.com,  I would love for you to contact me at pcnerd37@globalgeeknews.com

That is about all I can think of for updates right now, but I will post updates here when I have them as I want this site to become more of a hub for everything me.  Speaking of which, I am going to be working on a page or something that lists the RSS feeds and new items of all of my blogs and podcasts so you can easily subscribe to the feeds and find out what I am up to.  Until then, you can easily follow almost everything me on my FriendFeed.

Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter too!

A lazy week

Sep 18

Hey readers!

Sorry I haven’t blogged on here in a while, I have mainly been focusing on blogging over at the Global Geek News Blog.  Other than those posts, it has been a rather lazy week.

Podcasts have been on hold and a few plans got put on hold as well.  Things will start back up to normal as early as tomorrow.  A new Geek News Daily will be coming tomorrow including a new feature that you can read about at the website.  Assuming the opportunity presents itself, I will be bringing back the Global Geek News podcast this week as well.

Part of the reason I have been falling behind is that I am trying to catch up on podcasts that I missed from last week as well as this week, and even some that I am behind nearly a month on.  I am within a day or two of being fully caught up which will happen by the end of the week.

I am thinking that since I already stream the recording of my podcasts, I will start releasing both a video and audio version of my various podcasts.  I will have more details about that in the next week or so as I am looking to team up with a really cool video product for making the podcasts.

Anyway, that is all I have to update you on as life has been rather quiet lately.  If I feel like it later today, I will post my thoughts on the movie Righteous Kill that I went to see on Tuesday night with my dad.
