Happy National Pi Day – The celebration of 3.14

1988 – It’s the song that found it’s rebirth and the term “Rick Rolled” became a urban saying. Of course, we are talking about Rick Astley and the song: Never Gonna Give You Up. It hit #1 on the charts. Of course, it’s internet fame has turned this into a whole new beast.

In a new social experiment, every Sunday at 11:59 PM, everything I posted on Twitter will show up on Geekazine. This will include updates and retweets. It is a test, so if you see any issues, let me know.

First thing it looks like I need to do is make this post look a little prettier.

Since we are not in a leap year, the Day in Tech History does double duty – giving you History of the 28th and 29th.

1966 (Feb 28) – With all these ways to listen in on a conversation, the FCC has to make a ruling to protect the rights of US citizens. They create the Right to Privacy act which bands evesdropping or direct and indirect use of radio – controlled devices.

1996 – Corel not only gets WordPerfect form Novell, but also Quattro Pro for $180 million in stock and cash. Michael Cowpland (Founder of Corel) called WordPerfect the “Pepsi to Microsoft’s Coke”. I guess that was not the case as OpenOffice (RC maybe?) surpassed WordPerfect users.

WordPerfect and Corel have been in flux since 2006, when Vector Capital purchased 72% of the company. Just this last year, they bought up the remaining stock and became privately held once again.

On this day, we basically crunch numbers. This is where you will see companies let you know how much of their products are out there. How many copies of Windows have been sold, how many PC’s were bought – how much shareware has been downloaded. These stats will drive how the next year is to be written. Then, they blank the numbers and start the crazy cycle all over again.

The majority of the podcast will go over these statistics. But don’t worry – there is still a lot of other history to go through. But it’s still cool to know that in 1981, 250 million floppy disk drives were shipped to date…

Tonight I joined up after Todd Cochrane and his regular show to test out what is now called “Ohana-saurus”: The two monitor Skype machine in the back. Of course Todd is getting ready to do his 24 Hour Podcast on Saturday, December 12th starting at 11 A.M. E.S.T.

Geekazine will be part of the event at 3 times: For the Holiday Roundtable, for the CES coverage discussion and finally talking about Geekazine and Podcast Madness in the wee hours of the morning. The event will help this years’ charity: Ronald McDonald house.

Helping test out the new Ohanasaurus

For more info, go to Geeknewscentral.

Today is a special day over at Geekazine: Today marks the 2nd anniversary of the website. While the Podcast has gone longer than the site itself, the first official post happened 2 years ago today.

A lot has changed since then. Over 1,000 posts, 111 Weekly Podcasts, 153 Quickcasts, many different videos and now 3 months of Day in Tech Hisotry. Add to that the Roundtables, Vocalo segments, TPN CES coverage and a lot more – you have about 250 hours of content on this site alone.

I would like to thank everyone that has helped out over the last couple years. I would like to thank all the sponsors that have also helped me achieve this milestone. If it wasn’t for the communities I belong to, Geekazine might have faded a while ago.

Looking toward the future – It’s tough to say what will happen. I can only promise that I am still on the same path as 2 years ago and hope to give you more content and improve my art.

Thanks again for visiting Geekazine, Dorkazine and TVazine. See you at the next post!

November is the month to ramp up the shows. I have been working on a new Podcast Madness contest – slated to start next week. If you are a podcaster, you should participate in this contest. I send you a code you can give to your audience. They put the code in and therefore a chance to win.

However, the National Podcast Post Month is simple: One podcast a day for 30 days. I normally do that with the Day in Tech History anyway, but I am going to ramp up some other stuff to try and surpass the 34 I would normally do. I suppose with the video, it’s more like 38 a month, so I figure 50-60 would be a good number to hit.

I do have a few video reviews from Blogworld New Media Expo that I have to put out. I will also try to get AppWild going this month. In all, this should be a great month for Podcasts!

But why put out the challenge if no one is listening. Therefore, I am encouraging all of you to LISTEN to a new podcast a day for 30 days. Find out all the great shows out there. Get involved and call in to those shows. Make people know you are listening.

To all participating, good luck with your challenge. I am rooting for ya. And adding the contest will help.
