It’s been a while since I did a Ramblings. Here we go… Last night I went to record some of July’s Day in Tech History episodes. The audio was lagging – when I stopped processing, it would sit and think. I was able to save the recording, but it took a good 5 minutes to […]
Were gonna be short on Ramblings since it’s another fun filled weekend. Happy Independence Day I am writing this on July 4th, so I shall say it. If you are not in the US, shoot off some fireworks anyway. It’s fun – unless you are in a country that doesn’t make it fun, then just […]
Busy Week Thanks for coming to the site. We had another great week – busy week. It was a lot of fun and really productive. Post – HPTF Of course, we went to Vegas the week before to cover the HP Technology Forum Expo. Andy McCaskey, Kara Karsten and myself were working hard with interviews, […]
Day Off – Sort of A late Ramblings this week as I decided to stay offline last week. It was a long week and I was playing all weekend. It has been a while since I last took more than 24 hours off a computer, so that is a big feat for me. HP Tech […]
Just got done playing Bratfest – a weekend of music and sausage to raise money for various charities. All the bands donate their time and our band was no different. We had a lot of fun and it was officially our first big stage show of the season. I am packing. Moving to a new […]
Well, this week I started getting everything in order. The packing is going pretty well as I did almost nothing yet… Kidding. I packed away all the promotional and review items, then started getting all the computer stuff straightened out. However, it’s tough to pack computers when new ones are coming in. It’s a startup […]
For those who don’t know, tonight I am going to the Madison Area Music Awards. I was nominated for 3 awards including cover band of the year, country song of the year (which was weird) and Unique song of the year (a remix of a song by another artist). It’s pretty exciting that I was […]
About 5 minutes back from Chicago and am I taking a nap? No. I’m back on the site. What am I, crazy? What a great time with Andy McCaskey and Kara Karsten putting together 2-3 days worth of content. Lots of video uploaded and produced. Also learned a lot about CMS systems. Most people there […]
This last weekend was a roller coaster of a ride. Last week we saw some issues with the site when I cleaned up the system. For some reason, the mySQL was going off the charts. Therefore the Service Provider decided to counter by putting the whole site into a 403 error. Both Geekazine and Dorkazine […]
I just bought my first case of 16 oz bottles of Mountain Dew. All I can think about is “10 minutes fueling Geekazine, forever in a landfill”. I need to figure out something to do with these bottles so they don’t end up there. My mom used to take the 2 liter bottles, cut them […]
The best part is this is the last snow of the season and hopefully it won’t be as bad as they say. Just wet slush. Just a small annoyance, then warm weather. Now on to some cool stuff. I stopped by SWAP – Surpluss with a Purpose the other day. Basically, it’s a shop that […]
So last week on Thurs. I got sick. Didn’t think much of it, took some nyquil and slept the day. That night I was feeling much better, but Friday was a different story. That night I was ok and Saturday I was good until I wasn’t. We did a show and when I got home, […]
This weekend has been a whirlwind. I’ve been working on some new items and I went out of town yesterday. I also had to figure out what I am going to do this week. Tomorrow I have to report to Jury Duty. I may be out for 4 hours, I may be out for 4 […]
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Ramblings. With all the videos and other things happening, I’ve just been running out of time. Still, we need to ramble every now and then… First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day. Hope the day is full of love and happiness. […]
Well, it’s 2 days away. I fly out to the Consumer Electronics show. It’s a very interesting time for me and even now I am anxious about the trip. Still looking for Sponsors, so if you have a product you want to promote, let me know and we’ll work out the details. I get into […]
I am writing this while watching and listening to the 24 hour podcast. This is the 2nd annual show where Todd stays up a full 24 hours talking with others. I have already been on the show with questions throughout the day. I will be with Andy McCaskey talking CES at about 8 PM EST. […]
I am now closing a 3rd week of being sick. The interesting part is it’s not the same symptoms as when first got sick 3 weeks ago. This last week has been a lot of coughing – otherwise, I feel drained, but fine. Although I am not a doctor (nor play one on TV), I […]
I have to admit, I sat down to get ready to write and I looked over at my lonely Sigma Guitar. It starred back at me like a puppy dog wanting to be petted. So I picked it up and started playing. For those of you who don’t know, I am a musician and an […]
