I have been working hard in getting the new studio up and running. Today was the first day I could really test it. Therefore, with Logitech 9000 webcam in hand, I put together the first video.

I brought it upstairs and tested out the new video editing equipment. Amazingly, it really handled the bad light to make the green screen work. I can’t wait to actually put in real lighting.

At first I thought of not posting this video, but ya know…. I worked hard at this. Therefore, it went up on TVazine.

Here is the first test video down in the Cave – er I mean Studio.

We were in the upper area of the CES hall overlooking the Intel Booth. Todd Cochrane talks with Russ and Tyler about the newest Blue Mics.

The newest Snowball USB mics, and the iPod nano microphone for quick recording. Snowball is the #1 selling USB microphone. We look at all the mics in the consumer series including the iBall mic – a Webcam attached to a microphone.

Surveillance is a concern we have. Sometimes we want convenience. A webcam is not going to cut it, so we look toward companies like Defender-usa. From 1 camera to 16 – all recorded on a DVR system.

During CES09, we saw a lot of 3-D Technology. Mostly to show off Video quality, with some about computer gaming in 3-D. Minoru has a great idea – Webcams in 3-D.

I have this problem – I have my work room in an odd configuration. I need to work on items that can’t be in the background when I am on the Webcam. However, the folks at Web Around have the solution.

Todd Cochrane talks with Vikki about this great product. It’s a portable backdrop that fits on your chair so you don’t have video background noise. Then you can shoot your video in a smaller space and not have a co-worker behind you waving hi to Mom.

I remember back in 1999 I resolved to give up Mountain Dew for a year (which I was addicted to) and reduce the amount of caffeine I drank. I also resolved to drink more water, and switch to a diet soft drink (which I couldn’t stand to drink before that). At the beggining of the new year, I finished my last Dew and went on the change. My result was that I didn’t drink Dew all year and slowly weened myself on diet soda, starting with 5% diet – 95% cola, then slowly changing the percentages.

I also remember 2001 when I told myself I would quit smoking. That didn’t last a week.

Everybody makes resolutions. Doesn’t have to be on January 1st – it can be during a birthday, anniversary, religious holiday or a life changing event. Whether your resolution helps you with health, money or whatever, it’s something you not only feel the need to change but also want to stick with changing.

A resolution is a self check – to be able to see if you can change something about oneself. With so much pressure out there, this becomes a quest to see if adversity can be overcome. Sometimes we hear about how people stuck with their resolution and a difference is seen. We also hear time and time again when people fail. Why?
