Ding Dong, the MacBook's Dead :(
Posted by Andrew | Filed under General
Can you believe it? I got stung by that grahpics issue with the last generation MacBook Pro! You know, that one where the logic board completely fries and you have to send it back to Apple to have them fix it? Yes, after two trips to the Apple Store, 200 miles of travel total equaling about 7 gallons of gas with my car, I am now in a state of Maclessness. I say Maclessness because I can still post to my blog on this wonderful public use Windows PC that SMCC provides for all of the Communications and New Media students! I better hurry up with this post though, Bubba over there looks like he needs to use this machine for something. Well, at least I can come back later tonight to finish my project in Final Cut Pro…I mean Adobe Premiere…yay.
Needless to say, the blog posts are going to become sparce and there will be no DuoRadio this week either, which is unfortunate because I actually had some things to talk about and some interesting people to talk to. Which brings me to my next thing I wanted to mention, for the next few weeks, I won’t be live streaming the DuoRadio recording. As of right now, it doesn’t add anything to the show, because people are watching the stream but they aren’t chatting or talking back at all. It’s also become a distraction and takes away from the core content of the show (if you can even call it content). Also, no one really needs to see my ugly mug in a video, particularly one coming from my office/bedroom/breakfast nook. So, as of the next episode which will be next recorded next week, we will just be recording an audio show and posting it on the site with shownotes.
Until then, I will still be keeping touch on my Twitter account and will be making posts here every chance I get. Either with my parents G4 headlamp iMac or on this Piece o’Crap (PC). PC defenders can send their hate in the comments. Hey it’s the first of May this Friday! You know what that means!
Introducing DuoRadio.tv
Posted by Andrew | Filed under General
So, some of you who may be reading this, granted very few of you to begin with, already know about DuoRadio.tv. The website has been up for a few days already, and I added the link to the top of this website and my tumblr blog yesterday. The first episode has been posted and you can watch the video I recorded on Ustream and subscribe to the podcast feed.
I’ve already recorded the first episode, and a second one is in the works for next week. In the first episode, I talk with one of my old friends, Nick Wheat, about some of the things that I’ve been writing about here on the blog and current issues in politics.
There’s no real point to the show other than to be a forum for some topics that interest me. I’ll always have someone else on because if it was just me yacking into a microphone, it would be awfully lame. Once again, thanks to GoDaddy for helping me solve the issues I had hosting the podcast on their service, they really helped make this possible for me.
New Beginnings
Posted by Andrew | Filed under General
Hey everyone! Welcome to the brand new Duo Citizenship! It’s taken me awhile to get this started, but it’s finally here. I’ve decided to dump the old Blogger platform for my own hosted WordPress system, and I’m loving it. How on earth did I put up with Blogger for so long?
I decided to dump Blogger when they introduced the following system. I find that freaking obnoxious, It’s not like they’re Twitter or something. When did Google decide that Blogger should be a social network rather than a tool for publishing content to the web? That is what it was good for. Leave the following to Facebook and Twitter, Google.
That’s a rant, and a really crappy one at that. I really doubt that anyone who is reading this understood or cared about anything I just said. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of better things around the corner for you guys. Until then, follow me on Twitter! (How’s that for senseless plugging?)
