Never let your Audio recorder start doing a Virus Scan in the middle of the show. 15 minutes had to be re-recorded tonight which sucks.. You know me no editing but when the audio was blank I had to do it twice. Probably better the second time around anyway.

GNC-2009-11-03 #524 Where we are going from here!

November 3, 2009PodcastAdobe, Apple, Black Friday, cbs, dell, feeddemon, Google Voice, iPhone, iss, NAB, p2p, Pirate Bay, Podcast, sprint, Windows 7, wordpressTodd Cochrane

I talk about the plan I am laying out for the show, while the Audio format will not change I am moving aggressively to improve the video quality in an effort to be in a position for what I feel is forthcoming in the new media space. The exercise while expensive is one that I think is one that I need to take to see if the content will bridge over time into as big a hit with video hit as the audio format is.
