So it’s day one of NAtional POdcast POst MOnth and we try to kick it off right with a quick (15 min) cast. I recorded this ahead of time and hope to have it automaticaly post while the family and I are on vacation in NJ.

Hope you enjoy the tasty goodness!

Girls gone wild…..well, not quite…

yourownpersonalgeek — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:26:48 +0000

I hope to be recording some things soon to kick off NaPodPoMo later this week. I will probably have to record them ahead of time since the family and I will be in New Jersey for a few days later this week and I won’t have access to my recording equipment until Sunday night. I’m going to try really hard to have something in my feed everyday of NaPodPoMo, but we will just have to see how it goes!

In the meantime, here is a video I created with my Canon HG-10 of my daughters soccer team (the Waunakee Wild) in action at a tournament in Libertyville IL a couple weeks ago. I am going to add it as a .mp4 (ipod style) and a .flv (flash video). Please let me know which works best for you since I will likely have more video in the feed in the future and I want to know what works best for all of you!

Enjoy the show and skip thru the music you don’t like!

Listen here…

Just in time for the final four….or maybe a bit earlier…

yourownpersonalgeek — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 01:15:27 +0000

…it’s the next edition of the Ordinary Average Guy Podcast!

In this show we:

1) Recap the listeners homework assignment

2) Talk lots of sports

3) Play some kickbutt mashups

and

4) Catch up on life around OAG central

All in all just another Ordinary Average Guy Podcast

Soccer updates and homework for my audience!

yourownpersonalgeek — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:46:23 +0000

So we are fully into soccer season here at OAG central with my daughter playing travel soccer

and my son playing high school soccer for the freshman team. Here is a short video showing him scoring his first goal (hint: he is on the opposite side of the field from me)

Steven scores his first high school goal

This of course means that demands on my time will just get crazy for awhile. Of course one could say that time is always in demand around here, what with 4 sets of visitors coming over this past summer…or 4 family birthdays in the last 2.5 weeks. But what it DOESN’T mean is that you will get any less OAG goodness! In fact I have already been gathering some music for the next show and have found some great mashups to play. But in the meantime I have some homework for all my faithful listeners. I need to hear from as many of you as possible your feelings when it comes to music on the OAG podcast. As anyone who knows me even a bit would know, I love music and while I have enjoyed playing mashups and podsafe music over the three and a half years I have done this show, I am getting to the point that it takes me longer and longer to find stuff that I really enjoy and want to share in that vein. What I would really love to do is share some of the other music that I love and already have in my gigs and gigs of storage. Yes, we are talking about mainstream rock, pop etc. which brings along it’s share of legal complications. Having said that it seems more and more podcasters both large and small play un’podsafe’ music and don’t seem to have any issues. How is this and is it safe for me to do the same? What I want to hear from you folks is:

a) Do you enjoy music in the show in any form?

b) Do you have a preference as to what that music is?

c) Do you have any thoughts as to the whole ‘podsafe’ arguement?

D) Would you be willing to pay my legal bills if the RIAA comes knocking? (only kidding)

Please get back to me with your thoughts and in the meantime I will be putting together the next OAG!

Thanks,

Bob

9/11 and what it means to me

yourownpersonalgeek — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:00:50 +0000

Thought I would just take a few minutes and share some of my thoughts…this time in video format!

Guess who finally unpacked their podcasting gear!

yourownpersonalgeek — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 13:52:47 +0000

So, I finally unpacked my mics and mixers, got it all set up and found some time to record. Hope you enjoy the show!

Pancakes and Planes

yourownpersonalgeek — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:11:58 +0000

We got up to a beautiful morning and headed off to the Waunakee Air Park for their annual “Pancakes and Planes” breakfast. After a delicious breakfast and a bit of socializing we got a chance for a plane ride with some of the local pilots. Sara and Suzie went up in one and I went up alone in another (Steven opted out) and took the following video.

Note this was taken with my Canon HG-10 HiDef camcorder, so the downloads are big. I am putting a flash version (about 120MB) here along with an iPod compatible version (about 240MB).

The cow whisperers…

yourownpersonalgeek — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 01:46:17 +0000

When my sister and her family were visiting from Orlando, my wife and kids took them out to get up close and personal with some cows since my 3 year old nephew likes them. They took my new Canon HG10 HD camcorder with them and came home with this funny bit…so here it is!

The Cow Whisperers

Don’t you wish…

yourownpersonalgeek — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 04:13:22 +0000

Why I do what I do….

yourownpersonalgeek — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 19:50:30 +0000

Is there a better reason? As for all this online stuff…podcast..blog…twitter..etc, if and when I have free time again I may get back to it. But for now, life is too busy and my family is just that much more important.

Till then,

See ya!

Hold on while I answer the phone…

yourownpersonalgeek — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:18:16 +0000

Hold On while I answer the phone…

Lots of good old fashioned OAG stuff this time inluding mashups, sports talk and even (gasp!) politics!

Here are a few of the links I mentioned in today’s show.

Laura’s Justin.TV Channel

So, just what do I do here?

yourownpersonalgeek — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:35:29 +0000

As anyone who has even casually visited here over the course of the last year or so, the answer to the question in the title is….

Not Much

It started out as the place I would post my podcasts…then it became a vast wasteland for awhile. Next I tried to catch the podcasting bug again by taking part in NaPodPoMo . That only worked for a little more than a week. Soon, I started posting videos, whether from my Treo or from a web site. But even that faded quickly. Lately it has been playing with Twitter, but even that won’t last long. Then today I spent some time updating the software for this blog and adding Adsense etc and when I was done I sat back and looked at it all and said…

Why am I doing this?

Well, I pondered that for awhile and couldn’t answer it so I came up with this great idea…

Ask you all…

… the people who occasionally come here. After all you must come here for some reason. So what is it? What is it you want to see/hear here? By now you should all know a dozen or so ways to get hold of me. Use any of those methods or any new ones you can think of to let me know what you think. Who knows maybe this will all lead onto something bigger and better! At worst it will just lead to more of the same….

Thanks,

Bob

My sister the celebrity continued..

yourownpersonalgeek — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:37:01 +0000

Thanks to my friend Pete from The Pete and Renee Show helped capture the video of my sister so I could put it in my feed.

My sister the celebrity

yourownpersonalgeek — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:17:35 +0000

My sister, a music teacher in Orlando Florida, was surprised the other day when her students and some others ‘kidnapped’ her the day of their big holiday concert. You can read and see what happened here:

http://www.orlandosentinel.com/services/newspaper/printedition/thursday/localandstate/orl-teacher2007dec20,0,4019231.story

I am so happy that they were able to do this for her, as she does so much for others without ever doing anything for herself.

Carl is right!

yourownpersonalgeek — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:24:13 +0000

Saw this posted to one of my favorite Rutgers fan sites and thought you folks might enjoy it.

So, I was playing with my Treo 700wx and wondered if I could take video from it and post it in my feed and how it might show up on my iPod. I didn’t want it to be something big and realized right away what I could use. So without further adieu here is a few seconds of the incredible “Mr. Fissy”!

So, I am sitting on my laptop playing with Office 2007 and the numerous templates it has when I notice one called “New Blog Post”. Being the curious geek I am, I had to try it out. So, did it work?

[Edit] So, it looks like it posted just fine. Now can I edit it from here? Or even insert an enclosure?
