Hiatus and Mad Hatter’s Party

I’m taking the Radical Geek on hiatus for the podcast.  I hope to get some addition equipment like a a shotgun mic, a mounting bracket and a new laptop.  My old laptop is broken and needs to get replaced.  Also it’s getting hard to find people to interview on my show but hopefully I can get working on it.  If you have any suggestions send them to radicalgeek at gmaildotcom.  In other news is that I had an idea of nerdy music show called the Mad Hatter’s Party.  It will be having nerdcore hip hop, comedy music, chip tunes, and video game music.  Only problem with this is money, so it will most likely not happen.

New Equipment

I just bought a new camcorder and tripod for the podcast.  Now I can get a stable video and can attach a microphone to it to get the sound
better.

Press Pass

Now I have a press pass so that I can be identified as a member of the press.

Radical Geek in 2012

Looking forward to the new year and where I want to take my video podcast. Last post I talked about getting a new camera. I thought of some other things that I would love to change. For one having my own domain maybe useful. I know someone is squatting on radicalgeek.com. Would rather have radicalgeek.net. Also thinking of having ads on my video. That would take a business address. So I was thinking of a P.O, Box. The idea with the kickstarter page may not be a bad idea to raise funds for a video camera and tripod. Since I’m going to go to events I think that press credentials may also be a good thing to have. I hope that 2012 will be better year for the Radical Geek.

I need a real camera

I has at Interlock Rochester, the local hacker space, experimenting with the microphone connected to my camera and not on my camera. There is no difference between the two. So I have to get a camcorder with an external microphone jack. That is my next goal.

Episode 3 and No Feedback

It’s been a while since I posted but I want to give you an update on the next episode that’s in the works.  I have subject matter for the next 3 episodes.  I plan to have a show on a local hacker space Interlock Rochester, local software company No Tie Software, and paranormal researchers First Hand Paranormal.

I see that people haven’t been giving me feedback to my videos or blog postings.  Am I that boring or uninteresting?  Can I get your feedback on that?

Sound Quality

Just listening to my latest episode and I find that the sound quality could be better. I need to get a better setup.

New Video Host: Blip.tv

Working on Episode 2 and I have switched from Vimeo to Blip.tv as my video host. The advantages is that it will let me include links to download the video so you can place it on a smart phone or media device. Also it will let my video be distributed itunes.
