Website update

by Mike on 01/31/2010

As you can see, I’ve been tweaking and tweaking the look of this website. Partly because I could never get it “just right” and partly because I’m having a ball learning more and more about WordPress.

As you also know, I’ve had a couple of false starts on launching the podcast. Part of that is I was trying to do a show that isn’t my style. Much like Strange Today. That was a great podcast, but it wasn’t “me” and if I can’t just be me, then I’m not motivated to do it on a regular basis.

So, to that end, I’ve widened the scope of what I want this show to be. It’s going to be ME talking about the tech subjects that I like to talk about in a way that I like to talk about them. Relaxed, unscripted and comfortable. Like I’m talking to you over a beer or cup of coffee. I hope you will like the new format.

I’m also going to be sticking to a strict schedule. (yeah, I’ve said that before) So, anyway… My schedule is as follows:

Monday: No Podcasts. Use this for Web work
Tuesday: Record Mike Dell’s World (main feed)
Wednesday: Other recording projects (like BanjoTrax on Ed’s Mixed Bag)
Thursday: Record Geek Of The North
Friday: Record What’s Up With That (once in a while) and/or record the ***yet to be named new show with co-host***

Unscheduled: ipadio updates (see www.mikedell.com for info on that) and / or record Mike Dell’s World (unplugged feed) Also, record for www.flightradio.com as needed.

I want to take my podcasting to the next level of dependability.

I really appreciate that you take a slice of time out of your week to listen to me and I think it’s only fair that I make sure I’m there for that time, every time and all the time.

About

by Mike on 04/15/2009

Hi, I’m Mike Dell. (no, not that one) And being a geek about Aviation, Radio, Broadcasting, Cars, Tractors and Motorcycles I figured I would do a podcast that reflects those interests and leave the cellphone and computer stuff to the other great podcasts out there. Geek Of The North will be a weekly audio podcast and the blog will be updated as needed to keep you up to date on your favorite off-beat tech stuff. I’m happy to bring it to you from the North Coast of the USA (Northern Michigan). If you have any news or comments you would like for me to see, either comment here on the blog or send me an email at geekofthenorth (at) gmail dot com.

If you are a geek about Air Traffic Control please visit my long un-updated (but soon to be updated) site www.flightradio.com

For my personal blog/podcast check out www.mikedell.com. A Show about nothing according to Mike James over at www.thinksmedia.com

Enjoy!
