Geek of The North » Broadcasting http://geekofthenorth.com Blog & Broadcasts from your Geek Online Technology Coach from the Northwoods of Michigan Thu, 10 May 2012 18:24:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Every week I talk about the Tech items that are on my mind, answer questions from listeners and maybe try to explain something in the tech world that is on the offbeat side of tech. I talk about some tech subjects that traditional tech shows don't talk about. Such as, but not limited to, Aviation, Broadcasting, Farm Tech, Automotive, ham radio and medical. I also tend to talk a lot about Google Services. You can be a geek about anything and Technology isn't limited to computers and cell phones.

Today I talk about my history of online audio (podcasting) and do a demo of different setups I use.

I do my audio podcasts using the Heil PR-40 Mic most of the time but sometimes I use a cheaper BEHRINGER XM8500 dynamic mic. I always use my Roland R-05 recorder instead of recording into the computer.

Enjoy!

Thanks for listening!

As Dylan said, “The times, they are a changing”.

Today I killed off the remaining 2 podcast shows I had out there (Mike Dell’s World and Retrotech). I’m folding those into this show (Geek of the North). Since I AM “THE Geeek of the North”, I figured I would consolidate all of my online broadcasting and business onto one website. As I explain in the episode, It will make it easier for me to keep up with and create great content instead of half-assed efforts on many channels.

The plan is to do at least 1 long form audio show every week (and it could be more) and fold in segments for Mike Dell’s World (my personal stuff), Retrotech (interviews about old stuff), What’s up With That and the normal geeky tech news and views I’ve always tried to do here at Geek of the North. All from a Geeky perspective. I will also do a shorter form video (15-20min) episode a week with the audio coming out on the audio feed as well.

I will also be doing a LOT more blogging and youtube videos.

My business (Boonadello Marketing) will move here also and be re-branded to Geek of the North. Why not? Drinking my own cool-ade tastes good!

Stay Tuned and thank you for your support!

Catch me later!

-Mike

KVLY-TV in in Fargo is the user of this 2,063 ft broadcasting tower. Built in 1963 for KTHI (HI referring to the hight of the mast)

World's Tallest Tower?

The tower is located three miles west of Blanchard, North Dakota, halfway between Fargo and Grand Forks. It became the tallest artificial structure upon the completion of its construction on 13 August 1963. The mast was surpassed in height by 57 ft (17 m) in 1974 by the Warszawa radio mast near Konstantynów, Poland, which collapsed on 8 August 1991, making the KVLY-TV mast again the tallest structure on land.

It looks like it’s no longer the tallest man made structure on land. It is surpassed by Burj Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates which stands at 2,320 feet and is still not complete.

You won’t be seeing me climbinig this thing anytime soon.. There is an elevator in the tower which I would consider a ride in at some point.
