Geek of The North http://geekofthenorth.com Relaxed tech talk from Northern Michigan with Michael Dell Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:53:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 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.

As I type this I am in the Hotel room after we finished with the Tech Podcast Network coverage of the 2012 Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas. I’m beat up and tired. I’m looking forward to getting back to my normal sleep schedule. As tough as the schedule was, I’m very happy at how the coverage turned out. We shot over 250 product interviews both in our booth (also streamed live) and on the show floor with our 3 film crews.

The Experience of going to CES and going with such a diverse team was the highlight of my year so far (yeah, I know it’s only January). Meeting the people I’ve interacted with online for (in some cases) years and also re-meeting others that I’ve met before is a great honor and pleasure. It’s amazing to me that such a group can come together for a common goal and produce 40 plus hours of HD video content from all over a trade show that is the size of over 35 football fields.

I will talk a lot more about how all this came together and a bit of history about the Tech Podcast network’s coverage over the last 7 years on the next Geek Of The North which will be out on Tuesday Evening.

I plan on putting up some of the coverage here on Geek of the North with some embedded videos from TPN.TV over the next year. So be sure to check the website for some great tech goodness!

Off to bed for me. I’ll be back in the Michigan Saturday night and will likely sleep till showtime on Tuesday!

Till then, Catch me later!

    When I re-start Geek of the North I will be doing a video version. I doubt I will be doing it live, but it could happen on ustream.tv at some point. Right now I just want to get used to looking at a camera and doing the podcast. Today I put this test video file on here so I can get everything all setup.

    Watch for me on Roku, Boxee, iTunes and on your computer. I will be on the Techpodcast channel. Once I get that setup and going, GOTN will be on techpodcasts.tv.

    Lets hope my jump to video will be smooth :)

    Thanks!

    Catch me later…. -Mike
