Geek of the North TV - with Mike Dell http://geekofthenorth.com Video Broadcast from a Geek in Northern Michigan with Mike Dell Thu, 10 May 2012 18:24:03 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=Geek of the North TV - with Mike Dell 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 talked about traveling lite using just the iPad, Droid and Kindle rather then bringing along my computer. I have a trip planned next week that I will test this and report back.

I’m going to a Ford event in San Francisco on Monday to drive the new Escape SUV for Geek News Central. Should be a fun time!

Google Plus changed! YUCK!

Catch me Later!

This is just a quick video of me Unboxing a 3rd Generation iPad (or iPad HD/iPad3 if you want).

This was the second one I unboxed and the first one I unboxed was taking the video for the second one’s unboxing.

So far I like the iPad 3rd Gen. As I have said before, I don’t know exactly what use I have for it, but I find it’s fun to sit in the easy chair and just surf the web. My wife loves it, so it’s likely it’s “Her” iPad. The other one I got is for my Mom and Dad. We pre-ordered them together and got them on the 16th of March via UPS.

Catch me later in the week for a full review in the audio version of the podcast (Geek of the North Radio).

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!
