The Trials and Tribulations of running a Website

Hey Geeks.

So... remember that Lobo/Superman playset build I was going to post a Vlog on? The one from the last post?

Yeah... about that. Something happened.

Sometimes the learning curve is steep, especially when you're learning a program or two and trying to work around a problem.

My problem was that the microphone I decided to use was a Sony FV300, which I snagged for free, which is a single channel mike and plays only on the left channel. I decided that I would try to extract the audio from Movie Maker and import the audio into Audacity and use it so that the audio would be played through both the left and right channels. The problem is that Movie Maker saves Audio as an MP4A which Audacity doesn't recognize.

After running through several ideas I tried using an online file translator which supposedly would change the file from MP4A to MP3.

After running through however I couldn't find the file. I have no idea where it saved it to.

I seemed to have more than one MP4A of the file on my computer though.

In frustration I deleted all the various copies and went back to extract the audio from the video again only to find out that the audio in the video was gone. Did I mention that I had deleted the audio. So of course I deleted the video only to realize that I could have recovered all of them through the recycle bin. By the time I realized this the recycle bin had gone through its self cleaning.

So I'm going to re-record the spot. I wasn't entirely happy with the video anyway so maybe things worked out well.

Ugh.

I've been eyeing the book Talk to Me: How to Ask Better Questions, Get Better Answers, and Interview Anyone Like a Pro by Dean Nelson for some time now. However every time I had a little money to spend there was always something else that needed to be picked up or had more value in my mind.   I was delighted then when I found out that the book was available as an audio book via Audible. Even better I had a monthly credit available and no other books in their repetoir were calling out to me. So with a click I am finally getting to, not read, but experience this book on my ride to and from work. It couldn't have come at a better time.  I've been looking for a podcast idea of my own that would allow me to try out my own journalistic skills. It's occurred to me on more than one occasion that I've been very fortunate in my lifetime to have been able to meet and befriend some very talented people. People like Laurie Smith and George Freeman, Lar DeSouza and others.  Init

Oh yeah, that's a strip

Sometimes the strips featured on Meet the Geeks are based on reality. And often I find myself in these moments quoting Clay "aannnd... That's a strip"  Take last night for example.  Spring and I have a love/hate relationship. I love spring for the resurrection of life, fewer bugs and cooler pre-summer temperatures. I hate spring because of my allergies, and they have been acting up with a vengeance.  Last night I was sent to bed by my wife around 7:30. I was exhausted and in need of a good, solid nights sleep.  After crawling into bed and dozing for a bit I started feeling the first tickles of an itch forming. I tried to ignore it. But sometimes it just feels so damned satisfying to scratch. And scratch I did.  For the next several hours.  It got to the point that I was trying to draw blood because pain is better than those itches. The ones at your joints. The ones that scurry around under your skin as your scratching fingers desperatel

MTG... Meet the Geeks? No! Magic the Gathering!

By -
  Let's go way back into the far-flung past and visit a young CoreyGeek. I really can't remember when I first found out about Magic the Gathering but I do remember that I bought my first deck from our local 7-11. I didn't know much about it but I would learn. There were many an evening where myself and a friend would be slinging cards, in his basement or mine, playing multiple games per evening. I recall having an affinity for Black and remember being told, no, you can't play your plague-rat deck.  Buzzkill. I played for several years into my twenties until my attentions were drawn elsewhere and I eventually stopped playing altogether. Now at forty-six I found myself at local game store  Amuse N Games  picking up a couple of Planeswalker decks and being utterly confused at the transformation that the game has undergone in the last thirty years.  To be frank I never would have imagined that the Game, made by Wizards of the Coast, would remain so popular for this amount o
