(The idea for this post came from the backside of a Chipotle soft drink cup.)
If you read my blog, you probably know I took a short sabbatical from GeekBrief.TV to restore, refresh and renew.
I grew up in a small town in Arkansas and the thought that I might be able to make a living doing something creative when I grew up never crossed my mind. I just didn’t see examples of that. It was the third year of doing the show before I realized … I’m kind of professional writer now! Being able to be creative every day and get paid is amazing, but no matter what you do sometimes it’s best to kind of step away and not do what you usually do every day. I was able to do that thanks to Cali, of course, but also thanks to Dave Curlee.
Dave is a friend we met at WordCamp Dallas 2008. He and his wife Kat produce a cooking show called Cooking with Kat. It’s a cooking show for real people … kind of like what Rachael Ray does, except Dave and Kat have real kids who sometimes make appearances on the show. Kat’s recipes are simple and super tasty!
Dave has a passion for helping companies bring video to the Web. He believe every company, product, Web site and cause is better served when it uses video to communicate on the Web. He’s produced, directed, edited and published Web video for WordPress, OrderDog, Inc., Layered Tech, DSNews, and of course GeekBrief.TV.
He has a great video on his Web site, DaveCurlee.com, where he explains the basics of what you need to know if you’re interested in creating your own Web video. You might want to follow him on Twitter and @davecurlee if you have any video questions or would like to hire him to help with your video project.

Now here are a couple of awesome peeps that I’ve been fortunate to get to know personally. I found out about Dave & Kat when they did a segment of GBTV with you and Cali. We began tweeting and of course I followed their great video podcast cooking show. Ultimately because of the kindness of you and Cali I was able to come to Texas and actually meet them and even do a cooking show episode with Kat. Real People.. Real Cooking.. I love them. Thanks for introducing us!
You guys are too kind. WE feel it is an HONOR to know YOU, Neal!! Your belief in us, your shared passion for our show and your kindness, hospitality and generocity are more than we could have ever bargained for. True friends come from the Lord…I believe that with all my heart. I find it no mistake that He put you in our lives for that very purpose…to be true friends. Thank you for your post…you made Dave’s day…
