How to Succeed in New Media

I ended my last post with a question: What can I do for you? Shamir Katsu asked what he could do to reproduce the “Geek Brief miracle.” If you already know the GeekBrief.TV Story, jump down to the last paragraph.
My wife and I used to do Web design and development during the time Internet culture was starting [...]

Brief 400 and Bluegrass

Our littlest dog Zoe woke me up early with a request to go outside. When I got back to the room, I couldn’t fall back asleep. We’re on a road trip from Dallas to Chicago because a couple friends who own a restaurant in Highland Park, IL are having a BBQ emergency and we decided [...]

Tricaster and Cali Live

Spending money in new media is a tricky thing. Everything we do costs much, much less than antique media, but it isn’t exactly cheap. Lighting for the Big Trip cost just under $6000. That’s a lot, but it’s a choice that will make sense for the next several years.
Usually when we buy something for production, [...]

The Neal Show #4

Twitter friends MAY, and I do mean may, want to listen to TNS #4, but only because @Jeffmccord (aka, Moxie Wine) stopped by for some conversation. If you are NOT a twitter friend, my regular advice that you not listen to this show still applies.
I was using the Heil Classic Pro. It’s a mic I love, [...]

The Neal Show # 3

It’s interesting that TNS #3 is exactly the same length as TNS #2…EXACTLY!
Beyond that, it was nice to have William the Graduated Geek Brief Intern (aka, Dr Pepper) join us to talk about the Dallas WordPress meetup this Saturday.
Details are on William’s Blog.
I still cannot recommend listening to this, but here’s the link.
The show [...]

Another Stupid Neal Show You Should Ignore

I really think anyone who listens to this is sweet, but could probably spend their time in a better way. Oh well.

Don’t Listen to My Stupid Show

Don’t listen to my show, unless you’re bored to tears. I’m calling it The Neal Show. Cleaver, huh?

Using Levelator with Final Cut Pro

Max Murphy is a teen podcaster who produces a show called Mac News Weekly. He’s a HUGE friend of GeekBrief.TV. 
At the end of Max’s latest episode, the audio on the credits is a lot louder than his audio on the show. I used to do that all the time on Geek Brief. Levelator is an [...]

The Future of Flash at PodShow is Beautiful

This week we got a peek at what flash video will look like on the PodShow network. It’s beautiful.Adam Curry says they’re waiting for greater user adoption of the latest version of flash before PodShow does the upgrade. The conversion process is expensive, so the wait makes sense.I think it would be really cool if PodShow created a [...]

Brief #319

We’ve been doing GeekBrief.TV for over two years and Brief #319 is the most difficult episode we’ve ever produced. It wasn’t hard to write. It wasn’t hard to shoot and producing the video was just like any other day. The hard part is that we refer to a video we produced that will appear on [...]
