Take Real Vacations!

When you start a business you love, you may be tempted to put 100% of your time and energy during waking hours into making it a success. Cali and I have done that with GeekBrief.TV. Even when we took time off from the show, we used the time to work on parts of the business [...]

Music City Unites for Haiti

This is much better than the We Are the World Remake, but it isn’t a competition. It’s about helping where help is needed.

Wow! Look at God!

The people who know me best know I’m going through one of the most difficult times in my life. People who believed in me hoped and prayed I would get to this point as soon as I could … the point where I stopped trying to conquer life the way that makes sense to me. [...]

Geoff Smith Documentary Project

Our friend Geoff Smith is finishing his next album and we were chatting about the process. I got really interested in how he’s doing it because he is such a new media savvy musician. I asked him if I could come to Nashville for a week and shoot a little documentary about it.
Since we started [...]

Joy, as defined by my theological upbringing is different than happiness. Happiness is based on what happens. Happiness is like rain. Joy comes from the inside [...]

Macworld 2009

We’re planning ahead for our MacWorld coverage in January. We want to do something different that the typical tradeshow floor interviews and product features. After all, it’s Apple and Apple encourages to think different.
We booked a hotel room and we’ll be in San Francisco from January 4th – 10th. Capturing video is easy. Post-production isn’t [...]

Shooting GeekBrief.TV at the State Fair of Texas

Saturday we’re having a meetup at The Great State Fair of Texas. In addition to the Corney Dogs, Fried Green Tomatoes and (added this year) Chicken Fried Bacon, I’m particularly excited that we’ll be able to shoot some episodes of GeekBrief.TV in a smart home exhibit put together by women engineers called SmartHouse: On the [...]

The Enemies of Strong Women

Sarah Palin stood up to the good ‘ol boys in Alaska and now they’re out to get her. It’s pretty hilarious. Apparently … according to the crappy ass guys … Sarah Palin is PRO rape.
I know her enemies want to paint her as a radical, but no one is THAT radical. Here’s the stuff they’d [...]
