Projects update

First an update on SpaceVidcast.com. Site is coming along nicely. The live stream is up and counting down to the STS-123 launch.

The UStream.tv banner is complete and I think it looks really nice:

While the Spacevidcast thing is wrapping up I’m starting two other projects. One is a lifecast of sorts. This is my replacement to the Technology Evangelist podcasts, but a wee bit different. I have set up my office with audio and video and I am setting up my home office with similar equipment. I’ll be doing off-the-cuff technology shows live and recording them and doing a little TubeMogul distribution of sorts. Unlike the TE shows where you had to tune in at a specific time, this you will be able to watch 24×7. Unlike lifecasting where 95% of it is boring in this scenario we’ll be switching between streams and people to keep the conversation going. Should be a lot of fun. Look for more info here later.

The next project I’m working on is part of the TechCompass.com network. This is still in formation so I can’t say too much. Not because it is confidential but because I simply don’t know yet. More deets on this project as I bring the lifecasting project online and Spacevidcast becomes a well oiled machine.

All of this AND I have a full time job. Early in the week I will be deploying new anti-virus software to replace an aging Trend Micro system, deploying a new backup solution, fixing the date/time problem on a few really old servers, and just generally keeping the system running.

My time will be stretched pretty thin, but in the end I believe the new media projects are well worth it. My past is in media, my future will be in media. Media is what I love to do, it is what I was born for. I’m good at Information Technology (IT), I’m *great* at live TV and I love the new Internet live streaming. Monetization here I come!
