I know the Big Trip is on hold and youins are changing things up, but I thought I would turn you on to another website that documented 9 cross county summer vacations. http://www.cross-country-trips.com/

It inspired me and I’m on a three year plan to try to make that dream happen.

Also the site is one of the best uses of Drupal I’ve seen.

Hello,

I was sent the link to this story by a family member. I do freelance video editing with Final Cut Pro. My website is at http://www.ericcockhill.com

I’m not sure what you need and what hours – but I thought I would express interest.

Thanks,

Eric

Loved the ‘trilogy’ on how you two got started in podcasting. Good luck as you move into 2009. Here’s to many more years and an expanded NC channel/community of entertainment.

You probably have tons of volunteers, but I’d love to work for your show. Willing to learn anything!

…looking forward to the ‘09 shows!! Rock on!

Congratulations on the new home. I’m really looking forward to your adventure. I have used X10 in past homes and I’m about to begin automating and securing our current home. Where money is no object, there are lots of cool choices. It would be really helpful to be able to better compare options for specific tasks. Keep up the great work.

P.S. I really miss the show note links for your podcasts in iTunes, since 11/23. I know we can get them on the website, but it was great to have them handy with the podcast.

Yay … a house! That means equity, plenty of room with privacy and a place for the dogs to run and play while you two geek out the house. I’ll follow along with the show notes and visit the featured web sites. Congradulations Mrs and Mr GeekBrief.TV homeowners! :-) Geek the place to the rafters! ^..^~

Cali/Neal – I stumbled upon Geekbrief last week (just two days before Christmas). I’m not passionate about gadgets (excuse for not discovering you earlier) but have quickly become fond of podcasting. Over the last 4 days I watched every gb episode and youtube video I could find on you guys. Your story is incredibly inspirational (and somewhat spiritual…but I’ll hold on elaborating). Best wishes as you enter 2009!!!

Cool that you guys are expanding. Too bad you aren’t in the MD area, I’m game for some evening/weekend interning, heh.

Looking forward to 09 and your impressions on the video aspect of the 5DmkII. It’ll be interesting to compare to my own.

Congratulations on the new house. I expect the next surprise you will have for us is a new addition to the Geekbrief family and I don’t mean that helper you need to hire. Happy New Year!

TIP: Overdubs should be done in the same environment if possible!

akk.. i forgot to ask something i wondered about alot, and that is, what compression scheme to do you use for your ‘Small’ format? It plays incredibly well on an iPhone screen and requires surprisingly little bandwidth. I think i started to notice this a few months ago, i dunno if you guys changed anything at some point over the summer?

In comparision to what they offer @ revision3 for ‘iphone bandwidth’ quality, yours is miles ahead, with virtually zero compression artifacts visible. And yet it doesnt seem to be that much bandwidth hungri..er, at all!

i wish the guys at revision3 would take notice, seriously.
keep up the good werk and best of luck for all you undertake in 09, to both of you, and everyone who contributes to it.

glimpse into the credit crisis before anyone else? its been talked about by experts for a good 3 years now. Just no one [wanted to] believe them. Anyway.

about the big trip, i just wondered why you couldnt offset a large/entire part of the cost via some sponsorship deal with whoever you choose to go with. It would be a great showcase of their product no doubt and im sure you have large & varied enough an audience to make something like that enticing.

My two cents.

Cali and Neal. I love watching your show and it has been a great demonstration for me to get my own shows going. I am not doing tech stuff, so no competition there. I am going to be doing environmental stuff instead. But I want to run things the same way that you do and I am trying to figure out how to do all of that. Having the back story helps!

Of all the GeekBrief video I’ve watched, many, this is easily the best by far–editing etc.! The talent even excels beyond her norm.
