Rocking the Torrent, Heading to Podcast Expo


Hey all,
Long time no speak. So it is official, I am the new host of Torrent and I have shot my first 2 episodes. They went pretty good, 0bviously stuff to work on, but nonetheless, I am having a fun time hosting. I understand fans are gonna be upset that Amac isn't hosting any more, but hopefully the focus can be more on the podcasts than my dumb ass! Next week Kate and I are heading to Ontario, California for the Podcast and Portable Media Expo. We are gonna shoot an episode of Torrent and she is gonna be my field producer. It will be a lot o' fun but I need this weekend to relax as I know it is gonna be crazy next week. We leave Thurs. Sept. 28th and we are coming back Sunday October 1st and the following week (Oct. 3-6) is Call For Help .
On to more fun news, the Bruins beat the Habs last night (oh yeah and the night before Habs Fan!)
so things are looking good for the B's in pre-season...however...uh it is only pre-season so I won't brag too loudly. Anyway, all is well in T.O. can't wait for Friday at 5:00 p.m.

Jesus, It's September...and I am Trying Not to Be Grumpy!


Ok so just to confirm, did it take 4 or 5 days for July and August to pass us by? What a crazy fast summer! Ah well, with summer out of the way that means that our trip to England/Ireland is that much closer. Only 2 months till I will be sipping on Guinness in an Irish pub.
Sooooo the update...I shot an episode of Torrent (with me on camera) this last Saturday at the GameExpo in Toronto. I was Amber's co-host and I think I did a pretty good job. You never really can tell until you get feedback from people. So if subscribe to G4TechTV check out Torrent episode 20 at 20:00 this Saturday (Sept. 9) and email me some feedback.
So Kate is going mad with TIFF, I am trying to work out what to do with the recent departure of Amber MacArthur from G4TechTV (congrats again Amac!) and hockey doesn't start until October 4th. It truly is a 'Wake Me Up When September Ends" moment!
Recently, a bunch of work friends got together to have some drinks...now generally Kate and I have a rule about hanging out with people you work with (I mean nothing against them, they are all great people, but I spend 40 hours a week with them!) but nonetheless some fun pictures are available here. Now that I think of it, I probably wouldn't have met Kate (well at least so quickly) had we not been at a work gathering...so they can't be all that bad!
