One Day Delay | August 23, 2006

I, Jonathan Nation, editor, went on a trip this past weekend. I learned something that I wish I had known before the trip. My laptop we use to record the shows is not powerful enough, or something, to edit the shows.

I was in the woods, on a mountain in a cabin, with electricity, attempting to edit the show for tonight. It just would not work. Might be the hard drive is too full.

Tonight I worked on it and just was not happy with the results, thus I am up against the post time and made the decision to delay the start of this interview. I expect that we will release this one Tuesday – Saturday then Monday and Tuesday. The good news is we already have a second interview recorded and will start editing it as soon as this first is done.

Quick Update | August 16, 2006

A break for you this week, but not for us. We have two interviews scheduled for this Thursday and a couple more in a couple weeks. We even have some celebrity types talking with us to do an interview with them, but working schedules is the hard part.

As summer ends and many people get back from vacation, we should be back to our regular schedule.

We want to thank those of you who have sent us comments, filled out our survey, shared a free segment with a friend, and put a link on your blog or other website.
