ThinkComputers has really not done that much video, although we should! All of the videos on ThinkComputers prior to a month ago were mixed in with videos on my personal YouTube page. This was an issue for many reasons so I decided one to create a channel specifically for ThinkComputers and to produce more video content.
So the ThinkComputers YouTube Channel was launched! I have done a good job so far keeping it updated. I want to post at least 1 video a week if not more. Right now we are doing a lot of unboxing videos, but we also will be doing video reviews, game reviews, and event coverage!
Another great thing about having a separate YouTube channel for ThinkComputers is that I am able monetize the videos to start making money from them. This not only will put some extra money in my pocket, but keep me more motivated to keep on producing videos.
Check out the ThinkComputers YouTube channel and let me know what you think! If you like the channel make sure you subscribe!
A while back I logged my hours and I came out only working 20 hours a week! This was back in 2007 so how many hours a week and I working now in 2011? Well at the end of the week we will find out! I feel like I am much more productive these days and I am getting more work done. This is a perfect way to see if I actually am! The main reason I am doing this is to see how exactly I am spending my days and which days I work the longest.
I am using an iPhone app called aTimeLogger to log my hours. This app is really cool and easy to use. If you want to keep track of anything such as work time, workout time, sleep time etc it is the perfect app and it saves all your data so you can look at it months later.
So how many hours do you think I will work this week? I am going to be tracking for a full 7 days. The average person works around 40 hours a week, so let’s see if I get around that mark. Anyways hope everyone is enjoying their Monday!
If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus and other social networks you know I use Instagam a lot. In the past year it has replaced twitpic as my daily photo program. I really enjoy Instagram and you can create some really cool photos with it. So I have decided to share my photos with you each week. I will be posting 5 of my favorite photos during the past week. Let me know if you enjoy these posts!
Well the other night I went back and read every post I’ve ever written on this blog. I think I just wanted to look back over the past 6 years, but I noticed something. Up until a few years ago I was really being personal, talking about what was going on in my life, how my business’s were going etc. I honestly love reading those posts again, seeing how motivated I was and seeing the encouragement from friends and other people who commented on the blog.
Well after a night of thinking I really need to start blogging like that again. No only is it a good way to start up a great conversation again (no one really comments here anymore!) but it is also a great way for people to see what I am going through and how things are going. This also is going to serve as good motivation to get back in to personal blogging. I admit for the past 2 years this blog has been quite dormant, so hopefully I will be keeping it up to date like I used to.
One thing I really enjoyed about blogging back then was the group of bloggers I became friends with. As of right now only 2 of those people maintain blogs now. So I am going to start looking for some great personal blogs to check out and comment on. Obviously this blog will not be all personal things, I will still be talking about things that interested me, giving you tips and other things I want to write about.
Stay tuned a lot of great post are to come!
PodCamp Pittsburgh 6 was this past weekend and it was a blast! PodCamp is a free conference that is put on to teach people about blogging, social media, podcasting and much more. I didn’t attend PodCamp last year so I was interested to see what sessions there would be this year. PodCamp started on Saturday and there were sessions from 9am to noon then lunch. I ended up going out the night before so I made it down to PodCamp around noon, just in time for lunch!
At lunch I met up with Jerimiah and Kelly. At lunch they had a huge projector screen showing everyone tweeting about the event. We sat down and ended up meeting some other cool people like Thomas and Amy. This is what is so great about PodCamp is you meet so many great people who are interested in the same thing as you and it is so easy to strike up a conversation with people. After lunch I went to the rest of the sessions during the day.
During each hour block there are up to 5 different sessions so you had to pick the one your really wanted to go to. Most of the sessions I went to throughout the weekend were about social media, but I did attend a few on blogging as well. Out of all the sessions I did attend my favorite was the Myths About Social Media with Justin Kownacki. He has been working in social media for a while now and it was great to hear some of his insights.
Once again PodCamp Pittsburgh was a great event and I am glad I attended this year! If there is a PodCamp in your area I highly suggest you attend!
