From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Now we can torture you with audio as well as text!

Hey, remember that poll about whether or not you ever listened to the PowerUser.TV or Under The Skin?  Well, that was a bit of a prelude to a project Island Dog and I have been working on.  After some technical glitches, a lot of slip-ups and other complications we're finally ready to unveil the WinCustomize Skincast!

Where PU.TV was a longer podcast that covered a lot of topics, and UTS was a very infrequent podcast that came up with a new episode every few months, SkinCast aims to be a short, weekly podcast covering misc topics from the skinning community. 

Today, I bring you our first episode.  Remember this is our first podcast so please excuse our flubs, stutters, or other audio issues, we're still learning the ropes here.  Please leave any feedback you have on our first effort on the comments below.

Things I laughed at:
  • Moderators with "wife" issues
  • Bryce renders
The artist features were great.  The product feature (Vue) was interesting enough.
Looking forward for more.

I obviously need to work on clarity of speech.  Moderatores with LIFE issues

"The palm trees, don't forget the palm trees."   Funny stuff.


Do we have to be 'on air'? Is there anyway to post questions, etc to the show in advance?
on Apr 22, 2008
Yes, you can PM me directly with any questions you want answered.  I'd like to do two or three per episode if possible.

I'm also going to try and get our Skype Voicemail setup so anyone can leave a recorded question or comment that we can play on air.

Are you going to try and schedule skinners to join you in advance so that if people have specific questions for different skinners they can know ahead of time that person is going to be on and leave you questions for them?

Or maybe the opposite direction and if you get a few questions directed at a specific skinner try and get them to join you?

I'm sure we can do that as well.

I am getting a voicemail box setup right now, so if you have any questions in the next day or so you would like to have recorded, just let me know.

It was very good, brings back the old days of PUTV and UTS. You both work well together, its in my list to be downloaded, so i look forward to the next one. Not sure why you would want me, but if you think it might be interesting, id be willing to be on the show, not sure what i could bring to it. Keep 'em coming.
