Xmas time, podcasting and weird ramblings.

Hello the internets, its’ been a while since I lasted posted and I feel bad about that. Things at the homestead are going well: Chris and Caitlin are trying their darnest to drive Jen and I insane. Jessalyn is getting bigger by the day, and is starting to create her own words for things. None of it we can understand but its cute that she tries anyhow.

• I was a guest on the “Bar Nuts” podcast last week.
• Steve and I got another GeekFit recorded yesterday.

Speaking of GeekFit here are some stats that I think are pretty interesting:

• 160 is the average number of downloads per day.
• Episode #3 is our most popular at 665 downloads last month.
• The majority of our incoming search queries include the words “potato” “leek” “soup” – 170 people this month and last found our website because of the post Scott made regarding potato leek soup.
• We’ve had 2 phone calls and 1 fax to our GeekFit podcast hot line. One was a wrong number and the fax was a blank page. (206) 350-GFIT. Man, our listeners really don’t like leaving voicemails. Either that they are scared that Steve will call them back!
• Our most popular day was on October 3rd 2006 when we were mentioned on Keith and the Girl. That one mention got us 10,000 hits that day alone. What’s funny is they didn’t even link to us on the site. Who says people don’t remember a URL and visit it later?
• We currently have 58 people in our Traineo group so far.
• There are 22 people in our SparkPeople Team.
• Since February of this year I’ve lost 22lbs. I really hope to get down to 225.

After the holidays I’m going to be producing more EverythingTech.tv episodes. I have a ton of stuff queued up for me to work on and I’m pretty excited about it. If you have a suggestions for the show drop me a comment. I also mentioned on GeekFit a small project I’m going to be working on for EverythingTech.tv.
My Mom, Brandon (my brother) and I were part of my Mom’s first Skype videocall yesterday. She planning on moving to Arizona pretty soon so we were testing Skype and showing her how easy it is to use. We tried to add a 3rd person into the videoconference but I guess skype doesnt allow for that without using a 3rd party plugin. Sorry for bugging you for no reason Scott!
I’m debating on turning off my personal email for 2-3 weeks to see if all these spammers will get bouncebacks and leave me the hell alone. I did this a few years ago and it cut my spam intake from 300 emails a day to 10. Maybe I’ll do this again.
