Dude, I have my own show!

That's right, the world is in serious trouble now. I learned about USTREAM and now I have my own talk show. I'm calling the the Geek Dad Lab Show, it is an extension to what I'm writing about on my blog plus a few more ideas I might come up with. 

I'm planning to start the show at 9:00pm each night, sometime after the kids at asleep and I've organized myself with topics to talk about. This is going to be a blast and I can't wait to have live interaction with my audience. I even have the ability to include viewers with webcams in my show, so be ready to go live with me if you are so inclined.

A Video Tease for my UStream Geek Show

 

In my last post I talked about Geeking out over my new photo gear. Here is a video of me introducing that gear and how I'm using it to expand my photography skills. Keep in mind I'm clearly not a professional photographer, but I do know my way around a camera. I also know there are lots of people out there who are buying Digital SLR cameras hoping their family photos will turn out better. This UStream show is for people who want to make sense of those dials and menus to make your next family album a show stopper. 

The url for this show is http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tony-zerrer. I'm planning to start the show tonight around 8:30pm pacific time (after the kids are fast asleep). Viewers can participate in the chat room and ask me questions during the show. Be sure to have your camera ready. If your computer has a webcam you can be on the show as well. It's going to be lots of fun.

Getting Set for a Live Training

I'm way into cameras. I'm not a pro, but I know my way around photography. Through my research on the Internet, I found few good resources for people to quickly grasp the fundamentals.

To smooth that learning curve I decided to produce a UStream show devoted to learning digital photography. This show is directed at the growing number of people who own an SLR camera and have no idea how to use it. While point-and-shoot owners can participate, I don't think many of them are interested in moving beyond their camera's "Auto" mode.

I welcome anyone to watch the show. I'm planning to start tomorrow morning. I think I might start at 6:00am Pacific time.

I'm an Internet Star on UStream

I just learned about this great service called UStream. The idea is you can broadcast yourself live on the Internet, kind of like having your own live TV show complete with fans chatting live while your doing your thing. I thought I'd try this out and start a show about photography since I'm a geek and like playing with these gadgets. This show is about shutter speed and how it changes exposure. Check out the recorded version of my live show.

I was hesitant to start a show, fearing I'd make a fool out of myself, but I don't think anyone even watched it. I also didn't know I had the chat window disabled so I couldn't interact with my audience even if I had one. Next time I plan to tweet out my show in advance and broadcast to as many people as possible. I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
