McIntosh MXA60 Bookshelf System

Most of you know by now that I tend to appreciate some of the finer things in life. I have a habit of picking up exotic cars, I have no problem with a $3,000 set of kitchen knives, and I like to fly first classon occasion.

So, I was a little excited when McIntosh Labs sent over a brand spankin’ new MXA60 bookshelf audio system for review. After all, you can’t exactly run down to Best Buy and pick one up. You’re going to have to locate a dealer and then dish out $7,500 to be one of the few people fortunate enough to own one of these babies.

After hanging on to the MXA60 for a couple of months it managed to make me do something that very, very few products do. Love it. Lets start with my video review from GeekBeat.TV.

The John P. and Frederick V. Show – SEO Interview Galore!

April 22, 2010 By 6 Comments

Hey folks, a couple of weeks ago the very eminent, most gracious, and quite handsome (the invoice is in the mail) Frederick Van Johnson and I sat down at opposite ends of the Internet table for a cozy discussion geared towards photographers.

We talked about life, love, Woopra and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for photographers. I will point out that much of the discussion was applicable for just about any website you have although the intention was to answer specific questions that appeal to the needs of those of us who have a thing for lenses. Feel free to take a listen…

Geoff Smith Performs Bohemian Rhapsody Live

April 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The Geoff Smith put on a live concert from Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell’s house in December 2009. I was there, and I captured this live performance of Bohemian Rhapsody.

The video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens. I was sitting directly in front of Geoff, with the camera less than 3 feet from his head. Audio is straight off the camera, so it’s merely “acceptable”.

John P. on Net@Night with Amber Mac and Leo Laporte

November 3, 2009 By 2 Comments

net@nightAbout a week and a half ago Amber Mac and Leo Laporte were kind enough to have me on the net@night show to discuss Woopra.

We had a great time and they were very gracious hosts. I’m embedding the audio podcast from the show below, although we did do the show live and there was actual video demonstration taking place at the time. Needless to say Leo and Amber were very enthusiastic about Woopra, and we’ll be getting it installed on their sites very soon.

Listen to

If you skip to around the 35 minute mark you should jump in where I’m coming on the show. But you could also listen to the whole thing because Leo and Amber are actually entertaining. :-)

We’ve started a new segment on the show which we’ll be putting out once or twice a month called “Spotlight on Success”.

If you’ve got any suggestions for people you’d like to see us interview please let us know. But in the meantime please enjoy meeting Scott Jordan, CEO of ScotteVest…
