Livid Lobster!

Livid Lobster!

Over the last couple of years I’ve run a few contests and given away all kinds of stuff including camcorders, ipods, cameras, Drobos, etc. But it’s really been a pain in the ass to try and run those giveaways. But I finally have a solution to that problem!!!!

As many of you are aware, my new company Livid Lobster, Inc. is the proud host of two new video podcasts (GeekBeat.TV and WebBeat.TV) as well as the parent company of OneMansBlog, OpenCamp, WealthNation.FM and a few other soon to be released projects… Well, we’ve decided to launch a brand new weekly newsletter which will feature all sorts of goodies such as:

  • Top posts of the week
  • Schedule of events
  • Exclusive subscriber content
  • and more!

Well, rather than trying to run Twitter contests, or other things that are difficult to track, we’re going to make it real simple! If you are a current subscriber to The Livid Lobster List you are automatically eligible for whatever in the heck that Cali Lewis and I manage to have in our bag of tricks to give away that month! And believe me, between the two of us we get our hands on some primo goodies!

One Week Till OpenCamp! Here’s a Little Video…

Well, we’re a week away from OpenCamp. Love it or hate it, OpenCamp has definitely impacted my ability to publish to my own blog. I’m looking forward to being done with all of that for a while so I can focus on my own projects again.

That is not to say that I am not finding OpenCamp to be an incredibally rewarding experience! It’s definitely worth every minute spent on it! I’ve made lots of close friends and had amazing experiences already. And I know that OpenCamp will change some people’s lives!

We have a lot of interesting stuff going on, and one of those things is that Dr. Nico Martini’s students from UTD will be attending OpenCamp as a mandatory part of class! So for a little fun Cali and I put this video together for them. Though everyone might get a kick out of it…

Cali Lewis and GeekBeat.TV Take it to the Next Level!

If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you know who Cali Lewis is. Not only is she a great friend and co-host of the WealthNation.FM podcast, but she’s also an absolutely amazing person with an unbelievable work ethic! The best part is that I get insider information about all the cool initiatives she has going on, including a HUGE one she announced today!

Cali has been bringing us tech news for many years, but since she’s only one person, and her show is only so long, she can’t cover it all! But with the launch of her new show GeekBeat.TV, she is expanding her influence and sharing the spotlight with a brand new team of amazing bloggers, who she introduced in today’s episode!

Mark Ramsey is so smoooth. So here is his Top 10 List of Reasons to Attend OpenCamp!

By the way, you ARE coming to OpenCamp right? I mean… if you don’t show up you are instantly disallowed from ever asking me for blogging, Web authoring, or other general advice of this nature. :-) Seriously, you’ll learn more in two days than in at least a year on your own. For $99!!! I mean holy crap, other conferences with inferior speakers will charge you $1,000+ for two days OR worse yet, make you sit through sales pitches! AAAaarrrgghh!

Geoff Smith Performs Bohemian Rhapsody Live

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”.

What’s In Trey Ratcliff’s Camera Bag?

You guys know Cali Lewis and Trey Ratcliff, right? Well, the other day we were having a little lunch and Cali decided to be nosey and ask Trey what the heck he keeps in that huge camera bag he carries all over the world!

Luckily I was there with my trusty little Canon G11 camera to record the resulting discussion. So for those of you wondering what a professional in hdr photography carries with him wherever he goes, wonder no more!
