Soooo, you guys have BLOWN ME AWAY with all the iPhone iLikes and iGripes that I've gotten! So much so, that it's taking me a while to edit down the podcast because I can't possibly include them all, but they are all so good it's making it hard to choose! (A great dilemma to have). I am almost done with the editing (I'm also experimenting with a fancy new GREEN SCREEN for my podcasts, so that's adding edit time as well! fingers crossed. if anyone ever wondered how a green screen works, I can explain that to y'all as soon as I'm sure my effort was successful. :)
Anyway, in order to tide you over, as I know you are all eager to hear your emails/comments read on the iPhone podcast, I have a quick little video announcing my new GeekGirl blog URL here, followed by a poll, because I need YOUR help in deciding whether or not I picked the right name! First, watch this (it's super-short, I promise):A URL is a fancy name for a web address (i.e., www.GeekGirlKnows.com or Apple.com or Google.com, etc. etc.). You can actually have your website/blog "living" on one website addy, and then have a "Vanity URL" (a fancy word for a simpler web address) for which you just purchase the domain name, and simply have it "point" or "redirect" to where your website actually lives. (Maybe I'll do a GeekGirl Quickie on how this works if anyone out there is actually interested or curious! Let me know if you are).
To make a long story short, (or rather, a short story long!) since my original URL was really hard to describe to people (http://geekgirlpodcast.blogspot.com) my best friend/co-worker/officemate at the Tonight Show, Ross (check out his blog HERE), and I were brainstorming the other day on a website name that would be super easy and also fun and applicable to me and what I do here around the old GeekGirl blog. SO, we came up with GeekGirlKnows! Just imagine me saying, "You have questions? GeekGirlKnows!" How's that for a tagline? Fun, right?
There's only one slight problem...before we came up with GeekGirlKnows.com, I had purchased the domain GeekGirlPodcast.com. Both of them work right now (watch, open up a new window and type them both in...they magically go to the same place!) Now I'm not sure which one I like better! Here's where YOU guys come in! Below is a poll... give me your input on what name is better for my new URL!
So vote vote vote and tell me what YOU think! The winning name will be used in all of my GeekGirl graphics and promotions!
Stay tuned for the iPhone iLikes and iGripes video podcast starring YOUR questions and comments!!!
Here's a quick message from me, check it out! I need your help:

As promised, here is the QUICKIE that I shot right before I left on my trip to Bali, Indonesia. I didn't have time to finish editing & uploading it before I went, so I finished it this week, right when I got back! I talk about some fun gadgets that I call "travel essentials" that complement my high-tech, plugged-in life. Check it out and let me know your thoughts:
I'm working on Episode 7, a topic that I can proudly say was suggested by a GeekGirl blog buddy, and it's going to focus on the ubiquitous iPhone. If you have any gripes about the iPhone, either the previous versions or the latest & greatest, email them to me at geek.girl@earthlink.net. I'd especially love some VIDEO QUESTIONS emailed to me in any format as long as the file size doesn't exceed 7 MB (or, upload your question to YouTube and send me a link!) and I just MIGHT include your video question in the next podcast! (PS-the video question can be about ANYTHING that you think I might be able to answer for you!)

I have to apologize to you all! I promised a Quickie, and while editing it, ran out of time before I left for an AMAZING trip to Bali, Indonesia. I forgot that I was taking my other laptop (without the editing software) and couldn't finish before my flight in order to post as promised! Ironically, the topic of the quickie was travel gadgets that help me stay organized and equipped while traveling. OOPSIES!! LOL.
Anyhow, I'm back in town now, and getting into the swing of things, and promise to finish the Quickie and post it in the next few days.
Thanks for hanging in there!
In the meantime, email me at geek.girl@earthlink.net if you have any questions, feedback, or just want to send me a note! Or, use this time to check out all of my videos on YouTube by clicking HERE.
I just got overly excited about some gadgets and decided to film another "Geek Girl Quickie" so that I could share with y'all! Stay tuned; it should post today or tomorrow (I'm putting the finishing touches on the editing and graphics now...!).

The wait is over! Geek Girl has officially gone GREEN. I'm ga-ga for green ways to either dispose of electronic equipment, and even more ga-ga for inventive and creative ways to re-use and re-purpose your electronic peripherals and innards. :)
So, for those of you who have been following along, I've been putting a call out to YOU out there for your ideas on how to be GREEN. And you answered with flying colors! Here's Part 1 of a 2-part episode (I had so much good stuff it had to be split into two episodes!):
What did you think? I hope you are excited to see Part 2 and even more excited to go out and implement some of the ideas I mentioned so far. Stay tuned this week--Part 2 will be posting by the end of the week, along with a whole slew of links to all of the products and websites that I mention in both episodes. For now, click HERE to visit EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) website and educate yourself and those around you about ways to be GREEN as well as tech-savvy.
