GeekGirl on Inside Dish with Ross Mathews!

Hey GeekGirlGang!

Guess what guess what? RIGHT this very moment I'm getting all dolled up to go shoot an episode of Inside Dish with Ross Mathews, one of my nearest and dearest friends and an old co-worker on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. I'm super excited, and we are going to give a sneak-peek of my holiday gadgets episode and might even ustream a bit while I'm there! I'm taking the laptop just in case.

Click on the logos for HelloRoss.com, Ross' personal website, and the Inside Dish logo for the official show page:




Keep checking the blog here for updates throughout the day on my journey into the Inside Dish studio! I will be taking pics with my iPhone and emailing them into my blog here and they will publish LIVE from my emails! Cool, right?? Gotta love technology. :) (BTW-if you want to know how to do that with your blogger blog, email me or comment below and I can teach you how to set it up-it's super cool and easy!)

Ok gang, keep checking in. I'll let you know after we are done shooting when we the episode will air this week on the Inside Dish website!


Cheers,

GeekGirl, uStream Test and an artichoke.

Yes, that's right, an artichoke.

Have no idea what I'm talking about? Watch the video below of my very first LIVE broadcast on my brand-spankin'-new ustream channel. Very cool! I wasn't expecting anyone to show up but you guys definitely delivered by coming by to say hi and even chatting with me. About my artichoke. LOL. Just watch the video:




Now that I know it works, we are setting up a LIVE video Q&A in the next 2 weeks where you guys can ask me all your questions! I think I'm going to do my holiday gadgets episode LIVE with you guys! Fun, right?

Here's the permalink to my ustream channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/geekgirllive. I'm still working out the kinks but so far, so good! Got any tips for me now that I'm a Broadcaster? Hey, I like the ring of that! Broadcaster! GeekGirl Live has just opened up a whole new world for us, GeekGirlGang, and we're going to take it by storm!

Cheers,

GeekGirl

Back in the Blog-s-sphere & Twitterverse!

Hey GeekGirl Gang:

There's good reason for my long absence from the blog/Twittersphere, and hopefully something will be inked and final in the next 2 weeks and if so, I'll be able to share it with y'all! In the meantime, lots of changes are going on in my world, and ALL roads point to MORE GEEK GIRL VIDEOS for the holidays AND for the New Year!

Here's what I've got in production right now:

-eBay horror story and tips quickie
-Holiday Gadgets
-2010-the future is here!

Any tips, suggestions or requests, GeekGirlGang, on topics you'd like to see discussed? I'm also considering doing a live, streaming chat a la my dear friend Ross Mathews (click HERE for his blog, and see below this paragraph for our live chat re-broadcast below from his Jay Leno Show dressing room backstage last Friday). What do you think of the u-stream software? Should I use the same software? Does anyone have any suggestions for great live streaming software with chat tools/features, etc.? I want to know!



I've missed you, GeekGirlGang, and can't WAIT to get all of this new stuff (and hopefully the good news I hope to share!) out there to YOU guys, the people who inspired this blog in the first place!

IMPORTANT ALERT: eBay Fraudulent Buyers!

Hey Gang:

So I've had a horrible last 2 days with some dangerous eBay buyers who have a fraudulent system set up to prey upon people legitimately trying to sell stuff. It just happened to me TWICE in the last 3 days on the same item and I've spent hours on the phone with eBay and PayPal. I think it is so so so important to educate everyone out there about what happened to me that I'm going to cross the boundaries of GeekGirl and tell you my very personal story of what happened to me a few years ago and also just this week because I think you ALL need to know about it if you engage in any e-commerce on even the smallest level. We need to help protect one another in an ever-growing cyber-world!

While I'm working on this video I want to know if YOU have had any eBay or PayPal horror stories or phishing attempts-if you have and you feel comfortable sharing them, please email them to me at geek.girl@earthlink.net. I might be referencing YOUR story in the video!

Cheers,

However, tonight at 7 pm PST I'm again lucky enough to be co-hosting The Baub Show (an online radio show) with my dear friend Bob. The musical guest is Jaron from Evan & Jaron and it's bound to be a hoot. Plus, I'll be giving you a few tips on holiday gadget must-haves!
