Why I Can’t Provide Support After 7

October 24th, 2008  |  Published in Blog, Information, Life

Have you ever wondered why I can’t provide support on TalkShoe after 7PM EST Monday thru Friday during the school year?

New York state limits the hours I can work when school is in session. Meaning, I can work between the hours of 7am to 7PM during the week and up to 3 hours on a school day (Mon-Fri) and up to 8 hours on a non school day (Holidays, Vacations, Weekends). This is as long as I do not work more than 6 days per week or more than 40 hours a week.

During the summer this is different and I can work 7am to 9pm and up to 8 hours on a given day, 6 days per week and up to 40 hours per week.

This should help to eliminate any questions on why I can not provide support on TalkShoe after 7pm during the school week.

How I Got Started Podcasting and Why

Rob White made a blog post a little while ago about How and Why you got started podcast and I thought, why not make a blog post about how and why I got started.

When I was about 12 I was starting to really get into the Internet and Web 2.0 stuff. Podcasting was one of them. I really remember watching a podcast awhile back and then I started listening and watching more podcasts. I thought, how could I do this and how hard would it be? I had been using a web service called meebo for awhile and they had just introduced Apps and TalkShoe happened to be one of them. I found Podcaster Training and started listening to archived episodes. Then I started getting into Participating in the shows, by this time I was 13 and I started with my original show, TechCast and I have come a long way since then.
