For those wondering what the heck has had Geren all tied up for the past several weeks … I’ve been busy moving GTV (Howard County’s cable TV station on Comcast 99/Verizon 44) to co-exist with HCC-TV (Howard Community College’s educational cable TV facility on Comcast 96/Verizon 41), and working to build the new, state-of-the-art facility [...]
As some of you may know, I’ve been fooling around with the idea of building my own video camera stabilization rig. There are a bunch of commercial units available from Steadicam/Tiffen, Glidecam, and a collection of eBay stores based somewhere in India. These are all fairly impressive units, but some also have some pretty impressive [...]
Seems I’ve made the front page of the Baltimore Examiner web site today with this article. If you’re looking at the print edition, it’s on page 5. Isn’t that special?

I’ve got a visiting computer — a brand-spanking-new Apple 20″ iMac. By and large, I really like it. A lot.
This particular iMac belongs to the church I work for. There are a few reasons I’m playing with it. First, it’s the computer that we’re going to be using to replace the aging PC in [...]
Kiah – The bird. Remember her? Shortly after we got her, I took her down to the avian vet for a check-out. It seemed to the vet that she was generally healthy, but, a bit under-weight. She weighed about 76 grams that day, and a bird her age should weigh at least 85 grams. Well, [...]
Ugh. That was pretty bad. Ah, well. Whaddaya want fer nuffin! Anyway, among other errands last night, we ordered Verizon’s FiOS service, finally. We got the letter in the mail earlier in the week that indicated that the complete service package was finally available in our neighborhood, and, I know that it really is, as our next door neighbor’s installation is already [...]
It’s been a helluva week. I really don’t remember being this stressed in a while. I don’t even remember some days!
I do know that our little government PEG channel, Howard County GTV, went on the air on Verizon FiOS in both Howard and Anne Arundel Counties today at 12:44PM. Our set up is not quite [...]
Or, video, for that matter.
We received a mailer from Verizon the other day, pushing their FiOS system for TV. Some of you may remember that I’ve been pretty excited about the technology — and the chance to get away from Comcast. And, the price that Verizon’s advertising ($39.95 a month) is really enticing.
Until you get [...]
At the end of my discussion on getting a DTV set without breaking the bank, I mentioned that you can view these beautiful digital pictures without spending an arm and a leg, too. What’s the secret?
There are a few ways to get digital signals into your home. You desires and viewing habits will dictate the [...]
As I’ve written before, TV as we now know it in the United States is due for a change.
Since I wrote that last article, the end date of the transition from our current broadcasting standard has been set: February 17, 2009 is the date that your standard television set will go dark. Or, more appropriately, [...]
