Technology, Widgets, and Engi-tainment

If you thought I spent 5 years in college studying engineering so I could sit in a cubicle all day, you're wrong. Now I get to be on film! I know I'm such an amazing actor and will probably be a superstar in no time, ESPECIALLY since America is so enthralled with structural engineering.

No, seriously folks, I'm now online with EXtv, the newest, hippest, most educational and technothusial form of engi-tainment on the web (by the way, engi-tainment is a mix of engineering and entertainment; you should have known that). Not that we've been all that entertaining so far, but give us a break engineering is a technical subject that takes alot to explain!

We shoot the video at our enormous production facility in South Florida (I like to call it Engineering Express). We have a plethora of producers, actors, extras, and models that I work with every day just to get the show going (the models especially go after my co-host Randald, our producers Keith and Colby, and our cameraman/Exec Producer Frank). We edit the video with top-dollar editing equipment (a.k.a. any software we can get for free online), and upload each episode with expensive servers and digital equipment (gotta love Youtube).

Anyway, the show features engineering, technology, and educational highlights, especially anything related to hurricane protection. Myself and Randald will try to steer the content in a direction that appeals to all types of people, not just engineers. We'll go over how to make your life easier with Widgets, how to navigate the weird and confusing ways of construction in South Florida, what to look out for regarding structural engineering and the next big things, all the while attempting to throw some humor and entertainment into the whole shabang.

You might enjoy the pilot episode, located on the Engineering Express channel at Youtube. Since you're following my blog and I have a big ego that needs to be fed, I'll go ahead and embed the second episode (mostly me sharing my amazing knowledge of everything in the universe) right here. Enjoy and tune in often.
