Interesting...looks more like Matt Nielsen to me.

Well people, I have been playing around with a new media tool called Ustream. I thought I had mastered the concept but after checking out what I thought would be the final product, I hit delete.

I will use the weekend as a self help training seminar so hopefully we can do some live streaming next week where fans can ask questions a I answer them live.

I'm looking forward to making this into a totally interactive segmenton a regular basis.

In the meantime,sorry about the lack of blogging while I explore my new toy. Here are some news links to keep you occupied.
