I was going to do it but you beat me to it

Ah, the tireless excuse of the slow and lazy. If I had a penny every time someone said the above to me about the SBS Show I would be bigger than Time Warner. I'm gonna try that line with Steve Ballmer next time we talk "Hey, I was going to build a multi-billion dollar conglomerate but you beat me to it"

But this is not a rant. Quite the contrary. My PR Agency, Tim Barrett & Associates is going to be vlogging concurrently with me. He's serious about it too, he even bought a Mac. He showed me his first episode last night, far more impressive than what I have in terms of production quality but he is not sexy enough for a widescreen yet. Great audio too, I am not brave enough to stand that close to the camera. According to his blog he will be focusing more on screencasts and helping people with the bits on pieces of SBS and related technologies.

I will hopefully remain the Paris Hilton of the tech conference scene and focus on the IT Pro lifestyle. It's a great source of entertainment for me - I get to talk to some amazing people, find out what drives them and what makes them successful. Let's face it, you can always buy a book to figure out Exchange, well over a 100 options. But you will lilkely never sit down with the guy that owns the entire SMTP stack and see the excitement about what he is working on now. Sometimes its more fun to find out why things are the way they are instead of how they are put together and sprinkled with marketing. I've been fortunate to meet some remarkable people in this business and it has changed the very core of what I believe as the definition of success, hopefully I can bring the same to you. Then Tim will show you how :)

I'm very happy to see this. The response to the two episodes on Vladfire has been amazing so far and it is empowering people in a whole new way. No, we have not forgotten about the SBS Show, this is just a whole new way to tell a story. Both will continue. At the end of the day it feels great to know that even your hobby can make a positive difference in someone elses life. Thank you, thank you, thank you for hundreds of emails and comments on just the first 3 episodes. I think I got more feedback than downloads, I am very happy you like them so much.

You’re amazing. Thank you for making all of this available.

I’ve said it before… YOU DA MAN.

These videos are awesome it’s almost like being there. Thank you for bringing it back. I’ve seen pictures, heard people talk.. but this is just the kind of a kick in the butt I need to get out there.

Thanks for all you do.

No doubt this is very positive. I’m glad you’re taking your time to deliver this and I hope you understand you have undying respect of so many in the community. Some only talk… you write, talk, video and code. Big props to you sir.

You Paris Hilton? Oh no dude, not by a long shot.

Collective laziness is nothing new there is even a demotivator around it.

Don’t get disparaged by the sea of could-a, should-a, would-a as most people are simply not creative or enterprising. Oh they will ramble on endlessly under the flag of passion but when you put it all to the fire there is simply nothing there. Just hot air.

So forget about them.

My hat is off to you and Tim for looking up and on the positive side of this. Any idiot can rant but few are worth reading or listening to. Just my observation of the b’sphere

let me just say…

the day you release a video of you in a jet-black bikini, washing a jet-black escalade & chowing down on a gargantuan cheeseburger…

expect a lawsuit to recover any & all bills for the therapy and electroshock treatments necessary to permanently erase that unholy tableau from my mind.
