Full LP of the Minit.
What am i doing?
Quick Update. I have been trying to start as many projects as I can humanly handle. I current have 4 podcasts that I will start to archive on this site.
I also want to bring back the LP/Video work I used to do. This site will start to move away from a resume into more of a central place to see all my side projects.
Let’s see what happens!!!!
Playing Games #1
I think 2020 will end up being a big year of gaming for me. Blame the virus lifestyle or the comfort that I have found in my life. This blog will be updated from time to time with my game reactions. Standard fare. Perhaps it can grow into something greater.
Let’s do a quick recap.
Platforms. I got a PS4 and Switch for the house. This means that I now have PC, XBOX, MOBILE, SWITCH, AND PS4 bringing experiences to the table.
PS4: Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a disappointing. Just make a better looking and playing FF7. The ghosts got me to quit the game early. I am glad I got a PS4 for it.
Mobile: King of Fighters All-Star. It is the gatcha that got me. I haven’t spent money yet…
Switch: Brings the family together. House Mario Kart sessions. Tetris 99 is GOAT.
PC: I play League of Legends from time to time, but hands cramp up after two games. Bummer city.
Gamepass: This is what Xbox is now is it is beautiful. This is the reason I really wanted to collect my thoughts. I have been taking a deep dive into its catalog and I have thoughts.
Here are my quick thoughts I will expand on in the future of the future.
Spiritfarer: Just started this over the weekend. Powerful, cute, and fun.
The Messenger: Baby come back! I never should have quit this game the first time I played it on the Epic game store. It is amazing from start to stop.
The Turning Test: I finished it in a day. I dug it. I will chat about its wonderful tone.
Forager: I was compelled to play this game. There was a an urge. This was a night job. I have better things to day at a later date.
I got the step up out of my system. Let’s go…
VIDEO: Promotional Video for WFMD|Premiere Dental Arts
This is a one day video project for Premiere Dental Arts that was filmed with 930 WFMD Morning Talent Bob Miller. We didn’t have a script. I handled the filming, planning and editing.
Created: June 9th, 2016
VIDEO: Promotional Video for WFMD|Doc Geiser’s
WFMD needed to film a video to promote the upcoming half off gift certificate sale for Doc Geiser’s Carryout And Catering Frederick. I handled the concept, filming and editing for this project.
Our goal was to show off the menu, the location and create content that could be shared on Facebook.

VIDEO: Spoof Ad for WFMD|Renn Kirby Mitsubishi
Remember the old Matthew Mcconaughey Lincoln commercials? We pitched a local car dealer on the idea of spoofing those bizarre ads by using one of their new cars and a local landmark.
The filming and voice over was handled by our morning talent and the sales rep who pitched the project.
I edited footage to match the voice over and music. This was a one day project.

Under Construction
September was a decent soft start for this site and my side business. I restarted this WordPress account, had two clients and started upgrading my home studio. October is going to be so much more.
Main Goals for October
- Complete this site. I need to make the best of the 2014 theme and find the right plugins to make the most of it. This should be done by October 15th.
- Complete all work for hire profiles. Upwork has been a success for me and I will have all other services filled up by October 7th.
- Inventory my home studio. I have a ton of new software and equipment that needs to be posted on the site. I also need to budget for more improvements that make sense. I should have this done October 2nd.
- LinkedIn Learning. I have been taking classes on LinkedIn to help fill gaps in my expertise. I am mostly self-taught and this is the first step of a bigger project to add legitimacy to my work experience. This is an ongoing project. I have finished Blogging for Your Business & Insights from a Content Marketer.
- Book more work! I had a strong start, but I slowed down while waiting for repeat work. Never stop promoting and creating proposals. Everyday.
I will be doing a mid-October check in to see if have I been keeping pace.
Side Projects
- Hosting audio? I don’t want to depend on using YouTube with a static image to share my audio work. I need to sit down and pick a service for this. Voice123’s player don’t post on WordPress so that is a dead end.
- Andy Arkham! A friend of mine is putting together a 1920’s style live event and I have volunteered to produce content for it. I plan on outlining my work and ideas on this site.
- Make a video. I haven’t produced an edited video in my free time in over a year. I have better tools and I need to use them.
- Camera? I had a nice video camera that was destroyed when my house flooded. Do I want to look into seeing how far down that path I want to go? I should at least do some reading.
Voice work for “Talltanic”
I booked this project on Upwork. You can find my Upwork profile here.
Voice Work for “What Happens IF”
Restart. Rebuild. Revoice…
I wonder if people use the term Revoice? It sounds like rejoice. It could be a brand name.
Here are my current indie links

I am working on a few other service pages, demo taps and actually have a 100% home solution. More on that later.
