I hope you all had a great holiday season and happy new year. After taking a break myself for the holidays, I’d planned to be bringing you the first Geek Cred of 2008 today, but things just aren’t working out. Since Christmas I’ve been battling a severe respiratory and sinus infection that has hit me like a train and left me with little voice. I’m finally on the up swing, but its kept me from working on the show, so I have nothing to release for you today. Never fear, though! Geek Cred will return for the first episode of 2008 next week. Stay tuned, this is going to be a great year!

Normally I’d be bringing you your latest episode of Geek Cred, but with all the hubub around the holidays, Geek Cred will be going dark. I wish you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, and enjoy this special season. See you next year!

Well, here I am again, happy to say that I am back online with a new machine. It was very tough getting by with no desktop for this time, but in the end it was worth it. Well, now that I’m back up and running, I can get back to the thing that I missed most: podcasting! Look for the return of Geek Cred with a brand-new episode coming this Tuesday. (New release day.) Thanks for staying with me!
I am sorry to say that due to circumstances beyond my control, that Geek Cred will be a bit delayed. You see, my long suffering desktop machine that I used to record and produce the show finally bit the dust. As much as I would whine about how old and underpowered it was (by modern standards) it did allow me to do the show. For the time being, I am pretty much without a computer, at least one that I can use to create the show. I will hopefully be getting a new one soon, but that won’t be until about 2 weeks at least, during which I won’t be able to produce new episodes. I will do my best to respond to e-mails and be in the IRC chat room some, but that’s about all I can do with this truly ancient laptop I’m forced to use in the meantime.
I’m not trying to have a pity party here (though I’m I’ll gladly accept any donations!), I just wanted to let you guys know what’s going on, and why I don’t have a new episode out. I do want to reiterate that I am commited to doing the show, I love it, and once I am back up and running, I will get to work on the next episode right away. And as always, you can drop me an e-mail or hit up the chat room. You’ll hear from me soon, and until then, geek on!
Friends in Tech presents our annual technology-themed Halloween special for this year:
It’s the Great Server Chuck and Kreg!”
Convinced that the Great Server will be making its yearly appearance, Kreg refuses to go Trick-or-Treating with the rest of the FiT gang and instead pulls an all-nighter waiting for the Great Server to “…rise up out of the server farm and brings technology to all the good geeks around the world.”
Written by Douglas E. Welch and the Members of Friends in Tech

I am proud to announce that Geek Cred has joined Friends in Tech! Friends in Tech is a great group of podcasters that I have been supportive of for quite some time, and I had the pleasure to meet and hang out with many of the guys at the Podcast and New Media Expo last weekend. They are all very cool people, and I’m proud to say now that I am a part of this group. Be sure to check out the Friends in Tech web site, and all of the other great podcasts available there over at www.friendsintech.com.
This episode of Geek Cred is an experimental live edition, recorded on TalkShoe.com, with special guest co-host Steve “Snowball” Saylor from This Week in Geek. Doing a show live without the luxury of editing a challenge and was definitely an interesting experience, but it was a blast and I definitely want to do this again. Thanks to everyone who came out and participated.
