Very First News Blog - June 2020

This will be the first blog devoted to geek news. The original plan was to make a video of me telling the news, how wet, after recording and attempting an edit, it was not to my standards and was not useable. 

I shall keep working on it and hopefully have videos to go with these blogs. So until then, I thought I might as well release this blog as I had put the work into the stories.

 

"I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential." - Shirley Chisholm

Hi, my name is James … most people call me Jim though and I have MANY addictions. Whether they’re healthy ones are not is up to Doctors who get paid a lot more than me. I don’t feel they are that bad, they’re not drugs or alcohol or anything but nice ones like coffee, Under Armour workout clothing, notebooks and a country. That country is the good old US of A. Ok, so coffee could be harmful depending on how much I consume, my notebooks addiction means I COULD be buried under them all, but my god, what a burial that would be … give me a pen and I would be happy and the under armour clothing one isn’t too bad. The thought of working out is there, obviously, because I buy the clothing (to be fair, I do actually work out … maybe not as often or hard as maybe I should but I do go for runs and eventually will go back to the gym to do weight/resistance workouts … but knowing me I’ll catch a cold whilst there, and right now, I DON’T want that).

Restaurant, Hanging Out, Becoming More Geeky

We’ve made it through the first full week of 2020!! Even with the risk and thought of world war 3 and all kinds of other terrors. Give yourselves a pat on the back because, if you are reading this, you made it!! It took me a bit to figure out what to write in this blog post, its a day later than last week but it hit me that I need to write it on my recent trip to Manchester. My first of 2020. 

Streaming Wars

I have previously written a blog about the different streaming services but this one is slightly different. More and more and coming around now and the big players have released their initiation dates and prices …. And there’s gonna be a war … and we are all gonna be caught in the amazing content crossfire.

My Streaming Service Blog

So within the last month or so there have been a number of companies announcing video streaming services. Big companies coming into this market as it’s the future for most people. 

While it’s great to have a choice it’s becoming more and more like tv services (cable/satellite) and I think it’s coming to a stage where enough is enough.
