Announcements and Updates: 4/30

Just thought I'd make a thread for updates regarding my show.

For starters, right now, my AC adapter is out of commission, which means I can't charge my computer. Since this is finals week, there's really no point in taking my computer to a Best Buy in my area since I'm heading back home three states away on Friday, but I'll get it taken in as soon as I can. In any case, I don't have enough money to replace it yet, so it'll be about two weeks until my first check, and then probably another week or two for it to arrive once I've paid for it. Long story short, producing will essentially be impossible for the month of May. I'll keep writing HTC reviews as best as I can, and maybe submitting them as articles rather than videos, but since my backlog of RbS movies is on my dead computer, I can't get much work done there. So, I'm not just being lazy, I literally can't get any work done. Thanks for understanding!

So, the problem turned out to be my battery; I thought I had a replacement, but the screwup of a Best Buy in my area back in Ohio sent me one with different voltage than I need, so it's probably going to be another week or two until a replacement comes in.

Those things happen.

My Windows laptop just had a recent hard drive failure.
Luckily I had an old acer netbook with a comparable sized HD to swap to it.

Have to reinstall everything though, sucks too because it's my video editing computer....

I ordered a new computer battery yesterday. I paid for 2-6 day shipping, but the estimated delivery date is the 31st. In any case, I've got a new mini-series in mind called Review Preview, where I share my thoughts on a band/artist who: a) is a staple in my current collection, and b) has an album coming out soon that I plan to review. For example, Linkin Park's new album comes out in late June; before I review it, I'll make a Review Preview where I talk about my opinion on LP's previous works so viewers have an idea of how well my opinion will line up with theirs. I know this is ambitious to say, but the idea is that each RP will stand as my definite opinion on the artist for all future reviews; albums, singles, videos, what have you.

That sounds cool. Mini-reviews seem to be pretty popular these days.

New battery arrived, won't charge, problem most likely lies with charger port, most likely have to send computer away for the duration of f---ing June. So much for planned Smashing Pumpkins and Linkin Park reviews.
