My day at GoDaddy

I spent the day at GoDaddy’s offices yesterday and shot a video blog with Bob Parsons, GoDaddy’s founder and also did an interview on his radio show.   Bob is the coolest guy and he tweeted about my stay in the tweet above!

Please pop over to his Twitter account, follow him and send him a tweet that I should be the next GoDaddy girl!  Wouldn’t it be great to see your teacher on a GoDaddy Superbowl Commercial?  :-)  Here is his account on Twitter.

Here is a pic they took of me while shooting the video blog, pop over to it and make a comment if you’d like: 

Oh.. and here are all the pics plus some that I took:

Why are sports fans called “fans”?

I am a TV Game Show Clue!

I am a clue on a Dutch TV Game Show called Lingo!

Thanks to fellow Twitterer rich_hj, here are links to the show and some snapshots as well!

Click the pic on the left to see the snapshots and you can view the episode by clicking here (it appears on the 26th of June episode).

At 5 min 18 seconds the announcer says my name and at 9 min 40 seconds they show my picture as the answer is announced.  Translated below

Thanks PedanticKarl for the screenshots.

Here is info on the show that originally started in Netherlands and was hosted by Chuck Woolery here in the States, Lingo. And here is the Lingo TV Show Website.

Nerd Word of the Day: Weisure

Weisure: n. Free time spent doing work or work-related tasks. A blend of work and leisure.

I’m certainly guilty of a lot of weisure time!  I mean, seriously, any free time I have I am on my computer doing something work-related.

How about you?  How do you spend your weisure time?

Oh.. and here is what Peter from Family Guy did on the poop deck.

Interview for F5 Magazine

Here is an interview I did for the Russian F5 Magazine! (I know.. another Russian interview )

If you’d like to run the interview through Google Translator, here are links to the PDF’s.  F5 Magazine Pg 1 and F5 Magazine Pg 2

Just cut and paste the pdf text into Google Translator.

Does anyone know the significance of the title of the magazine? (F5)

Interview for Snob Magazine

Here is a video from an interview I did for Snob Magazine out of Russia.  They sent a reporter from Russia to be with me for a week, so this is the result of that week-long interview.  The name of the magazine is a play on words. PedanticKarl sums it up here.

Sorry that the interview is in Russian.. but you can pick out some English words here and there

Please rate and comment over at YouTube to help out the video.  Thanks!

Vote for my Boxee App

A nice developer by the name of Ümüt Özalp made a Boxee HotForWords application that plays my videos in HD, Full-Screen on your computer. Boxee itself is a wonderful, free video player that plays media from all over the web in a TV like player.  They keep getting blocked by Hulu, but they keep figuring out ways to circumvent the blockage!

Anyway, Ümüt will update my application to play all of my videos (it currently only plays the HD playlist), but please vote for it to help Ümüt get recognition for his hard work.  Plus if he wins, then maybe I can get him to add all kinds of cool stuff to it!

Vote Here.

The HotForWords application can be found in Videos/Internet once you install Boxee.

Thanks!
