I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A FREE COMPUTER!!!

We're almost there...  100 SHOWS!!  This week I had to pre-record the show because I was obligated to an interview with Time Warner Cable 8 News (the interview will air on Thursday night's edition of James Reed's V.I.P. segment, August 28th at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 8) and wasn't going to be able to prepare and deliver the show on time.  So, I focused primarily on the newest promotions and contests that I'm running; "100th Show Celebration Computer Give-Away" and "BSR Football Pool".

For those of you not yet aware of the computer give-away...  here's the skinny:

 As you all know, I'm all about seeing Wi-Fi hotspots becomming more available in our community.  I've found myself many times wanting to pull over and connect to the internet when I'm out conducting business and there's just no place available to make the connection.  I've even done the show from the Labrynth Press Co. because I wanted to demonstrate some of the possibilities that a Wi-Fi Hotspot can bring about.

 This week's show was originally intended to cover topics related to kids and their computer requirements for school.  Being that the new school year is right around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to start talking about things to consider when deciding on a new computer for your tech-savvy students.  I say it was "intended" to be that way because as I was walking out the door to head off to the radio station, I was approached by my three year old son, Isaac, with the usual round of questions:

• Daddy...  are you going to work now?
• Daddy...  where do you work?  At the radio station?
• Daddy...  will you be listening to yourself on the radio while you're at the radio station?
• Daddy...  can I come with you to be on the radio station?

Well, after several weeks of the same questions, I figured it was time to give him something other than the usual "No, Isaac...  you can't come with me."  And, instead, I said... "okay, Buddy...  get your pants on and grab a couple toys to take with you so you'll have something to play with."
