BTW, I like Steampunk Enough. :) Are we going to see another geek album in the near future?


A) I was thinking they should be shorter. And packed with more jokes. Input would be appreciated.

B) Short answer: Yes. We will see another geek album. How soon? I dunno. How many songs? I dunno.

The length of ep 2 felt just right to me, if you went shorter, I wouldnt go more than 3 minutes for what you're doing here. More jokes are good but more insight/color commentary is just as good. If you cant be your version of [Name of rapid fire Stand up comic] , be your version of Tom Bodett.

I like what you had to say about the food and beer. Here's the thing: "eat local" while excellent advice, isn't actionable. If instead you were to say "eat local AND if you're a tourist in [name of city] here's how to sniff out the venues worth going to" that would have been much better.

I like your descriptive stuff about how cold it felt to be at Niagara Falls, more stuff like that would be cool, not just the description of your smells and tastes but your feels and sounds as well.

Great stuff and I continue to watch with interest. :)

NB, when I said I was thinking they should be shorter, what I meant was in the area of length of #2. But your feedback reinforces my instinct that around 5 minutes is the right length.

I'll find my voice on these. Right now, it's kind of quiet, because both times I recorded, my son was asleep (his room's across the hall from my office.) I want to try more of doing it without the quiet tone...

Good call on talking about how I decide where to eat. I may have to do that...

I actually prefer it slightly longer. Closer to the first video. Otherwise it seems like a cheap sandwich. Lots of bread and not enough meat.

Cool. I look forward to hearing the material.

Thanks. I think I finally got the audio right, and the flow seems to be working ok. I'm thinking about taking a more "segmented" approach, with more clearly delineated segments (possibly using intros/set transitions/titles/etc...)
