Well holy damn... it's 2018 already

Here's a bit of catching up. In 2017, my business partner and I launched Modern Studio. It was a grand vision, but I had just taken a full time job as morning host for our local NPR affiliate. Waking up at 3am wasn't conducive to running a venue, so by late summer, I had to bow out. Fast forward to the beginning of 2018, and my finances were in disarray (the station pay isn't great and my child support now eats up 51% of my take-home pay -- I work 3 jobs or more to make ends meet and still have to beg/borrow for money).

So now we're here, the first days of a cold Spring and I'm rebooting things. At the risk of juggling too much, I'm starting a new podcast AND restarting the reviews on my ADG YouTube channel, which actually did really well. The iOttie review I did 2 years ago got 17,000 views! There's clearly a need for this stuff. And after taking some voice and acting lessons, I think I can bring a valuable voice to the "stage" of tech reviews. Well, that and my decade of experience of reviewing stuff from my AOL/Weblogs days.

Stay tuned, for real this time. Unless I get a killer job in San Francisco, lol.
