Original post

As I wait here in the media room, I look around at a lot of people who represent different blogs and companies, trying to report what is going on in the video game world.  People have some high-end cameras, video cameras and a crew of 2, 3, or even 4 people.  But what if you are only a 1 man crew? You carry everything with you, your laptop, netbook, camcorder, voice recorder, shotgun mic, camera, 2 additional lenses, back up cables, chargers, portable media storage, food and water.  Is there a bag big enough for all of this without hurting your shoulders?  No way!

If you are a 1 man crew, how do you manage to do it?  What gear do you bring?  How are you carrying it? And does anyone know of a good chiropractor?

Stay tuned!

Otherwise, I’ve had a great 2 week relaxing vacation with my wife. We ate, went to NYC during the blizzard of 2010 and I played a lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops on the PS3. If you care, my gametag is below. I’m fairly impatient at gaming so I could do better, but I’m happy where I am now. I’m entering in a tourney as a singles player but hope to find a clan to play with soon.

Yes, it is 2 bunnies humping with unicorns in the background!

The start of a new year, new recipes, more pictures and more WordPress!

In other news, TEDxBoston is this Thursday. Stay tuned for a new Live Blogging system that I am currently putting in place.

Lunches are a la carte [Yes again] but will probably be sandwiches, soup, salad, etc. with some type of veggies and/or fruit!

Dinner: Monday-Friday (for the Mrs.): Roasted Garlic Onion Jam Pizza (I didn’t make this until Sunday night), Grilled veggie kabobs, Falafels; Monday-Friday (for me): on the road so I’m hoping something somewhat healthy (except for the pizza last night at WordPress)
