Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Ep. #919 - Geocaching Faux Pas

It is so good to be back in front of the camera again as we recorded Geocaching World last night while being joined by our very robust and informative chat room. I do have to admit that we had to work out some cob webs and technical difficulties but the show was great as usual. Yeah we had some hurdles all right. For me personally after coming back from some health issues and dealing with a move to my new residence things have been pretty hairy. In fact my temporary spot for my studio (aka the front room) was finally put together about an hour before the show.

There be gremlins here. It doesn't matter if you are doing something relatively basic like a podcast or more elaborate like a video-cast you are always going to run into technical difficulties. Tonight was no exception when things like right in the middle of the show my wireless router simply failed. It never did this before and maybe it was because of the move but BOOP! no internet connection at all. Co-Host Courtney Wallin and Managing Director Andy McCaskey did an impromptu fill in while I banged electronics with large blunt objects but eventually I made it back to continue our discussion. Don't you just love it when things like that happen while in a LIVE recording?

Speaking of the show we ran with a subject I very much enjoyed talking about recently on the Geocaching Podcast in regards to Geocaching Faux Pas. Those nasty little no-nos that we may or may not do while out hunting for geocaches. We talked about everything from how you should not put foul language in a cache log to don't lie to the authorities if approached. All in all we discussed over two dozen topics. You will just have to watch the show when it comes out in distribution.

Our prize winners received some really great swag from our Geocaching World Cache Stash which included a CoinsandPins.com First To Find Traveler Tag and a CoinsandPins.com Earth Geocaching Pin. Way cool and congrats to Mike Neal and Louis Caplan for winning these great prizes.

Other points of interest is the introduction to a new segment being shown on RVNN LIVE called Geocaching Radar. It is a quick jam packed summary about any possible place in the USA. Included is some great travel information and a description of a choice geocache that you may be interested finding in your travels. Be sure to check that out on RVNN LIVE.

Did you know that on ROKU there is now an official RVNN Channel? That's right, you can now join the potential three million plus Roku viewers and watch all of the RVNN.tv shows right on your TV! That includes Geocaching World. Check out all the details here: http://rvnewsnet.com/

As always I want to thank all the fans and viewers that visited us in the chat room while we recorded the show. It is always so great having you there. Thanks for being there.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN) Pre CES2012 Episode

Tonight's episode of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) was everything CES 2012 (Consumer Electronics Show). That's right, myself (HeadHardHat), Courtney Wallin and Managing Director Andy McCaskey are heading for Las Vegas to be smack dab in the middle of this amazing event. We will not be alone amoungst all the gizmos and neon. There will be a team of about 18 individuals putting together the TPN.tv broadcasting epic.

The TechPodcast Network is lead by Todd Cochrane, Andy McCaskey and Jeffrey Powers with a host of junior talent (like Courtney and myself) plus support and production crew. Not only will we all be doing live interviews with hundreds of exhibitors at the TPN booth but also interviews and commentaries from all over the convention center and beyond. Many of us will be arriving on Saturday and then we go through all sorts of challenges as we go through pre show activities, building the TPN booth itself and also prepare everything for CES when it opens it's doors on Tuesday. That is a lot of prep-work.

Tonight's episode we presented some backroll video showing Andy and Courtney preparing to leave the RVNN.tv studios before heading for Vegas and I went over a top ten list of items I will like to investigate while at CES 2012. For all the great discussion and details you will need to see tonight's episode when it is released into the wild in the next few days.

Also if you want to keep up with just about everything that is going on during CES 2012 be sure to watch the TPN.tv website here: http://tpn.tv/ and you can also watch some of my personal behind the scenes by watching my Obsessed blog here: http://headhardhat-geocache.blogspot.com/

Stay tuned.. much more to come starting Saturday.

P.S. I want to thank all the fans and viewers that visited us in the chat room while we recorded the show. It is always so great having you there. Thanks for being there.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN) - EP #916 - Cleaning Out The Video Closet

My head is still swimming from all the fun we had last night as we recorded Geocaching World (RVNN.tv). This was the last show we are going to do for 2011. Yep,  we are taking the next two weeks off to celebrate the holidays and also gear up for CES2012 which happens in January. For the weeks of December 22nd and December 29th we are going to have Geocaching World marathons. Fear not though, be sure to join up in the chat-room anyway because we may be stopping by to say hi and make fun comments as we watch with you.

Lessee, some of the really great notables was once again we utilized a Google Hangout and had a slew of people joining us there as well as another record crowd in the chat-room. Saw a lot of new names and faces with the added bonus of viewers from at least five different countries in attendance. It is so cool because for many of them it was extremely late at night but we were told they wouldn't miss a live recording. Thanks so much to everyone who stops on by during the show. We interact so much the gang that you are truly an intricate part of the show!

I am not sure but judging by the comments in the chat-room and in the hangout I inadvertently made several viewers wet themselves by my opening segway. You see the show's theme was "Cleaning Out The Video Closet" and the second I heard that my mind instantly thought, "Oh this is going to be fun". So you know me, I did what I had to do to get a laugh. Picture this, the TechPodcast Network logo fades and I fade into view. Then I say ever so matter of factly, "Tonight on Geocaching World, HeadHardHat comes out of the closet"...pause...taps headphone in left ear..."Oh, right, HeadHardHat cleans out video closet - NEXT on Geocaching World".

I really wasn't sure what the reaction was going to be but in my headphones I heard Co-Host Courtney Wallin and Managing Director Andy McCaskey busting up in the background. Then I looked at the comments in the chat-room and saw that it and the hangout exploded as well. It was one of those moments that I will remember for quite some time.

The entire show itself went really well shy of one time Skype acted up and Andy had to call me back to get a better connection. We discussed First To Finds, Multi-geocaches and how to make one of my cool fire hydrant PVC geocaches. All with a nice little video and discussion which included the chat-room and hangout. In fact, when you watch the actual show you will see that in one monitor behind Courtney is myself on Skype and in the other is people from the hangout. Really cool. Special kudos to one of our regular viewers Darren Matthers from Scotland who also had some cool reindeer graphics going on during the hangout. Thanks Darren!

Well again, fantastic show, lots of people in the chat-room and hangout, awesome discussions with everybody. The prizes that were given away form our Cache Stash consisted of a really great geocoin from the Cache-A-Maniacs Podcast and an amazing GeoAchievement geocoin and pin set from CoinsAndPins.com.

We always have a great time when doing Geocaching World and it just keeps getting better! You will be able to see the show in it's entirety in a few days. Be sure to check out RVNN.tv, iTunes, TechPodcast Network and all our other distributors to see when it actually gets released.

So that's it for 2011. We will be back in January 2012 and if we haven't said it before we are saying it now. It is you our fans and viewers that keeps us going each and every week. We could not do this show the way we do without you. THANK YOU!

To All, Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays - Happy New Year and see you next year!

-HHH

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Episode #32 - FAQ's


What a fun show tonight. This episode of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) was in that fun and easy style of a Meet and Greet. Here we get away with a lot more. We communicate with the chat room a whole lot more and they interact right back with us. This makes the show so much more entertaining because the chat room sort of directs how the show goes. Tonight we did an FAQ show, in other words, a geocaching Frequently Asked Question show. It doesn't matter how much a person does geocaching there are always questions about some subject or another. Tonight we pulled out of a hat a bunch of different questions and then discussed them. This further brought in other questions from the chat room and on we went.

The weekly show prizes were both donated by our friends at GxProxy.com. the first was some great Trail Tags. These are night type tacks that are directional. They literally can point in the next direction you want the finder to go. Our winner of this had to encode a message into Rot13 and that was - Dane Morgan.

The second question was what does the acronym TPTB mean? The winner was Louis Caplan who won some really nice GxProxy.com donated Waypoint Tags.

It was so relaxed tonight even Dave Dufour and I got to make fun of Producer Courtney Wallin in regards to the Michigan / Notre Dame game played earlier in the week. I was able to get my "Go Blue" digs in because they won said game and Courtney gave one of her best "The Look" expressions I have had in a while.

Questions tonight touched adopting a geocache, how reliable are smart phone GPS units, what is a stash note and do a lot of geocachers like geocaching alone. There were tons more but these are some of them.

We went through two different "Lets Go Geocaching" videos where we witnessed a bunch of different geocaching hides in areas around the country.

There was a whole lot more talked about as well but you really should see the show itself. It is well worth the watch.

Enjoy,

-HHH

Geocaching World is recorded each and every week LIVE on Thursday's at 6:30pm EST. You can go here to join the chat room and watch the show. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rvnn-live
