Hey Folks, You might have noticed I haven't been updating my blog regularly and although part of that can be attributed to a lethargic disposition (I've been a little lazy) I also have been busy taking care of my wife because we were expecting child # 2. So I am proud to announce that as of 1/1/2011 at 11:20 pm I am now the proud father of beautiful baby girl 2. She looks allot like her older sister and we hope they get along like gang busters (but that they don't gang up on their mother and I). We have named our daughter...

So most have you have probably visited wikipedia.com and gotten used to the way they format their pages. One of the elements that most people first look toward is the right hand side box that contains an image of the company logo or the person that the wiki article is about.
In honor of the fact that Andy Boyns was the first person to figure out how to add it to his page… I will use his page and his infobox as the example here.
This is what I’m talking about (I put a red line around it for you if you’re still confused):

Good morning Folks,
Today I decided to writeup a tutorial for people interested in adding themselves or their companies to the Voiceover Wiki – VOpedia.com
In the past 9 or so days since I launched the site quite a few people have joined and added their pages… but I believe many haven’t because they don’t have much experience with the WikiMedia system.
This Tutorial is for beginners… some parts of it might be way too simple to those more computer savvy but I decided not to skip anything so as to make this first tutorial as comprehensive as possible.

Click Here To Hear Sample of Rode NT1-A
Back in October I starting asking around to see if anyone was going to the US to visit. I was in the market for a new microphone and I had read a whole bunch of good reviews about one microphone that had won awards and had an excellent reputation for being one of the quietest mics around.
The Rode NT1-A
None of my friends were going but thankfully one of their friends was coming to visit Egypt and didn’t mind bringing my new mic with her. So after getting her details and thanking her profusely I went on Amazon and found the best deal.
As it happens the best deal was through a store called Nova Musik in Milwaukee (pronounced Mili-wa-kay in its original form). Anyway I don’t usually announce where I buy my gear from … but honestly these guys were great. I called them up to ask about something specific to the NT1-A and the guy was just one of the nicest customer service reps I’ve ever spoken to… It also cleared for me what that mystery accent for the Main guy in CSI LV was (the guy with the beard from the first 7 seasons forgot his name).
Anyway I highly recommend Nova Musik … the order was made and my friend’s friend received the mic within 2 days. Brilliant service… and probably a bit of luck.
The lady arrived on the 22nd and my friend called me up yesterday with a hostage picture of the box … we met up yesterday night and I picked the package up and took lots of pictures and even recorded a raw audio demo for you guys to hear.
It is necessary to mention that this is an XLR microphone and I am a USB mic kinda guy (I try to be cost effective and practical since I don’t have access to an audio hardware store that caters to Voice Artists here in Cairo). So I had purchased the Centrance MicPortPro and used it to connect my new Rode mic to my pc to record directly.
