Extended interview with Tyler Hansbrough

It's been a few weeks since my last post. I'm a little late with this, but a couple weeks ago I had the chance to talk with Poplar Bluff native, NCAA basketball star, and NBA first round draft pick Tyler Hansbrough. He came back to his hometown for a visit and brought along his former and current basketball coaches: Roy Williams with the University of North Carolina and Jim O'Brien with the Indiana Pacers.

I got the chance to interview all three. Click on this link to see the full interviews.

Giddyup at the rodeo!

Sometimes I think I have the best job in the world. Wednesday, I had one of those days. I covered the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo. I like going to the rodeo as a spectator anyway, so getting to cover the event for work was even more fun!

While we were there my photographer, Rochelle Steffen, and I had some fun. We interviewed the real star of the rodeo.

While he was pretty quiet, so much so that he wouldn't tell me his name, I dubbed him "Fluffy."

However, I think he got a little offended after I started calling "Here Kitty, Kitty!" Hey, that's what Rick Young the rodeo clown does when he talks to the "real stars."

Anyway, just to show I really have no shame watch the video below and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Adobe releases security patch for Flash video, Acrobat Reader

I had recently blogged about a security threat with the current versions of Flash video and Acrobat Reader from Adobe. This means anyone watching affected Flash videos or pdf files could be putting their computer at risk to hackers. Adobe has now released a patch users can download to help close the security hole. Visit this link to download the patch.

Blogging from the road

I've had my Blackberry for several months now, but this is the first time I've used it to create a blog post. As I'm typing right now, I'm riding in the back of a van.
With the ever evolving advancements of technology, I think back that 10 years ago I would have never thought I could surf the web, listen to music, or even watch videos on a cell phone. I'm excited what the next 10 years might bring.
So here's to technology, the adventures ahead, and my first post from my phone!
