What the Heck is Internet TV?

As a parent you read, and hear, all about restricting you child's viewing time of television. And I mean the kind of TV viewing that happens on a TV that still has channels, advertisements, a remote control and the screen is still likely to need dusting. You also are warned that too much computer time causes X and too much video game playing causes Y. yada, yada, yada....

I have always kept a pretty close eye on this stuff. B had never been one to watch TV that much, and we don't even have a gaming unit (handheld or otherwise). Since we home schooled and he did not use traditional books for a lot of subjects - he has always spent a fair amount of (supervised) time on the computer. (Which by the way, when you send them off for 6 hours a day to college campus, they can engage in computer screen watching as much as they like - you have very little say.) And now as a teen I think he watches more TV than ever. But that is not what this post is about.

This post is about me learning, yet another new thing this week. A local new 'tv' station approached me this week about advertising with them. I scheduled the appointment to meet with their marketing representative. It didn't take me long to realize I was out of the loop - WAY OUT OF THE LOOP!!! This woman was asking me to advertise on an internet TV superstation (one I will say is well matched to us in terms of their focus is strictly the county I like in - and want my students to come from). But who knew????

Thankfully when i have meetings like this I am able to listen more than talk and I got on this new page quickly and didn't make a fool of myself (too much of a fool of myself). Learning new things....sometimes puts you in that position.

Anyway...if you want to know what I'm talking about (which you probably do because you are way more on the ball than I) check out www.A2YP.TV and see what I learned about this week in this marketing world I am clearly behind in. I'm running to catch up....but B tells me by the time I get 'there' something new will be in the way.

Running to Catch Up

No, I didn't get buried under a pile of office junk when I moved from the cubicle to my office. LOL

But, I do still have a small stack of 'stuff' on the floor that I haven't yet found a place for. I'm thinking by the end of today - what's not gone (put away) I am taking a match to it. LOL

I must say, I have never really cared that I had not had an office. I actually had never given it much thoughts. But....now....I can say, "You can't miss what you've never had." I DO LIKE an office. I like to shut the door when I want to get into something and I don't want any distraction. I like to have scented candles burning and when I come back to my office I am greeted by that pleasure. It makes me feel like I'm doing something nice for myself. I like when someone knocks to come in versus just walking up and starting to talk to me.

So, it's Sunday and I am content sitting in here. The weather is going to be hot and sticky today (so I'm not missing anything outside), the boy is at work (so I would have to be sitting in town anyway), and it's a chance to clear my desk (yeah right, like that is going to happen) before my week starts - which is going to be a very hectic week! It's nice here and it feels good to be productive!

ps - and NO, I have not gotten all the SEO, OMG, ETC....figured out yet. But I'll get there!
