Other than contributing to the Wheel of Fortune History Wiki (wheeloffortunehistory.wikia.co…; for some reason, the "a href" code refuses to work for this link only)...not much. Back in June, I began uploading again to my YouTube channel, using my Twitter account to help promote it. (I can't believe I've spent nearly five years here and never plugged these. :O)

Do you mind if I tell you a little story about that? Of course you don't, it's the internet. :XD:

Originally, I uploaded in segments through a convoluted DVD-to-PC transfer method using the audio/video wires of my Xbox (later Xbox 360), a blue audio/video-plug-holes-on-one-end-and-USB-plug-on-the-other contraption where the audio/video plugs really didn't go firmly inside, and Windows Movie Maker. I had to babysit the program in real time, which meant I couldn't use anything else on the computer, couldn't move for fear of accidentally severing the tenuous audio/video plug connections, and had to wait a very long time for the files to be created. The whole thing got me depressed in the end, and as such I stopped after putting up an episode of Monopoly (yes, it was a game show, and not just in the States) for Christmas 2010.

In June of this year, my brother told me about Magic DVD Ripper, an easy-to-use/low-PC-intensity program that rips video files straight from DVDs into whatever format you want, or simply copies discs in whole or part. I downloaded the trial, and quickly realized that this could get me back to uploading...so I did, buying the full version shortly after the trial ran out. :)

(Sorry if this sounds like one of those inane infomercial testimonies you see at 4:00 in the morning after you fell asleep watching Jay Leno. :P)

I was born in Deerfield Beach, Florida, and have lived in the city for nearly my entire life...barring a period from 1997-98.

(The picture above isn't mine -- I just like it a whole lot, to the point where it's my avatar here and on three forums I frequent. Wish I could remember the artist's name, though...)

I was browsing the AzuInsanity wiki a bit ago and I started feeling painfully sentimental, so I decided to give you a shout. Hope you've been doing good, man.

I'm still here, and doing pretty well. :) Sorry I didn't respond before; I've been busy trying (and really, really failing) to catch up on a months-old backlog of "YouTube videos from users I really like".

I know about the video backlog thing. I've got a ridiculous amount of anime I've downloaded and need to watch.

Hey Dan, I haven't talked with you in a while, and just thought I'd give you a shout to see if you're still alive.
