TristanPEJ v2.0

Hello nameless void of the internet,

I thought I'd give you some information on what I'm up to and what I plan regarding my life, and the future of the TristanPEJ online franchise as we look into 2009.

First of all as most of you may know I'm a college student in a upgrade program to go to university. Currently, between school, friends, school, writing, school, gaming, and school I find a desire to keep up my career as a youtube, blogger, and facebook pundit and aspiring fiction author.

So I thought I'd let you all in that I am in the planning phase of a website, most likely I will try and buy the domain TristanPEJ.com for it. My plans regarding the website is a fundamental shift in the way I blog, vlog, write and such.

I am starting a podcast, and making most of my youtue channel content a video version of it. I plan to go all out with show notes, forums, and moving my blog up to the site. The podcst will cover all of the things I cover on here and youtube plus more interesting features like fiction readings, discussions, interviews, and reports at events from the source of an interesting event.

The podcast will be published on a weekly basis and most likely be published in a creative commons sharealike blah blah blah liscence so you could share it but not sell it.

My blog will act as a home for additional information on topics that I might not feel comfortable podcasting about for whatever reason.

I've broken the podcast up so each episode will contain the following segments:

Section 1: Tristan and the news
This will be a segment on the news stories of the week from around the world to your ipod. I will give my input and the input of people I come accross in this section and will also try and find some stories that side on the funny or unusual to spice it up, but headlines will be prodominant.

Section 2: State of the Tristan Address
This will be a section on Tristan talking about the man he knows best. It will be a piece on whats going on in my life with school, writing, and whatnot. Tell an interesting story or something that involves stuff I'm currently doing

Section 3: Meat & Potatoes
Section three will be the feature of the show, be it a short story, interview, at length discussion on a subject, or an essay. I will accept all sorts of material for this in my email and if I think listeners of my show will like what content you are willing to give up to me, I will put it up to no profit of my own and you will be fully credited for your words/ opinions / whatever. I don't just want submitted short stories, but essays, rants, letters, reports, songs, anything of that I can put in an udio format is welcome.

Section 4: Feedback
This is a simple one where I will respond to emails I got and talk about episode comments from the forums of the site. Funding permitting I may even start a way to phone in and leave voicemail for response

I want to get involved in the podcasting community I listen to now (mostly fiction authors, but I think I'll be expanding) and people int hat field I am guessing would be ripe for interviews and such. I will also try and do some face to face interviews as the opportunity arises.

In conclusions, expect a lot from me in 2009, I will post here still and you will get updates on how the site and podcast are coming along. If you want to help or get your submissions for my podcast in or just leave a comment feel free to email me at TristanPEJ@gmail.com

In parting I should post that I am now on twitter and hope to keep updated. Please come help me figure out this social networking site by following me and holding my hand as i navigate web 2.0 one site at a time. I can be found at http://www.twitter.com/TristanPEJ
