9th Anniversary, 1 Year To Go!

            Today marks 9 years ago since ChrisBOnTheWeb Media started. The recent days I have felt a lot of emotion and feeling so grateful that this website has kept going and we've reached the 9 year milestone. I was going to do a video but the emotions are real right now. I have felt overwhelmed and emotional that we've reached this peak of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. I am so proud of how far we've come along with this group that we have, yes we have had our up's and downs, our failures that eventually shown to it's successes as we've had over the years and we should be proud of this honestly. 

          Now 1 year from now will be our 10th anniversary. Something we've dreamt of for a very long time and I will talk more about that tomorrow actually on the blog "The Road to 10th Anniversary" as that starts today and a lot to do before the big celebration together where we celebrate 10 years together and it will be a very big party cause I plan on a lot of things for 2024. I was going to do streams every 2nd week but that will be revealed in time. I wanted to thank my team, Larry, Justin (even though he's not part of the team anymore, big part of the team) and Mark for always being behind me no matter what. Happy Anniversary ChrisBOnTheWeb Media and here is to many more amazing years ahead of us!

Organization is Important!

           Yes, it has become a chaotic morning here at the studio but this is where organization comes into play. I know I didn't get my notes finished like I wanted to and I had to finish them this morning but almost got it done about half way. Usually I'm really good with the interview questions and takes me an hour but I am really thinking deeper with questions actually. I wanted to go deeper honestly with the questions and come up with some neat questions. 

             However this isn't about the podcast this is about organization. I know I have spoken about this topic many times in the past both the podcast and on the blog here. So the basic things I am focusing on is getting the notes done for this afternoon's podcast and recording the bonus episode which will be back on YouTube that is on the list of things to do today. Also I have another interview today. Last interview for now as I do not have anything schedule for now. Which is OK with me. I'm sure something will come up again but what I am trying to say is that organization is important. Yes I know Power Rangers is important and I am due to record with Larry in week but trying my hardest and at this point I may need to make a decision to start recording in December instead. With Organization sometimes you need to remember personal life has to be mixed in there with work life. You cannot always be working. Anyways I need to be more organized and need to better to get everything done at a proper time. But that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates [11-11-2023]

       Another week has wrapped up for us but first, I want us to remember those who we lost during any of the wars, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War or any of the wars that has gone on the last 20 + years. We will never forget.

     So this week has been chaos for us, from Chris switching gears to Power Rangers to really get it done for the 23rd and that is the ultimate goal and he wants to get both seasons done by Monday or Tuesday so he can start typing up the notes on the other computer behind him on the right side. Also he has been busy with The Royal Winter Fair content and plans to post up a ton of stuff from the day which spans to Sunday on social media then one more a podcast that he says he's going to post to YouTube but not 100% sure as the bonus episodes are still 100% Audio ONLY at the moment. 

       So it is I think he's doing The Great Outdoors end of next week actually of my knowledge what he's told me but all I know is 3 podcasts next week, 2 on Monday and 1 on Wednesday at the most. Also fair warning he may pop up at 1 pm ET on Facebook.com/ChrisBOnTheWeb for a stream but depends if he is busy and has time, also when he gets back as he was suppose to be back in Toronto on personal business but that has been moved to Thursday. Anyway that is the post for the week, I will speak to you all on Saturday as next week is indeed another 6 days of blogging for us, so have a good weekend and week, talk to you all in the community and I will be back here next Saturday for another "End of the Week Updates."

Food Reviews [Royal Winter Fair Edition]

            So as part of the Royal Winter Fair I got to taste a bunch of different things, first we had pizza which I had the pepperoni pizza as per usual and it was delicious. I really, really delicious honestly. Then we tried Salami of all kinds was really really nice. Also tried a beef jerky which was Western Smoked and was really tender and nice actually. Also tried a Sturgeon fish sample and first time for me trying Sturgeon. Finally I tried cinnamon flavored honey and was strong at first but then a nice flavor and was something I wasn't use to honestly. 

       For dinner, I tried this cheeseburger which had beef in it and a ton of cheese. Talk about high cholesterol but I mean it was only the one time and one time only. The flavor was good but the only issue I would mention that it wasn't very hot. It was luke warm even though they put it in the oven for a few minutes still was luke warm so this may be the last time I go there next year for The Royal Winter Fair next time around. Will try somewhere different. Anyways that is the post  for today, I will be doing a podcast about the stories I have that will be Wednesday @ 1 pm ET on YouTube & Audio ONLY. But for right now I will talk to you all on Monday for more blogging fun.

The Royal Winter Fair 2023

           My job never ends, from podcasting to blogging to editing to going to events and Fairs this year has been eventful I can honestly say. Anyways this is the 101st Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and unfortunately missed the 100th last year but heard from a vendor that it was very busy place last year. Anyways they had Tack for horses and going with the theme of the Fair being equestrian, farm, also crops and farming. Also Fudge which we got my mom a piece and I tried a chocolate Cheesecake and will talk about that the food review posts with the samples and the meals I had out.  

             Of course they had cheesecake, Food court area with basically what they had 4 years ago when we went there last. They had beef jerky which we tried some and bought some for ourselves as we tried it and again I will talk about it on the blog later. They had a lot of things even Salami's which we found out Port Perry has a Farmers Market in the late spring, summer and early fall. They had Holstein show for the 5 year old cows and also another one that we saw late called the Summer Herfer class. They have their gourds, not as many as they did 4 years back, they had the grains as always which I did a comparison for my dad via an app for photos. They had chickens which I have a cool 3 second video of the Rooster crowing and chickens being chickens. Also have the Super Dogs in their own section a kids play area. Also saw the bees as always, found the queen very quickly. Finally we saw the Rode Ponies and the 3 horse hitch which was really cool in the Coliseum along with art, shirts, cup and much more. I could go all day but that is the post for now, I'm sorry this was overboard but thank you for reading and I will speak to you all at 1 pm ET.

However also we've been working on 10th Anniversary and the website is looking great honestly! Mark has done a fantastic job with the website and getting ready to start releasing things. As you can see we've actually renamed the tab 10th Anniversary.

         Now I know when are we releasing these pages?

Excited for the completion of this this project. It's been a crazy last month almost with all the work we've put into the website and it's a crazy setup right now but this is just the start.

Blogs for 6 days this week and next week

          With me busy with local and events in Toronto, I have decided to expand the schedule to Saturday once again and I think this may end up being a permanent basis for the rest of the year as their has been endless amount of content. Because now, I am looking at two blog posts as of Friday which is insane to have so much content for the website it's unreal. You guys are so very lucky to have a ton of content really. 

           I think putting our blogs 6 days a week soon is going to be taking affect soon like really. I am now convinced we need to make this move NOW, not in January 2024, however I am holding onto the decision to make the switch. Because I want to see if it is needed this year or if it can wait till next year. We will see as I am already preparing for the end of the year. This blog may be a bit shorter but that is today's post and I will speak to you all tomorrow!

Back @ The Royal Winter Fair This Week in 4 Years!

           For the first time in 4 years, I will be returning to The Royal Winter Fair since November 2019 before the pandemic start. I know I've been on edge about going back and contracting COVID again but I will be wearing my mask and hope my dad does too just to be on the safe side as Toronto is where I got sick with it in the first place. However this is the first time for this event again and I have missed it dearly. I am so happy to be returning to the Royal again after a 4 year absence from it. I will have my phone and take a ton of pics of the show itself.

             However, I will not be attending the horse show since there isn't one during the afternoon during the week and there use to be but not anymore. It would be late for us to get out of there and back home so it's definitely not worth it but if it was on a weekend... Most definitely yes. Always next year. However I'll be there taking notes and pictures to talk about my first time back at The Royal Winter Fair for the first time in 4 years. This has indeed been long overdo and excited for this week getting back into events locally and abroad meaning Toronto as I have two schedule. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will speak to you all tomorrow!

Officially on the New Schedule!

            After last week was an appalling mess in schedule, I start this week with a fresh mind and aspect to what needs to be done this week. One of those things being Power Rangers and already between 5 and 10 episodes completed now. I hope to finish it all of it up by tomorrow so Wednesday, I can start the next season and finish it by Saturday so this way I can start typing to really push the 23rd actually happening. This week I have a lot more time on my hands minus Tuesday, possibly Wednesday and indefinitely Thursday, but between Tuesday and Wednesday I will have time to work on things before my outing for the days. Thursday I will be out of studio at an event in Toronto. 

             I will talk more about that tomorrow on the blog. However this week starts a brand new week with phase 1 with the new schedule for blogs & podcasts. As I said last week blogs and Entertainment Man Podcast are on the normal days but Entertainment Man's bonus episodes are moving a day back to Wednesdays @ 1 pm ET. Now as you guys remember when we brought The CBOTW Show it was on two different days, one day on my own (Tuesdays) and the other one with Larry (On Friday's) I know this means him and I will be rotating weeks, there will be weeks I'm not alone while maintaining a every 2nd week schedule? That's going to be quite a handful I know. However it will be easier as we continue to progress and post to our new schedule. Anyways thanks for reading the blog today and I will as always talk to you tomorrow!

End of The Week Updates [11-04-2023]

                   It is time for the end of the week updates. I know Chris has been off kilter for the podcasts this week and he's had to deal with the COVID shot this week which knocked him out for 2 days straight but yesterday got so much done and finished which is amazing that he got it finished. He is aiming to work on Power Rangers Beast Morphers all weekend long and he's so fired up to getting it done finally with a brand new schedule that has taken place. Speaking of which we've sort of now adopted the new schedule ahead of next week's change over in our schedule and I think he's wanted to actually change over the schedule sooner due to the overwhelming amount of episodes which this week things really got derailed all together. 

                    Next week is a new week for us and Chris is actually at an event "The Royal Winter Fair" in Toronto. He is excited about returning to the Royal but worried he's gonna get COVID but I doubt it will happen as it won't be as busy on the Thursday till later on in the evening and he's not attending the Royal Horse Show as it is in the evening this year. On top of that he has to finish up Power Rangers Beast Morphers by end of next week if he wants to actually start typing up the notes and getting it up on time. Nothing else happening, however I am starting to put together the schedule page for 2024 for 10th anniversary and already created the drop down as we will be releasing soon, actually November 20th, 2023 for the walk down memory lane, December 1st, 2023 and December 15th, 2023 the 10th Anniversary Schedule.  I hope you have a fantastic weekend and next will be a 6 day blog schedule once again as we have a ton of content coming your way and I will talk to you all next week.

What's going on with The Minecraft Server?

          So what's going on with the Minecraft server? I have been on it and been working on the Subway system and been tearing down old railways above ground and yet to have done that been tearing down the rails to the one where the snow is as basically I am planning to some how eventually resurrect the idea down the road perhaps. However the other 3 lines are being pulled down with the one that goes out to the desert is gone and is put under ground at this point. Also one that went to the villagers and ice world are gone and no plans for an underground but thinking about one to the villagers perhaps could be a possibility. 

           The other line going adjacent to the already completed line is being dug out but right now like I said I am removing lines above minus one line just the tracks but once the removal is complete then I will start working on the line on the north line above the property. However I am in and out of the game and haven't had the time to play so I am on and off the game. When I have at least an hour to play I will play but other then that I'm working around the clock on content which definitely has a priority. Even with the building, I have stopped working on it. I should actually finish the building at some point and I will. However when I have updates, I will give it but for right now, have a good weekend and I will talk to you all on Monday.
