Last Weekly Updates Blog

                 As you know today we say goodbye to our long weekly updates as we transition into the new newsletter which is already in motion. What is happening with this blog? Well Chris aka the Boss Man and I have spoken about in a deep level and we have decided the following schedule:

Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays: Will be Boss Man Chris 

Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays:  Will be me, Sara, the COO of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media.

                What topics it will be? A Various of posts from food reviews, local events and events in Toronto  to advice and tips from both Chris and I am even longer explanations of features we are planning to add which we have a bunch now that the Newsletter is starting up for us on Monday @ 9 am EST. Some of the ideas I will be covering on Monday will be: Merch, Free 30 minute call and also online events as well. We will be doing a big update to all the pages and to assure it is done and that is the first step this weekend as Chris and Sadie will be doing a deep clean and updates to the website so some pages may come down for a while they update it all. At this time I would like to thank you all for supporting our weekly updates and we will be missing doing these blogs on Friday mornings but this opens up more doors for content on this website.  See you all on Monday for a new and improved blogs.

Newsletter Signup is complete! What's Next?

                 After a long battle with the code we have our newsletter setup and ready for new subscriptions. Already have had one or two and will remind you guys from time to time but it is easy to see. Please be patient with us as we design our newsletter over the next 6 months as we evolve and grow the newsletter as we've never done this before in the history of ChrisBOnTheWeb Media nor The Video Projects Team so we are fairly new to this as a feature on the website. We are very excited that this feature is finally out there!

          What's next for us? Merch and Sara will talk about this on Monday on the newsletter with our what's new and upcoming section of the newsletter! We have so many different ideas and I am excited for the first edition and will be reading it as I subscribed to it myself so I can see what she says each and every week. We need some new ideas for services free services and paid and we've considered the free 30 minute call thing but not add a form but just use an email as trolls seem to have fun spamming it and apparently reported and got it removed but it is what it is, we were planning to phase out the forms instead and the pages kind of need a revamp and we will be going through all the pages revamping each of the pages as it's long overdue. There is more news but she will cover it on Monday. Have a great weekend and talk to you all on Monday under our new schedule.

Back To The Grind!

           Since returning back to Ontario, I've been busy getting shows done I got two airing today, 1 pm EST the Audio ONLY version of Entertainment Man Podcast @ 1 pm EST & The CBOTW Show @ 6 pm EST. I've considered to do a second Entertainment Man Podcast on Wednesdays but sporadic episodes from time to time. Not every week, not every 2 weeks, not once a month but if I feel up to it and something I want to talk about I will post an additional episode on Wednesdays.

          For now I am also am recording a new episode this afternoon with Chris Champion and very, very excited to be doing this podcast as it is about something I love talking about and that is creating content. Anyways after that with the editing, I will be doing other things, working on Corner Gas episodes so I can book Bob onto the podcast soon. Anyways it is good to be back and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Few Food Reviews!

              I know there is a lot of places where I was at while away on holidays but a few things I want to review obviously:

Veal Meatballs: Never had veal meatballs till now and loved every bite of it. It was so delicious and so tender. It was also served with fettuccine pasta in a sauce with shallots. 20/10 above and beyond my expectations Place: Bistro 1640.

Breakfast Poutine: I know it sounds odd a bit strange but it was really, really good. It was a lot to eat, it consistent of eggs, cheese curds, regular chunk of cheese, not sure what kind but also potatoes and bacon in it. I absolutetly loved it and would have it in a heartbeat! Who would of thought that Poutine for breakfast would actually work. 20/10 exceeds my expecations. Place: La Buche.

Gnocchi with Sausage: I haven't had Gnocchi in ages and it had sausage without the casing on it and was so good and tender and full of deliciousness. I give it a 30/10 as it was probably one of my favorite meals. Place: Coche Dinge Champlain

            There is the food reviews all in one, hope you guys enjoyed it and I know it wasn't everything I ate but some of the highlights and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

My Trip Out of Province!

           My trip was amazing! Yeah it was very stressful at times but I enjoyed my time out there. Did some personal things that I do not want to discuss publicly. Checked out the shops below the board walk where the Chateau Frontenac is. Then we went up on the Funiclaire to the top and walked the boardwalk.  We actually went into the Chateau Frontenac and took a ton of pictures outside and inside of the hotel. So historic of a hotel. 

          Now you may think that isn't all we just did is it? No, we visited cemetery where my grandma is buried, it is personal and the reason why I didn't mention it. Anyways back to the point of this post about my travels and this was really inspired this post. When visiting a shop that carves wood, we got a VIP tour of the shops on the third floor and we thank the staff or owner for giving us a sneak peek how they create such beautiful pieces. Last point I want to make is we visited Chez Marie which has homemade bread with Maple Butter and I will review this later at 1 pm EST. However we visited this last year as well and loved the experience. That will be the post for now and as always I will talk to you all later for a food review.

Flying can be stressful

           As you guys know, I was away and I flew out of the province on a bit of a vaca and I needed that break from it all. I have been so stressed out with all the work that we've been doing. Anyways, I always found flying very stressful but I enjoy the flights when I have to fly and fun to look out the window as we take off, during the flight and getting off. I will explain two instances. 1) Going through the pat down and swabbing my hands. Yeah I was pat down and swabbed. Never ever had it happen and I had no idea what the heck was doing on whatsoever as this has never happened. 

          My dad got double patted down and his items checked and I really had to be patient and with me Patience is not a virtue with me usually.  So in this instance you have to be very patient with this. Now Billy Bishop Airport isn't as stressful as Pearson but still flying can be a very stressful moment. Also sitting for an hour and a half was difficult with me with my right knee seizing up but I managed. Just be patient as you go through security and it will be all worth it in the end. That is today's post and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Projects We Want to Work On!

                 There are projects we want to complete and right now is not the right time as you know boss man is out of the province but still is in Canada but not the point of my post today. There are two major things we want to complete before summer hits and here are the two features we want to work on:

Newsletter: I know we've talked about it a lot the last month to 2 months now and it is not as easy as you think as Chris needs to code the popup into the website. The NO right click has been implemented to our website probably since the start almost 10.5 years ago. That will be the first phase of the plan in June while Chris takes some time away from Ghostwriter till later in June. 

Merch: I know we have been approached about Merch and it didn't seem to have worked out too well as we didn't get a reply back but we are looking into other platforms that would want to work with us and get some ChrisBOnTheWeb Merch setup and somehow link it to the website. We will keep you informed when that stage begins. 

          Anyhoo, that will be it for me and I'm sorry for no regular updates and maybe this is something I can do between now and before we switch our schedule around as Weekly Updates being discontinued on this blog and moved to the Newsletter which I will be personally doing. I will chat with you all next week.
