End of The Week Updates! [10-29-2021]

                   Another week has gone by and we have come to a reset with CBOTW. No, no podcasts have been restarted I mean as a community as a whole. As I said yesterday it is now a reset except certain people that are not allowed back. Anyways here are the updates:

Website: Website is totally done, no plans to expand on the website at this time. I think there is nothing that Savannah and I could add to the website to be quite honest. I think we have added as much as we humanly can add to the website at this moment and I am quite happy with the state of the website. Now it is more about keeping the site updated with blogs and podcasts at this point. One thing we did add back is the chat and it is now under "Chat Lounge" which can be found on the sidebar of the website on the right side. We will not be removing it in the nearby future it is here to stay, whether it is used or not.

Entertainment Man Podcast: Starting Monday, I will be starting to work on 2022 episodes moving through the twists and turns of 2022 and the addition of 2 interview slots per month with extra episodes added into the mix in case of no interviews certain weeks so I am prepared to go either way.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: Jungle Fury is not finished yet and I have made the decision as you guys know by my post on social media that I am going to be sending them next week when finished so he has it then I think I am going to get a start on RPM type em up on November 8th, 2021, then start working on Samurai and Super Samurai.  Then I will be on a break till April when I start the shift to Megaforce and Super Megaforce.

                         Those are the updates for the week, a few updates to say the lease and I am sure I will be getting more updates next week what is next for the projects and I will keep you guys informed with updates as things continue to progress. Another big week coming up for me and plenty of content to prep for the upcoming year. So have a good weekend and I will talk to you all Monday.

I Need To Do Better With Problem Solving In This Community!

                     I know at times, I have hidden and not said anything on social media or moments I go entirely "radio silent" on most platforms, you know something is up. I tend to go quiet when I go into one of my moods or some drama went on, I do not take it on directly, I avoid the situation and not deal with it. I've noticed I have distanced myself more and more from this group and I should remain active but sometimes it is just hard for me to deal with so much going on. I need to stop distancing and problem solve. Also I find myself not listening to both sides of the story, I just overreact and drama ensues. So I have to start being more assertive and actually face the problem head on, rather then go ban happy and I have been going ban happy on the group especially. I counted at least 8 to 10 people have been banned but I have taken majority of the bans off minus 2 individuals. 

                 Trying to make it right especially in this community and starting now is a clean slate, I wanna start over as I have been too unfair with some of you and communication is key. I do not want to come over strict and that is how I feel I have been feeling like I have abused my power as Founder/Owner and losing too many followers and I gotta stop the bleeding to be honest. I mean I have to fix this community before it crumbles like The Video Projects Team once did which was one of the reasons that community crumbled which drama was  a factor as well in the last year of it's operation. That is the one thing I am scared of is when CBOTW hits 8.5 years it will all coming crumbling down once again and I do not want that to be a repeat but fair warning any issues gone forever. Consider this a fresh start as I banned so many people on the group and now only 2 are currently under a ban. This is a fresh start for all of us and this year has been hard for all of us and so many changes with podcasts and hopefully moving forward things will be better. That is my post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Halloween 1 and 2 Movie Review!

                Today's blog is about the first 2 movies of Halloween and it is a movie review. Mind you I have only done 2 movies so far and I am sure I will be doing 3 and 4 next week. But here are the reviews for both the movies:

Halloween: The original movie that got this franchise going. I loved this movie, the music is freaky and when you heard the music you know something is going to happen. I like the backstory with Michael how it began how he became the main antagonist in the movies. It is always nice to know how it happened with the original backstory to the character. Also Jamie Lee Curtis was phenomenal in the movie and I really enjoyed this movie. These are the perfect Halloween movie for this time of the year. I know when I watched I always wonder what was going to happen in a future movie with characters being killed in the movie so it really made me wonder. Also I wanna add to this review, that no matter what they did Michael still kept on going took a few times before he collapsed. This movie gets a 10 out of 10 from me if I am to rate this movie out of 10.

Halloween II: This movie is a continuation what happened from the end of the movie where Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) was in the hospital and what happened to Michael which is a cool way to do the movie so you won't be questioning what happened at the end of the last movie throughout the entire movie. That's the correct way to do it and it answers a ton of questions. Also what I liked was how they continued on when the Dr. was shooting at him so it wraps up anything that happened from the first movie. I know this movie takes place in the hospital scenario. I was questioning why when Michael was on fire he was still alive till he moved a few extra feet. I loved this movie, love how they did the scene with Michael on fire. There wasn't a thing called Green Screen like there is now for 1980s. I know it wasn't as well know but I'm not sure when that became part of what is used to this day but this movie definitely gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

                  Those are my reviews and be sure to stay tuned as I am planning to do another review next week on Halloween III and Halloween IV. I know I have 12 movies to catch up on and please be patient with me as I watch 2 or 3 a week. Thanks to Jimi for the idea to do a review of these movies, plan on doing more of these in the nearby future. Till tomorrow's post, have a great rest of your Wednesday!

Microsoft Word 2021 & Verbatim USB Reviews!

                 Today, I have two product reviews and I am going to start with Microsoft Word 2021. Now, I haven't had Microsoft Word for at least 5 - 7 Years now and with my Corel Word Perfect acting really weird as my printer isn't being recognized I am now done with that program at this point and actually the version of Word Perfect it's a very old program nearly 20 years old and it was time for an upgrade actually.  So I spent nearly 200 dollars on a Microsoft  Word 2021 and so far I love it 100% love it more then Corel. Now I know I have Corel editing software and I am not going to throw any of those away. I know, I know I am stalling but this program offers so much more and I like the fact you can actually have headers and footers in your document which the other program didn't offer and all programs are different and again the version of the program was an older program and we all know the newer versions have new features added. However I am quite satisfied and happy with this program and it gets 10 out of 10 rating even though I am still navigating around the program. Last little note is I just didn't get word but has other programs that came in the package and I will review it once I start using it.

                  Now the second purchase almost 55 dollars later so looking at me spending 250 dollars between but yesterday morning my old USB pretty much died, I couldn't delete or save files on there so I had to spend the money on a new one and I got the Verbatim USB which is amazing and I just started to use it this morning and it actually lets me password protect the USB so if it gets lost and someone puts in it they will not know the password to it and unable to open it which is great to have it password protected. This actually keeps the privacy of my documents and what is actually on there. It was worth the money to spend on the programs that I got and hopefully this is the end of my spending spree for a while so I can save up again as it has been spend, spend, spend recently. Anyways that is my post and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a movie review on the blog.

Differences Between The 2020 Graphics To The 2022 Graphics

           This is a good little break for Chris from blogging on the website as he's been so extremely busy with content, he can actually focus on things but I believe he is not in his studio today. Anyways, as you know Chris and myself have been extremely busy with getting ready for 2022. So as you all know, I have recently worked on the graphics for not just social media for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. What you see on the right side of my post is the 2020 version of the logo which now is outdated and time for an update. Don't get me wrong I love this logo and Chris did an amazing job on the graphics but he felt like it was time for an update in the logo after 2 years and I totally agreed with him on that point. Part of my job is the website side of things and the other half is the graphical end as I have studied both sides of things and he is in luck I happen to know both sides of it.

             The logo on the left side of this paragraph is the NEW 2022. Not much difference when it comes to the logo and the real only thing that has changed on the logo is the text and the read leaf and also the colour difference which is a ton darker then it was with the 2020 and Chris preferred it was darker to begin with. It was really tough to replicate his original logo to the exact and know the size of the text on all 3 levels but what matters is he is happy with the finished product. I can say it is the same size as the original and we tried and keep everything the same and colour of the text remains the complete same and unchanged along with the red leaf but the rest is different now. As he said, he will be making the changes on the 1st of January 2022 and I am excited for the changes and I have implemented the CBOTW Twitter logo to my own profile on Twitter to test and haven't removed it as he's given me the OK to leave it as it is. That is the difference and big thank-you to Chris for allowing me to make this post this morning and I will talk to you all around the ChrisBOnTheWeb Community.

End of The Week Updates [10-22-2021]

                It is that time of the week and I provided you some insight what has happened in the last week but I will reiterate it for you guys in this post. So much immense pressure when it comes to all the hard work I am putting into the content for the website alone, it's mentally exhausting! Anyways, here are my updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: As you all know, I have been working my tail off on recording episodes and got 4 of them done for the coming week, so in total 4 as I said, 3 regular (Last Sunday, This Sundays and next Sundays episodes are all recorded and done. Also the Bonus episode you heard yesterday went up that too was pre-recorded so I recorded a ton and everything is done for this podcast for least another week. It is a week by week basis pretty much. 

Power Rangers Collab Podcast: Now that Mystic Force is now behind us the podcast is ready to go and get posted up. So this is my OFFICIAL announcement that Power Rangers Mystic Force is going up tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm EST! Larry and I hope you guys really enjoy it!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Graphics: This is graphics across the website, ChrisBOnTheWeb.com, Facebook Group and Twitter.  Instagram doesn't allow banners so this is unaffected. This will be starting on January 1st, 2022 and we will be working on it after we're up on New Years Day and you will see across the board the changes.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com: On top of the graphical end of the imaging the banner, logo, etc, the menu bar is getting a long overdue overhaul in colours. Savannah has tried it prior and was Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, she fiddled with the CSS Code of the Menu bar, the menu worked just fine just the colors might of gone off but she got it changed without a problem but had changed it back. The only thing that has changed is the icon at the top of the tab where it says Chris B On The Web the icon had the Maple Leaf and CBOTW on it but now it hasn't. 

                 So those are my updates what has gone on in the last week, hope you guys have a great weekend and I will be speaking to you all Tuesday as Savannah wants to explain the changes to the logo so I will be back on Tuesday with another blog post so enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you then.

Overcame A lot of Things This Week!

                   I have overcome a lot of things in the last week. I will kind of highlight things from the past week what I have overcome:

1) Finishing up a very long and tiring Operation Overdrive Notes which was the long process and Jungle Fury will be a long process too and time consuming but it'll be done.

2) Getting 4 episodes of Entertainment Man Podcast done for the coming weeks as I will be very busy person moving forward and still one more season to do after Jungle Fury to finish and you can guess right, RPM. 

3) Completed Power Rangers Mystic Force Podcast and that was a long journey but got it done one way another.

                 So the next phase is to get 10 - 15 episodes per day, print em off then I am taking a week off from the collab then moving straight into RPM even tho we're a month and a half away. However recently I have dominated the workload and it is unlike me to get so much done in a very short time, however this is good I am getting things done and we're getting close to finishing up things for 2021 and slowly preparing for 2022 and more details are coming tomorrow. In the end I am proud of myself getting things done and resting and getting the extra sleep when I need it and the end of the year is very close and tons of stuff to get done still regardless.

All Eyes Are On The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Coming Out This Week!

                   I know it's been a month almost since Larry and I have recorded the Mystic Force and yes I have been holding onto the episode for weeks now and been promising to get it done. I have been working on it the last 2 - 3 days and moving quite quickly with the podcast and wanting to get it up this week. The criteria is not posting two episodes on the same day and I pre wrote this post so things could be different by the time this gets out, this could be done but again it will depend. I do not plan to sprung it today on you guys so if anything it will be up by Friday or Saturday and I will be announce this a day or so in advance depending how quickly I get it done and finished to upload. I promise it will not be on a Thursday as it is a bonus podcast day for me and I think 1 podcast a day is enough. 

                     I have ran scenarios in the back of my head that I could wait and I may have no other choice as if I post it Friday it's a day after the normal podcast goes up, if I post it Saturday it's so close to Sundays normal episode. You see my dilemma there, either way it cuts it so darn close and wish I had time Saturday, I would of edited it first and have it posted on Tuesday (yesterday) and it would of been 2 days apart but I am going to take the hit and if this means jeopardizing views on the other then so be it. All episodes gotta go up either way and if this affects the other shows I do then that's fine. However I do not think it will affect it whatsoever yet Sundays episode was a little slower in listens but still early and only mid week. It is hard to get listens on that podcast when it's twice a week. However all eyes on Mystic Force Collab Podcast right now and it has been all about the collab recently. That has been my main focus and shift to ensure we get to RPM and complete it by end of this year. We are close to caught right up with the podcast and we are very aware of our situation trying to be ready for February. I will have another update next week what Larry and I discussed in our meeting for right now I will talk to you all tomorrow and be on the lookout on social media for an announcement when the collab goes up!

Halton County Radial Museum- Fall 2021

           I know I have been to Halton recently but we returned for Streetcar rides and it was a fun day and yes I know I have been on the road a ton lately. So we got there and we have to show proof we're vaccinated so if you visit anywhere in Ontario, know you have show proof of vaccination. Anyways we had 3 choices of streetcars and not any street but 3 Generations of Streetcars, Peter Witt, PCC (Presidents Conference Car) and the CLRV. It is pretty cool there is 3 generations of Streetcars on Sunday. So we started with PCC # 4600 which was originally an 4500 numbered which recently had been repainted. Then we went into the barn to look around and noticed they are painted the Hamilton Streetcar so their progressing well with the project.

        Then we got onto the 4039 CLRV which brought back a ton of memories growing up as when I was younger these were the go to Streetcars we road around Toronto when my Dad and I went into the Big T.O. Anyways we road right back around and we got off and we grabbed the Peter Witt # 2894 which was the last car of the day and our visit. After we took some pictures around, took a picture of 4010 which is being repaired as I found out from their Instagram and glad their always making repairs to the fleet of streetcars and also I took a picture next to the colorful # 4178 which you can see a picture of me next to it. So in all, we had a great day and I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Silent Lake- Fall Colors 2021!

               On Friday when the End of The Week went up on the site here I was up North for the day since I finished up Operation Overdrive. Now the leaves, well some of them or most of them were all down on the ground as we went up a little too late. We should of done that a week or so before but we know for next year. Anyways we started our adventure down at the Day Beach with Lunch which consisted of Kielbassa, Cheese and crackers and grapes and water. Then we went to our old stomping grounds where we actually camped aka Camp ground # 127 at Silent Lake which we booked every year for 5 years or more but always great memories from there. We drove around the loop took some pictures as we went around and we parked and walked down to the dock and looked out then we got hiking to our other old stompin grounds Pincer Bay Beach & the rock which we spent a ton of time swimming and when I was younger making sand castles. 

We then had our Gatorades and went back on our way to the car. We stopped at our little rocky place we spent time at when we were in Granite Ridge Campgrounds and we headed our way home. However we went through Haliburton on the way home and the colors were spectacular but the problem there with that the leaves were mostly down by then so it wasn't as great as we thought but we have to go a bit earlier then usual instead of what we did on this trip. However it was a fun trip either way and yes it was a trip down memory lane once again for me and I am so glad to see people camping there and goes to show that camping is indeed very safe especially during this pandemic there is nothing unsafe about it whatsoever. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and tomorrow will be about Halton County Radial Museum.

End of The Week Updates

                       Another week has ended and it is of course time for another end of the week. It has been a busy last week, working on the collab all week long and got some news on the home front on this but here are the updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Things are going well with the podcast, the views continue to surprise me each and every episode. As you know the podcast is reaching new heights and with the end of the year coming fast and 2 months from today, I will be officially booking interviews for this podcast in 2 months from now on December 15th, 2021 which is 4 days prior to end of the season. As you know the podcast will have interviews every second week and in case there isn't an interview I have topics ready for back-up in case so I have something to talk about on the episode. Since I will be on a break from the collab, I have decided to pre-record episodes again so I can continue to strive and get the collab up to speed with episodes as that has been my primary focus recently. I haven't given this podcast much attention minus recording, editing and posting but will soon, don't worry. 

Website: On the website, we have updated the drop down menu under "About" with On-Going Projects and Previous Projects to Current Projects and Past Projects so the links have changed recently. However you can access it on any of the pages you are on under the "About" section of the website.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: This has been the talk recently and first thing I wanna talk about it yes i am currently holding onto Mystic Force which will be edited and released when I finish up Jungle Fury by end of the weekend a week Sunday from this Sunday as I am pushing the envelope even more. Hopefully by that week I'll be ready to start editing towards the final week of October and and have it up by the start of November. Now I have great news as you guys know, I have officially finished and printed off the notes for Operation Overdrive and now is put on the side till I finish Jungle Fury to send them off to Larry himself. 

                 That are my updates and I know it's quite a list  of updates but there are the updates and hope you have a great weekend and starting Monday, I have a few fun posts to make from Silent Lake to Halton County Radial Museum so it will be a busy first 2 days of the week but I will talk about it on Monday.
