Two years might sound like a long time. In my life, its not. Its been already two years since I graduated high school. And two years from now, I will be graduating college.

(more…)

Two more weeks before school is out… then back to school 2 weeks after. The warm weather is coming and I can’t wait for the summer vacation! Of course, I’ll be working very hard this summer! I am expected to work 6 days a week and having a second job at FTC for three times a week.

And did everyone heard? The Afternoon Show is moving to earlier time slot, because of recent complaints from the Nerd Night Crew. The Afternoon Show is planning to start at noon and end at 4. I made the change because of everyone complaining at me when we hang out on Fridays.

I hope listeners won’t mind the new time slot. The new time slot will begin in late June.

I would like to give my deepest condolences to the family, friends and community of the Virginia Tech tragedy.

When I first heard about the tragedy Monday morning, I couldn’t believe how this can happen at a college. As a broadcaster of reporting breaking news for WRAJ and WFTU throughout the day, it was hard for me to report of what I was saying from the AP wire on-air. In my mind at the time, the only thing I could think of is how can happen to thousands of students my age with great talent and skills  face the dangerous shooting rampage in this country’s history.

Last night, the first radio theater production at my college was a success! The production took place on the main stage at Five Towns, and was aired on WFTU. Johnny Got His Gun, The Hitchiker, and The Adventures of Superman’s Batman’s Great Mystery was performed last night.
In the audience at the theater, we had about 30 people, I think. And the next day, we learned that our streaming server was full with over 100 listeners!

By the success, it turns out that starting in the fall semester, there will be a radio theater production every other week.

I’m glad that I helped out with this new project and being part of it!

Hey everyone,

I have some news that some of you might find upsetting. After searching for a new home for many months, I just leased a new apartment in San Francisco and I will be moving into my new home in the summer. The apartment is located in Cow Hollow, off of Union and Webster street. The apartment is pretty cool, it has a great view of the city and the bay, 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, a kitchen, and a den. I am looking for a room-mate, so call me up if you are interested and I’ll let you know how much it will cost and everything.

I am planning to attend New College (which is nearby San Francisco) for the fall to continue my mass communications major.

Many people questioned me, what will happen to WRAJ? WRAJ Internet Radio, as well as Jenthony Enterprises, Inc., will be moving into my new home as well. I am planning Friday, July 27, 2007, will be the last day of the station broadcasting from Long Island.

I hope no one will be upset by the news. I will promise to stop by Long Island from time to time when I move into my new home.

By demand (I’m assuming), there are now more pictures from I-CON in the Photo Gallery on wrajradio.com. Click here to see them.

Videos are still coming as we launch our new Video Gallery section with Video Podcasting technology by the end of this week.

And this Friday for School, Mary and I are going to put on some of our costumes (Mary will wear her ears and I will wear my Mario Hat and bring the Shrooms) and we will wear it to school!

Besides the troubled RIAA and CRB problems bothering my life with WRAJ, I did attend the IBS conference in New York City last weekend. Friday was the fun day, while Saturday was the boring day.

I got into the conference a few minutes late Friday because of parking issues I had the train station. Later, I got into interesting conversations with several other students from different colleges. I stayed at the conference till 6 until I left to go out to eat. I did stay at the same hotel the conference was held that night, and Saturday night as well.
No one from Five Towns went Saturday, besides my friend Rob. I was in several panels on Saturday, After attending several panels on Saturday, I meet up with my sister Jen and friends, Jim and Fred. We went to Rockefeller Plaza later that night and purchased ‘Sorry’ at Toys ‘R Us in Times Square (Why did we get it, I don’t know). Sunday morning, Jim and I went to Top of the Rock and what a great view!

I will be attending the IBS, the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System, conference this March and yet again I will be in a panel at the conference. I am unsure at this time which ones I will be in, but I’ll let you know when the time comes.

The last time I was a panel speaker at a conference was at the Live365 conference back in April 2004 and May 2005 in San Francisco, California. Now those conferences were great, especially when my friends were all drunk at the after party lol!

Well my sixth, I think, semester started last week and for some reason I’m not too comfortable. First, I am not happy with my journalism class, and my schedule is all screwy. I guess that’s life, especially with a good station like mine to operate on the side.

Well, since early this year, we’ve been having bandwidth problems (aka internet problems). The internet has been going slower, causing buffering issues on the station to occur more often then usually, especially when someone else uses the internet on our network. We are currently looking for a seperate ISP line for the station so this won’t happen, mostly this will be replaced by the new Verizon FiOS service.
