Benzoid

I just returned from the New Media Expo out in Vegas. Had a great time, and met many people. When I would give my business card to someone and they looked at “The Benziod Report” they were confused at what it was about. I would tell them it’s just my little audio blog that was basically me talking to friends and playing a little music sometimes. It was hard to explain why the name “Benzoid Report”.

Here is how the name happened:

A good ham radio friend of mine, Big Al Snyder, KB8FJB lived in Benzie County Michigan ( a few miles from where I was at the time) and he used to call people from Benzie County “Benzoids” (not to be confused with the drug class of the same name) . So, a few years later, I moved to a small town in Benzie County called Lake Ann. When I started podcasting (late 2004) I thought, Benzoid Report would be a good name for it, and it was. Lots of people know of it by the funny name. Lots of new people I meet don’t understand what it’s about.

So, from here on out, this podcast and blog will be called Mike Dell’s World which more accurately describes what you are going to hear and see on the blog, videos and podcasts. In this case, YES, it is all about me. The webiste will be moved at some point to www.mikedell.com but you will not have to change any bookmarks or feed settings as I will have things forward from www.benzoidreport.com

Now I will get people that confuse me with the other Michael Dell at Dell Inc. (by the way, YES, I am THE REAL Michael Dell!)

I’m going to keep the numbering of the show so the next one out will be Mike Dell’s World #92.

Talk to you then!

-Mike
