patswope's posterous

I'm 22 and I currently live in Springfield, MO where I just graduated from Ozark Tech (media production degree). I do video production for a website called springfieldwebtv.com, and in my free time I've been studying web design and css. I currently run a website called 6-string-hq.com where we host guitar lessons (beginner to expert).

I've played guitar for 13 years and I'm still constantly educating myself with everything musically, which drove me to share my love of the instrument by offering online guitar lessons in hopes to reach an audience. (I don't teach the lessons, my older sibling, Phil, has played much longer than myself so he is the instructor.)

Phil plays for a band called "Brian Lumley and the Red Dirt Underground". They've played in several parts of the U.S. and are currently working on their second album. Check out their first CD on itunes, entitled "Backroads".

As for myself, I'm playing in a Faith No More cover band here in Springfield. There is talk of our bass player and drummer starting a metal band which I may be jumping in on, so we'll see what happens there. It's about time we make the music scene here come alive! I like to think of myself as a go getter. I'm very ambitious and always strive to create and get better in everything I do.

New to posterous...

I've never seen anything like posterous before. I discovered it a while back when visiting Joe Hickman's page, but I didn't realize the way you updated your posts. It's a bit different than anything else I've seen but I think I could get used to it.

H.264 Codec

Massive Quality, Minimal Files
H.264 uses the latest innovations in video compression technology to provide incredible video quality from the smallest amount of video data. This means you see crisp, clear video in much smaller files, saving you bandwidth and storage costs over previous generations of video codecs. H.264 delivers the same quality as MPEG-2 at a third to half the data rate and up to four times the frame size of MPEG-4 Part 2 at the same data rate. H.264 is truly a sight to behold.
