Meeks Mixed Media Celebrates 2 Years!
It’s hard to believe, but Meeks Mixed Media is now two years old! To celebrate I am hard at work on a complete re-design of the site and shot a video (above) where I discuss some of the highlights from the past two years and talk about where Meeks Mixed Media is heading in 2010. I’d like to thank Kirk Harnack (of the This Week in Radio Tech podcast) for providing narration, Doug Davenport Jr. (of Atomsplit) for providing the great testimonail, and all my clients over the past to years for keeping me in business!
As far as how Meeks Mixed Media got started, I was working at a small manufacturing company doing web design and video production. My manager told me a client of the company liked our website and wanted to hire him on a freelance basis to create one for his company. He asked me if I’d be interested in doing everything on the programming side and splitting the money. I was more than willing, of course, and he said he’d let me know. A few weeks went by and he told me the project was being put on hold so I shrugged my shoulders and hoped for a raise as I had a child on the way and wasn’t making enough to support my burgeoning family.

Shout Out on WeirdThingsTV
As mentioned in the last post on the old blog I’m now writing 5 days a week for WeirdThings.com. I’m about two weeks in and having a blast. What I didn’t mention in the original blog post is that there is also a semi-daily video component where Justin Robert Young covers the weirdest of the weird stories reported on the site. He has featured several of my stories on it before but I’m posting this one today because I got a shout out for a story about a Russian science experiment that re-animated the head of a dog.
Here are the stories I’ve posted thus far, and please subscribe to WeirdThingsTV. Justin needs some friends!

Starting Monday Bill Meeks joins Weirdthings.com
My First Story on Weird Things
Starting this Monday I’ll be a regular contributor to Justin R. Young’s Weird Things blog. I’m most aware of Justin from his co-hosting duties on the NSFW podcast on TWiT, but he’s also worked for several newspapers and was an associate producer at G4TV in 2009. Here’s a description of the site:
Weird Things is a blog dedicated to people who love both science and are fascinated by the impossible and fantastic. It’s for people who believe a mystery is interesting no matter the outcome.
Our goal is to bring our readers interesting content on a daily basis; consisting of original features and links worth looking at.
I’ll be writing an article 5 days a week starting this Monday, June 7th. You can follow my articles specifically here, but please visit WeirdThings.com for all the latest in the world of weird from Justin, Andrew Mayne, Matt Finley, and myself. And there’s already one article up: Werewolf Teenagers Grip West Texas.
