Welcome to Gotshoo?, proudly serving the inter-tubes since 2000. Gotshoo? is the personal of Chris Scheufele, that's me. I live in Springfield, Illinois with my wife and two dogs, Buddy and Clancy. I work during the day as an IT consultant and play at night with a freelance company called After Hours Development, and put together cool projects like Spfldbloggers.com
When I am not tinkering with computers and code, I am taking pictures trying to keep up with my daily photo, or riding my bike, or playing with the dogs.

I am trying out a new flashed based video service called Vimeo. YouTube is huge, time to find something that not everyone knows about. Vimeo seems to be different in that you get a RSS feed to your videos, the gui for the video player is super clean, and quality seems to be much better.
The downfall was that I could not upload a MP4 (quicktime) file, so I had to re-encoded the files to 512k 640×480 WMV (windows). I think you might be able to get away with using mpeg.
Any thoughts?
As November 7th rolls out, ask yourself, “What on Earth Are They Saying?”
New fav podcast of the moment: 90 Seconds of Dave
Okay, I am ready to do a new podcast, but I do not know what direction to go with…
In the queue of ideas:
1. Mountain Biking with Shoo – Fade in’s and out’s of me riding by bike, killer 80’s music in the background, jumping some hills.. Maybe a crash or two. And helmets.
2. Nerd-alert! Windows Vista demoed for the masses.
3. Boy-o-Buddy – Montage of Buddy tearing things up and playing fetch. This is a given. These come periodically.
4. Springfield Nightlife – A look at downtown Springfield for those who don’t get out during the weekends.
5. Other.
Doing a little search on some new podcasts and I came across this one: Crash Test Kitchen. I like it and I like this recipe. May have to pick up some feta and peas next time I am at the store.
This is a weird video, but neat site Neave.tv. Digging through it right now.
I was having a really crappy morning till I saw this. Aww…thank you Ask-A-Ninja!
I am big fan of ninjas. Ever since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Double Dragon for Nintendo, and Blood Sport the movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Stumbled across this podcast as I was looking for a new pair of ninja sweats.
This mini-movie made my Tuesday morning.
Yeta, has got the angles. The angles, the myspace angles. All the ugly chicks on myspace have them.
Tonight is the big game with the 6th-ranked Illini vs. the 7th-ranked Spartans.
A little “Chief” to get us all excited for the game. I took this video at the game vs. SEMO.
It goes without saying “I am a nerd.” This is one of my favorite Xmas presents, my popcorn maker. Everyone come over Saturday night, I’ll make some popcorn.
