Under The Skin: (Episode 1)

 

In every episode of Under the Skin we are going to try and provide as detailed show notes as possible. Today we take the time to introduce ourselves, as well as let everyone know what our Podcast is all about.  Then we welcome Mike Bryant, one of the worlds most popular skinners, and co-founder of the SkinPlant.com.

Show Notes:
Under the Skin: Episode 1 , Recorded August 13, 2005.

Host: Paul Boyer
Guest Host: Kristin Hatcher.

Special Guest: Mike Bryant.

Intro, Skinning News:
Topics:
This week we spent a lot of time introducing ourselves and establishing the goals of what the Under the Skin is all about. I had a lot of help on this from Kristin Hatcher (Cordelia) who is known for her tutorials series Skinning for Newbies, and for hosting the tech news Podcast PowerUser TV. Kristin was kind enough to keep me from rambling too much. Also joining us for this was Mike Bryant, co-founder of SkinPlant.com.

Interview with Mike Bryant (MikeB314)
Topics:
Mike had a lot to say about his skinning experiences, from how he got into skinning, to how he has come to be one of the few skinners to actually make money doing it. Along the way we find out what tools he likes to use, and what he likes most - and least - about his work. To get MikeB314's skins, check out www.skinplant.com, and of course his wincustomize.com homepage at http://mikeb314.wincustomize.com.

From the boards:
Topics:
This is a segment that we did not get a chance to do this week due to time, but we will be trying to do it in the future. We will look at questions people are asking on the skinning site message boards and try and give them answers. If you have any questions please send them to undertheskin@gmail.com

Special thanks to Danny Dayton for the use of the "If You Display Joy" song; that was just too funny to pass up.

Since you ask for suggestions....how about an interview with Adam. It would be intersting to know some of the secrets or tips & tricks of Skinstudio and what new features might be coming with the release of Vista.
