Flying the Starship Enterprise and uploading videos

This video came up today (there is a Star Trek exhibit coming to a museum in Louisville) and I thought everyone around here had seen this.  I worked at a station in Cincinnati in the 80's and this was for a promotion with Star Trek - The Next Generation.  They flew us out to Universal Studios and we met the entire cast of both shows.   (And FYI,  Shatner is a pain in the posterior.)  Diane Douglas saw this and now calls me Secret Squirel.  So enjoy - I now have my own You Tube channel (MarkElliottWIKY) and I think I can upload videos to it from my phon

I hate to ask... BUT

I would really like to win something.  A Courier and Press Reader's Choice or Evansville Living "Best Of" is probably not attainable without me buying hundreds of newspapers and magazines.  But I found this contest from a TV show, and I would love to participate.

Here's the deal from the LIVE with Regis and Kelly website..

I might be a little tired this afternoon

I hung around the newsroom last night helping with election coverage, and I know that many of you are SHOCKED!  Yes, I am a political junkie and enjoyed every minute.  After I got home, I started watching TV since the races in California and the West Coast were just getting decided, fell asleep in the recliner and woke up in a daze.  So if I'm a little slow or lethargic Wednesday afternoon, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Happy Halloween

As I've said on the air this week, this is not one of my favorite holidays.  But I'm trying to get in the spirit.  Check out the video link on my page to see some pretty good Halloween pranks.

I slept thru it.

Hope the storm didn't bring down any trees in your yard and you didn't lose power.  While all the experts say it was a powerful storm (what did DJB call it, a "land bomb" ) it didn't affect me much - I SLEPT THRU IT.

Elvis back in Vegas!

Monday I played "Suspicious Minds" - the new version from Viva Elvis.   This is the latest Cirque de Soleil show in Las Vegas.  Cirque de Soliel takes the music and adapts it for their performance, and then gets dancers, acrobats and all sorts of special effects.  They did it with The Beatles and it was a rousing success.  If you want more info about it, here's the link to their website:

Check your voter status online or from your phone

The election is just two weeks away.  I'm very proud of being someone who has consistently voted over the years,  and yes I do brag about it.

13 mismatched socks

First load of laundry in my new washing machine, I spend the evening washing, drying etc.  Go to fold and put away, and I end up with 13 mismatched socks.   How can, in one load, the dryer eat that many.  I know, I know, they are probably under the bed or on the bathroom floor, but it doens't bode well on my laundry sorting and doing future does it?

Somedays...

 So I come to the studio at 3pm ready for another great show, and here's what happens:

1) Our music computer is run with a touch screen, which has worked just fine ALL DARN DAY until I begin and it just shuts down.

2) We get a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Warrick County and I've got to get hold of Chad Sewich at 14 for an update.  He's not answering..

3) It's time to do the ATM game!!!!!!!

The Era We Live In

I went to my sister's wedding this weekend.  I had a really good time, but there is a rumor that a video of me dancing the Macarena is now somewhere on You Tube.   Great!

Welcome to the NEW WIKY web page.

WIKY and our digital partners at South Central Media have been working for a long time to develop this new and hopefully easier to use web page for WIKY.  Take some time and explore it, check out the menu items, and let me know if you see anything that doesn't work.  Email me at mark@wiky.com. 

This is my new blog posts.  I'll try (and I do mean try) to post something about the show every day.  Got an idea?  Please send it to me at mark@wiky.com.  See you on the radio.
