I took a trip to New York City for business on March 12th. Since we are based in the west coast, our knowledge of the NBC News business is very limited. The main objective of this trip was to familiarize ourselves NBC News' business processes. We toured CNBC, the tape warehouse and libraries, the Nightly News studio, the Dateline studio, the SNL studio, the Conan studio, and the broadcast facilities. I have been a fan of CNBC since high school, so it was very exciting to tour the CNBC facilities. To top it all off at CNBC, I met Maria Bartironmo.

I also took this opportunity to meet up with a couple of friends and was lucky enough to be invited to a Rangers hockey game.

Here are a few highlights from my trip.

I took a trip to Asia with my parents in the beginning of February. The first stop on Feb. 4th was Hong Kong. Here are a few highlights from the first day in Hong Kong.

NBC has made a dramatic decision to make NBC Nightly News episodes available as free Video Podcast on iTunes without commercials. New episodes will be available at 10 PM EST every weekday. Will CBS, FOX, and ABC follow in NBC's lead?
