Harrison Clarity. Just the Videos M’am.

September 11, 2009 By Visio Guy Leave a Comment

blitz-1Harry Miller, video producer. The guy who filmed: five of the biggest Visio Nerds that ever lived. He’s been busy.

Creating instructional Visio videos. With a 40’s detective theme. Short. Succinct. Cool jazz music. Just the facts M’am. Dragnet. Humphrey Bogart. You get the picture.

Harrison Clarity is the star. I call him H.C. Throaty voice. Gets to the point.

Top 10 Visio Things That Have Nothing To Do With Visio

July 24, 2009 By Visio Guy 5 Comments

non-visio-things-smallOk, this article will really screw up Bing and Google.

Did you know that you can work with Visio all day in the office, and take Visio supplements to keep your tired and bleary eyes from degenerating?

Then you can drive home in your Visiodrive car to your Visio house. After taking the baby for a short walk in his Visio stroller, you can plop down on the couch and watch your Vizio monitor–after you’ve pulled the shades over your Visio Glas windows, of course! If the vitamins didn’t work, you might have to watch the TV with your Visio-assisted artificial vision system!

And if your day was really hard, you can find spiritual solace at the the alter of Visio Dei, or recharge your mind and body with a few sessions at Visio Form!

And you thought  it was just diagramming software!
