That was way back in September of 2011, and whenever I've had some spare time, I've been improving on the original design. When we bought our fixer-upper house, there was a small 9x10 room that we thought would lend itself to being an ideal studio, and the Skype Studio project was born.
I decided to build it because I was doing a lot of video appearances as a result of my books, and the quality of those appearances, to be kind, was pretty bad. I introduced what I then called my Skype Studio project to you as my very first article here on ZDNet's DIY-IT.
