What is said

00:00:00 — Why Hank has been absent: EcoGeek's workload after losing its employee

  • ★★ Hank says he has been absent mostly because of EcoGeek, which is doing very well. — 00:00:00 · EcoGeek
  • ★★ EcoGeek's one employee left for a bigger position, so Hank is doing all his old work again; he is hiring and may have found someone. (hedged) — 00:00:00 · EcoGeek

  • ★★ Hank recorded news segments for Discovery's new green channel Planet Green, sometimes a three-minute spot on clean technology, for which they sent him a new camera. — 00:00:37
