Contemplative. Funny how that get pronounced a couple of different ways.
Time to change the look of this blog. It’s cluttered and serves too many purposes right now. So I’m going for a minimalist approach. I kinda dig this color [...]

We’ve also received our first batch of [...]

Podcamp AZ

April 28, 2007

Tweet

Last night, the Brooklyn Bluesman hooked me up with Jeremy from the Second Life Podcast to let me know about PodCamp AZ happening in my back yard. I’m now signed up and am looking forward to helping make this happen.
I’m involved with so many podcasts that come out of FarPoint Media that I honestly forget [...]

Win a copy of Tobias Buckell’s Crystal Rain

April 27, 2007

Tweet

My friends at The Dragon Page Cover to Cover (my voice has been silent there for a while, but I’ll come back — promise!) are giving away copies of Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell.
I really enjoyed this book. Dsytopian steam-punk far future stuff. With blimps. Very cool and quite different than anything I’d experience prior. [...]

The perils of print

April 27, 2007

Tweet

I took this from a post Jason Calacanis made recently. He’s been railing on a guy from Wired who wanted to interview Jason, but the journalist refused to conduct the interview. Jason stuck to his guns, citing the fact that it’s way too easy to misquote someone in a vocal interview, but damn near impossible [...]

LepreCon schedule announced

April 24, 2007

Tweet

Moments ago, I received my schedule for LepreCon. I thought I had requested Saturday times, but maybe I said Friday. Whatever. I can make it work. However, there seems to be a conflict with the last two. Think I’ll go to the second and then head to the third, assuming they are holding it in [...]

Three down, 48 to go!

April 24, 2007

Tweet

Last night I knocked out Practice #1 and got about halfway through #3 in the forthcoming title Expert Podcasting Practices for Dummies. I’m a bit behind, as need to have (after #3 is finished) and additional three Practices in the can to meet my deadline on Monday. So I’m a little stressed.
Hey, does anyone know [...]

Breaking free of traditonal constraints with digital content

April 21, 2007

Tweet

Yesterday I received the inaugural edition of Blogger & Podcaster magazine. Quite a few of my friends and even more of my peers contribute to this effort, and I wish them the best of luck.
B&PM tries very hard to deliver the “print” experience in a digital format, with familiar tasks such as “turning” pages. They [...]

From Commentors to Contributors: Building Rabid Fans – a PNME talk @ Podango

April 21, 2007

Tweet

While the above phrase is a working title, I’m pleased to announce that Lee Gibbons from Podango has asked me to speak in the Expo hall on the topic of not only getting feedback, but also on incorporating that feedback into your podcast.
I’m already on one “official” panel at the Third Annual Podcast & New [...]

This is going up a tad early today, but I’m on the fly.
The big news is that Podiobooks.com is back and in action. I got up way too early and started updating books, because listeners have been waiting way [...]

Holy cow do I feel better after a massage. Sure, the hair has looked better, but I’m limber, mellow and have a nice fuzzy glow about me. Maybe I should capitalize on this and write?
Well, first I have much [...]

International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day – April 23

April 15, 2007

Tweet

In honour of Dr Hendrix [read his original luddite rant – e.t.), I am declaring Monday 23rd April International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day. On this day, everyone who wants to should give away professional quality work online. It doesn’t matter if it’s a novel, a story or a poem, it doesn’t matter if it’s already been [...]

April 13, 2007

Tweet

On more than one occasion, someone has lamented the fact that we attended the same event but managed to miss each other. Even more frequently, people want to meet with me at these events, yet don’t know my full schedule.
I aim to change both of this right now with my Schedule of Appearances calendar.
