Video of zombies attacking Jonathan Coulton

August 19, 2008

Tweet

Props to Hellziggy for capturing this amazing video of the zombie attack on Jonathan Coulton during the Coverville 500 show at the New Media Expo.

For those unfamiliar with the song, I recommend watching the whole thing. For those who know it and just want to get to the “good parts”, the hi-larity ensues at [...]

Pimps & Hoes II: The Wrath of Bone announcement

August 17, 2008

Tweet

Speaking of Dragon*Con… I’m going against my better judgment and sub-letting the Podiobooks.com Party Suite to Scott Sigler one night. Yeah, there’s going to be a huge mess to clean up.
Some come on out, Junkies and drink some beer on me. No, not literally on me, you miscreants. But I’m buying. Which is something else [...]

Post New Media Expo thoughts

August 17, 2008

Tweet

I’ve just returned from the 4th annual “Podcast Expo”, though it’s official title is the New Media Expo. It’s changed names each and every year including this one. But to many of us, it’s still and always will be the Podcast Expo. It’s not so much that we’re traditionalists, it’s that we’re easily confused.
This was [...]

Evo’s Dragon*Con Schedule

August 11, 2008

Tweet

Just heard from the programming track at Dragon*Con. I was sorta hoping to avoid speaking on panels, but that’s just because I can be a cantankerous bastard on occasion. Looking over what they’ve got me doing, I’m pretty pleased.

Helping out with The Social Media Bible

August 10, 2008

Tweet

A few months ago I was introduced to Lon Safko at a local Phoenix event. The details are fuzzy, but through a series of mutual acquaintances, it was decided that Lon and I needed to get together. He was (and still is) busy compiling data and gathering “experts” for The Social Media Bible, due out [...]

February 2, 2008

Tweet

Well, not really. But Dave did interview me on the Morning Announcements show for School of Podcasting. and has released the show. Actually, he released it about a week ago, but I’ve been so damned busy that I’ve barely had time to eat and drink, let alone post nifty stuff like this.
I need a break.

Evo talking on Writers Talking

July 23, 2007

Tweet

I had the honor of appearing on Writers Talking recently. Just to make things fun, I decided to phone-in the interview from the airport. Well, that’s not true. Yes, I was at the airport, but chalk it up to poor planning on my part and not some desire to make a nifty sound-seeing tour of [...]

My last podcast appearance might not be where you thought it was

June 11, 2007

When we were out at Balticon, we stayed with the incredibly generous and cool Paul Fischer and Martha Holloway. They let us crash at their place and explore the D.C. area, saving me tons of cash in hotel charges. To top it off, they were awesome hosts!
While we were there, I recorded an ADD [...]

May 12, 2007

Paul and crew seem to be running Balticon with a much tighter ship than I’m used to. Quite often, I get my con schedule days before the event. All to frequently, I first learn of when and where I’m I’m supposed to talk when I check in to the con. But not these folks. My [...]
