Yes, I’ll be speaking at Podcamp AZ again this year. And yes, you’re probably sick of listening to me drone on and on and on and on…
Do you know the best way to combat OverEvo Syndrome? Get your ass up there and speak yourself! What, are you chicken? Then try the second-best way: nominate one [...]

PodCampAZ is on a 5-year mission

June 14, 2011

Tweet

Well, that’s not true. But it is the 5th year that PodCampAZ has been around. No, I’m still not helping organize the event, but I will be presenting. Again.
If you’re anywhere near AZ, I highly recommend making plans to attend this year. I’m giving you plenty of advance notice. The 5th PodCampAZ takes place November [...]

The best zombie book you’re not reading

June 7, 2011

Stop whatever it is that you are doing. Because whatever it is (likely reading this post on-site or through your reader), it pales in comparison with the directive I am about to give you.
Purchase Feed by Mira Grant. You can get it for your Kindle. Or if you prefer the dead tree version, buy that. [...]

Why My Nephew’s Name is Cesar Twisty McSpinnington

Tweet

The following is the true story of the arrival of my nephew as witnessed by my mother, Vickie. The images accompanying the story were all taken during the event, and the texts are both real and unadulterated. As the kids say, this is some crazy shit, yo. – Evo

Bad Ass Brews Cruise and Me

May 15, 2011

Tweet

Yesterday kicked off American Craft Beer Week. I celebrated by taking part in the Ameri”CAN” Bad Ass Brews Cruise. Along with a hundred or so other more-beer-than-bike fans, I rode about 20km on a four pub route.
 
But don’t let my full regalia of biking gear fool you, this event placed much more emphasis on brew [...]

For the last fucking time…

Yay – An exclamation used to express extreme happiness or joy. E.g., Yay! She touched my pee-pee!

Yeah – Colloquialism for “yes”. E.g., Yeah, your inability to get this right is kinda pissing me off.

The best science fiction author you probably aren’t reading

October 12, 2010

Tweet

On the plane coming home from Denver this weekend, I polished off The Evolutionary Void
by Peter F. Hamilton. It’s the third and final (duh) story in the The Void Trilogy… and now I have to wait for new stuff. Dammit.
Peter is, by far, my favorite science fiction author. He weaves intricate plots and [...]

Can I get a cup of coffee?

April 11, 2010

Tweet

Clearly, I am an enigma. Offer me a quality craftbrew beer and I can wax poetically about a host of subtle nuances that are completely undetectable — or unpalatable — to most consumers of beer. I can do the same (to lesser degrees) with scotch, sushi, tequila and chili rellenos.
But I have to scratch [...]

Yes, I still write about podcating sometimes

March 8, 2010

Tweet

Recently I was asked to write an article about podcasting. I don’t do it very often, probably because I’ve said about all I had to say in the 2.5 books I co-authored on the subject. But this was an article about podcasting and fiction, and I haven’t wrote extensively about that. I do that extensively, [...]

March 4, 2010

W007! Just found out that I’ve been selected as one of the presenters at Ignite Phoenix the Sixth! I’m totally stoked!
When I wrapped up Ignite Phoenix #4, I said that had reached the end of my three-part series on Big. I sat out — as in, in the audience — for Ignite Phoenix #5 [...]

Breaking off the business

December 25, 2009

Tweet

Over the last 45 days or so, I’ve used this blog to see if I could change my focus. Specifically, I wanted to know if I could write posts tailored to entrepreneurs, organizations and businesses. I’ve been encouraged by those entities, whether at speaking engagements or as a consultant, to talk more on business topics. [...]

The 5 stages of tribalization

December 20, 2009

Tweet

There’s been a lot of talk lately about tribes. Much of if focused on how to build them. If fact, we operate within tribes on a daily basis. As this video from TEDx USC points out, everyone is in some stage of tribalization. Even those on the outside looking in.

My initial reaction was to ask [...]

A fishin’ break for teh funny

December 17, 2009

Tweet

No new insightful blog post today, though I’ll return to that shortly.
Instead, here’s something for the media producers out there. Let it act as a reminder that what you see as the final product likely is not a true representation of what the camera captured. It’s short, but I laughed until I nearly peed [...]

A little cleanup to the categories

December 6, 2009

Tweet

I spent a LOT of time cleaning up the categories on this blog. Now that I’ve shifted directions a bit, my old structure didn’t make a lot of sense.
I didn’t delete the old stuff1. And none of the old links to content should change at all. But you should notice a [...]

I’m on Thesis

September 13, 2009

… but I’m a crappy layout dude. So bear with me as I work through the pain of figuring out what’s going on.
And the RSS feed is still broken. Was hoping the new theme would clear that up. Not so much.

My RSS feed is broken

September 13, 2009

Tweet

Unure what is going on, but my RSS feed seems to be broken. It’s not throwing errors, it’s throwing blanks.
This could be the result of my recent upgrade to the latest Wordpress version 2.8.4 . I was many, many revs behind.
This could be the result of the ancient-ass Theme I’m using. Yeah, I said [...]

I’ve been preaching the decentralized nature of feedback for some time. After years of trying to force people to comment where I wanted them to, I finally gave up. This was a couple of years ago, and I’ve spent the remaining time [...]
