Chuck Tomasi sent me this photo that he found from the first New Media Expo (called I think the Podcast and Portable Media Expo or something like that.) There are four early podcasters visible in the shot. I'm not sure about the cats in the background, if you can identify them let me know. Cool,...

An incident from my past was brought up at Balticon, in a story that Evo Terra regaled a group with one evening. I'll give the Reader's Digest condensed version. Podcast Expo 2006, it was year two of the Ontario California conference. We were reprising our "spontaneous poolside barbecue...
read articleConvention Season
I'm thinking a lot about conventions lately. This is the first year where not only am I not going to Podcast Expo but I never for a second even considered going. I was scheduled to speak last year but when it came down not only was my day job so crushing at the time but it had been for months and I...

read articleMy PME Talk Seems to Be Hitting the Right Nerves
Today I got several emails from people that I didn't already know thanking me for doing my talk at PME. The subject matter seems to be striking exactly the right nerve and helping people with that middle ground of the podcast life cycle. It seems like a fun and interesting thing to do, so you start...

Thanks to Darusha who let me know this went live today, I am proud to announce that my talk from the Podcast Expo is now available for download. I've already started receiving nice emails from strangers who found it useful. At the risk of auto-horn-tooting, I'd suggest that if you are sick of the...

Craig Patchett emailed me to let me know that he had published the show with his interview of me from PME. At first, I had no recollection of getting interviewed by Craig although I know I ran into him several times. It wasn't until I listened to the show that I remembered it. It must have been late...

Wow, most of this was written in the first couple of days after I got back from California, but it has just taken this long to post. In lieu of experiencing Converge South, here I post the balance of my antics from Portable Media Expo. Saturday I didn't get up brutally early but I was still at the...

read articleLeif Does It For Love
Reading this report of my talk makes me very very happy: Leif really enjoyed the hobbiest track at the expo and was re-energized by Dave Slusher’s session on doing it for love. Would you podcast if your audience was small or non-existent? Don’t get overly caught up in sticking to your show format...

Here's my PME 2006 rundown, which I've been writing somewhat all along but just haven't punched into final form yet. I'll break this down into separate posts as it makes sense. Right now I'm too tired to look up the links for everything. I'll add the missing ones in later. Let's pick up where I...

I've got PME writeups to write and posts, a bunch of interviews to make into episodes of the podcast, all kinds of various things to do but last night I was so zonky that all I could do was read email and news feeds and then look at PME pictures on Flickr. Yesterday was a rough day at work trying to...

I'm home from PPME 2006 after a grueling day of travel followed by sleep in my own bed and now I get to get up and go to work. It was a fun weekend, but for relaxation this is not the best strategy. Today I'll try to write up the overview of the expo before I start to forget all the details. Thanks...

I think I'm going to fold the computer tent for most or all of the rest of the day. I'm going to trade the iBook for the Marantz and do interviews around with people for the balance of the afternoon. Too much gear and you become your own sherpa, and that ain't fun. Later,...

It's been a nonstop whirlwind since I got up yesterday, and I hadn't even opened the laptop in the almost 24 hours since the talk. I did a panel with Ray Slakinski at the Podango booth, I met up with Susan Kitchens and we hung out for a while. I had long political talks about voter turnout and the...

read articleInformation Overload
The biggest bit of stress I have out of the whole Podcast Expo is remembering people. I've talked to so many people, met so many last year, received so many comments and audio bits and logos over the last few weeks. If I meet you and don't immediately recognize your name, or the name of your show or...

I'm sitting at the gate at MYR. Because I'm a travel spaz, I went ahead and got here plenty early and decided to chill. Since there is free wifi at the gate, it made more sense to pack and check in several hours before the flight left than to answer email up until time to leave. I'm just answering...

Podcast Expo EOF BBQ Originally uploaded by Kreg. Last year, one of the great things about PME last year was the impromptu BBQ on Saturday night.

I've had to decline a heartbreaking number of invitations to come to conventions and/or conferences this year. In several cases, I was invited to speak or lead sessions and I just couldn't do it. Being in a job situation without vacation contributed a lot, where I would have to not only pay my way...
