I did a 45-minute podcasting presentation at MEMO yesterday which focused on some of the practical aspects of podcasting. One of the things we talked a bit about was equipment for video podcasting.

7:16 a.m. Ugh. That's a bit earlier than I like for air travel departures. But at least I have several days of interesting conversations and endless audio editing to look forward to.
NECC is back and in Atlanta this year. I'll be doing two identical half-day workshops (Podcasting—The New Voice for ...

I'm a pretty sneaky guy, and I believe in the power of leaders leading with technology. So when our Director of H.R. asked me if I had any ideas about how we could streamline the process of recording applicant interviews, I thought it was a great opportunity to get the ...

I'll be in San Francisco this weekend for the National School Boards Assocation annual conference. I don't think I'll be doing any podcast recording, but I'll be hanging out at the Apple booth talking with people about podcasting. I'm working the morning shift on Saturday and Sunday, and I'd love ...

There doesn't seem to be much blogging, podcasting, and tagging going on at this year's TIES Conference. Scott McLeod put his lunch time session online in audio form. So far a Technorati search reveals a grand total of three different people who've tagged a blog post with the "ties2006" tag.
There ...
