The Land of the Free
I had a little talk with Scarborough Dude last night. It’s sort of a biannual thing, my little talks with the Dude. It usually revolves around a Podcamp, some coffee or a beer. It always makes me want to write. He’s a wise man. Last night’s talk took place in a loud, boisterous room filled […]
My Low Tech Approach to Podcamp
This weekend I’m thrilled to be attending my 2nd Podcamp Montreal. Last year’s inaugural event was, to say the least, fantastic.

How to Explain RSS to Your Mom
I am a virtual attendee of Podcamp Toronto 2008. Sadly I was not able to be there in person, so this is the next best thing. I just sat in on a session lead by social media guru Chris Brogan. One thing Chris is great at is putting things into a context that anyone can […]
