My Sunday

Dylan’s first baseball game this morning. Looking forward to it since it is the perfect spring day out there.
Then up to NH to see my Grandmother. She’s going through radiation right now and I want to check in and cheer her up. Also, my parents have a new chocolate lab puppy that I can’t wait […]

My Podcast Academy Presentation

As promised my presentation from Podcast Academy Boston is right here.
As soon as the archive of the video is up I’ll add it here as well.
One note if you are seeing the presentation for the first time I always keep my slides rather open and talk to the points so the presentation itself is a […]

Podcast Academy Interview

Haven’t watched this yet, but just found the link to an interview I did during lunch yesterday.
It’s a .m4v file so your best bet is iTunes to watch it.

Why Do We Need Labels?

A nickel isn’t much is it? It’s not where I come from, but in the land of Sony I guess it is, because word is that is how much they are paying The Allman Brothers and Cheap Trick for each iTunes download.
Read the story here. Read how yet another label is screwing over an […]

End of Day 1

My time at the Podcast Academy got cut a little short tonight when I got a call from Laura saying that she was sick. Of course it happened at the height of rush hour. Oh joy!
This is a picture of the cool bag that the instructors got full of fun schwagg. I’m a sucker for […]

Podcast Academy

Sitting here at Podcast Academy with Sam Levin on one side. Steve Garfield and Michael Geoghegan are in front of me. Great to see some old friends again as our paths don’t cross nearly as much as I would like it to.

There is a live stream of this so if you couldn’t […]

Back From NYC

I’m back, but I’m certainly NOT awake yet.
I haven’t seen that much rain in a LONG time and the walk did not go well at all. But, 6 of us completed it with big smiles on our faces. The picture above is the whole team at the beginning. We haven’t even walked yet and already […]

Wet, Wet, Wet

It is completely wet and shitty here in NYC. This walk is going to suck ass, but thankfully we’ll have all of us to keep smiling.
It’s not reflective on the web yet, but we found out yesterday that the team recieved a $5,000 donation. That rocks. So that puts the total at $22,000 raised by […]

In NYC

The bus ride out to NYC for the MS Walk was uneventful and nice and quick. If you haven’t donated yet I only need $225 to hit the $4,000 mark which would be very cool. http://www.helpingthecause.com if you’ve got a last minute urge to donate.
Getting huge hugs from Lee Ann and Amanda totally made this […]

RHCP

Not very often I get overly excited about a major lable release, but the Red Hot Chili Peppers are an excpetion to that.

I pre-ordered their new CD and can’t wait to hear it. They’ve had some ups and downs, but when they are on they are down right amazing in my book.
Blood Sugar Sex Magik […]

Second Life

I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to get done any of the stuff I want to in Second Life, but I need to make that happens.

This picture shows me checking out Adam’s ride. I hung out at the castle for a bit this morning to check out his new digs. He certainly […]

Update From Stupid Bike People

They called to say that they ordered the part TODAY!!!!!
I hope there is a real manager there when I go back so that I can educate them.
Idiots!

The Passing Fad of Podcasting….

Uh….not quite there boys and girls.
Give this post from FeedBurner a little read.
The numbers they share are down right mind boggling. I honestly didn’t know everything was growing this fast and I’m curious where in the graph it starts to slow down. A year? 2? Further? I don’t know what the answer is, but I […]

F-U Decathlon

Ok Decathlon Sports, a new page for your customer service 101 manual if you have one. I’m not sure you do since you sucked twice tonight.
Here is the scenarios
A customer buys a bike from you on Sunday. On Monday he rides that bike on a paved bike path and the pedal breaks off and […]

Great Weekend

It was a very productive and satisfying weekend around the Chapman Clan.

The highlight was certainly picking up my new bike. Laura and I have wanted to get bikes for several years now and finally did. Taking it out for a spin in just a little bit after I return the bike rack we bought. It […]
