2007 New Media Party

I can’t thank Christopher Penn enough for having inviting me and others over to his house last night for a little intimate New Media Party.

It was a nice night of drinks, munchies, chat and some powerful goal setting. There are even “show notes” from the night. I just uploaded my pictures here including the one […]

Why Isn’t the Gaming Industry Looking to New Media for Inspiration

On the latest episode of Scott Sigler’s podcast only novel “The Rookie” he mentioned fan interest in a video game version of the book. For those of you not listening to it (shame on you) imagine the football movie Any Given Sunday set in outer space. So you have all the action of hard […]

Further Proof You Should Read What Eric Rice Says

I consider Eric a friend and someone who’s opinion I greatly trust. The fact that our paths cross as often as they do is a good thing in my world.
His latest post “Cow dung, and the Concentric Circle Theory” is nothing short of required reason for anyone who sails the waters of the blogosphere, plays […]

Congrats to Amanda Congdon and blip.tv

I just read the news that Amanda Congdon has just inked a deal with Dove to be a sponsor of her new show on blip.TV.
This is great for multiple reasons. Main one being that this is a huge major brand that FITS the sponsored show perfectly. Look at Amanda. She’s not what I call “barbie […]

Thinking Outside of the Prim

Even as we gear up for the launch I just had my mind blown by something new in Second Life.
Check it out here.
Koz Farina of blogHUD! fame sent me to this page. It’s live streaming video from Second Life. He’s doing it on his home computer and this is early alpha phase so it might […]

I Always Did Like to Color

Earlier this summer I heard the words “I’m starting a new company called crayon” for the first time and my world changed.
It’s a pretty cool story about that night and one I have already covered over on Managing the Gray. You can read it here or listen to it here.

I firmly believe that crayon is […]

The Sun Sets on Another PME

The Podcast & Portable Media Expo 2006 has come to a close.
As I write this I’m sitting in my hotel room surrounded by random schwag, an award, coffee, piles of business cards, a box of tea and plenty of technology.
I took this picture last night as Canis Lupis, Julien Smith and myself went to get […]

Second Life Podcast Interview

I had breakfast with Jeremy yesterday and he told me that this would be going up as soon as he found a solid connection. I guess he did.
Check out the interview here.

CNET Enters Into Second Life

Tonight I jumped into SL and the next thing I know I’m getting a TP from my buddy Reuben over at Millions of Us so of course I accepted it.
Next thing I know I’m chilling in a sleepy chair with a glass of champagne in my hand and celebrating the launch of the build […]

Test yomoblog Post

Dave Winer wins again by allowing me to blog straight from my Blackberry to here.
http://yomoblog.com to enjoy the goodness.
The simplicity of setup and use is amazing. I’ve just got to get better with my thumbs!

A Bit of Geek

Hard to fight it when my new Blackberry and my copy if iWoz arrive within minutes of each other.
If that isn’t enough the delivery interupts you having a Skype call while in Second Life having a discussion there with the same person and a completely seperate person.
Yes folks, you can multitask across multiple computers and […]

SCRIGGITY

Originally uploaded by Steve Garfield.
I met the team behind Scriggity this weekend at PodCamp. Besides being cute and cool, they are also very talented and “get” what we are all trying to do.
I just watched Scriggity #7 and besides making a cameo in it, the thing was damn fun. Plus, check out the pin on […]

PodCamp Presentation

I know some people asked about it and of course I was going to post it.
The presentation Mitch Joel and I gave at PodCamp Boston is now online as a post at Managing the Gray.
This picture is one I took as we were getting ready to begin the speech. It’s one side of the classroom. […]

PodCamp Photos & Reflections

My whole allbum can be viewed here. 126 total photos starting at 8:15 yesterday morning until about 1 am this morning. Fun times all around.
I met so many great new people yesterday. It would take too long and I’d spell them all arong, but you know who you are.
I also got to finally meet people […]

PodCamp Here We Come

All sponsors of PodCamp Boston got to make an 8.5″ x 11″ version of their logo to hang on the “sponsor wall.” I don’t have a single logo for the C.C. Chapman Media Empire *laugh* so I made this. I’m pretty damn happy with how it turned out. Nice and simple!

Tonight the fun begins and […]
