BlogIndiana is a Lot Like Herding Cats

When I was visualizing the crowd that might attend the first annual BlogIndiana Conference this weekend in downtown Indianapolis, I had to admit, the picture wasn’t pretty. I had images of GenCon rejects without the costumes wandering around with laptops and Star Wars backpacks.
I have to admit, the conference was a pleasant surprise and well done for [...]

GeistTV.com launches, first video show

We finally got our first Internet-delivered television show up on GeistTV.com last week. Using a new Canon HDV video camera, Adobe Premiere Elements, and Jumpcut to host and produce the final show, I finally got the prototype show online last week.

The learning curve has been in figuring out whether to edit raw clips via Jumpcut [...]

Wordpress 2.5 Not Impressed

Besides the dashboard design, what is the big deal about Wordpress 2.5? The photo uploading has a bug which is a big problem, I’m working on this little problem now. I’ll be anxious to see the same design changes along with the ability to add users to blogs easier in MU.Wordpress.org.

Catch me at the Blog Indiana Conference August 16-17

Some Indiana-based bloggers are organizing the first-ever Blog Indiana Conference on August 16th & 17th at IUPUI in downtown Indianapolis. I’m going to speak on a subject or two, not sure what exactly yet, but I’m game. Blogging has matured quite a bit in the last 10 years, from “online diaries” to “business applications.” We [...]

The new news

Interesting article from Jason Goldberg at SocialMedian.com today regarding the “new news.”
What is known is that the business of delivering the news has to change.  It’s no longer economical to produce print in the age of digital.  How can a printing company saddled with manufacturing and real-world product delivery compete with the economies of virtualization? 
I somewhat [...]

Online Apps on Steriods, zoho.com

I’ve been waiting to write up a review on www.zoho.com until the short-term honeymoon was over. After all, a free online solution to every business’s CRM, database, project management, wiki creator, web conferencing and presentation, calendar, polling, and every other imaginable need in one place seems too good to be true.
But, it’s true!
I originally came [...]

Google Posts Video Tour of Google Analytics on YouTube.com

The best web stats software on the market today is Google Analytics. Why? Because it’s good, doesn’t reside on your server, doesn’t require a licensing agreement, and it’s free!
That’s right, free.
And to help you get started with Google Analytics, they have posted several instructional videos on YouTube.com to help you understand conversions, the role of [...]

Publish Your Blog?

Honestly, you can publish your blog as a book. Really.
This might seem a little nutty, but you can actually import your Live Journal, TypePad.com, or Wordpress blog into the Blurb.com BookSmart software and create one or many copies of your blog in the form of a book.
Why would anyone want to do that? Isn’t that [...]

In my previous life (dot com days), I used to fly all over the world and talk on the topic of convergence. My thesis was simple: eventually all data, video, phone calls, audio, video would be delivered via an Internet protocol (IP) based platform. I always talked about this convergence from the device-side of things; [...]
