One of the laws of thermodynamics can be summed up as: Entropy Builds. I realized that today while doing my “short monthly update” that gets forwarded up the org chart. What started as a paragraph now involves about 3 spreadsheets pulling data from 4 sources and takes at least an hour to do. The worst part is that I see no effective way around this and have to give up and call it...

Chris Baggott of Exact Target is off to start something new on the blog front. Should be interesting to watch… Popularity: 1% [?]

Sorry but today I’m catching up, more tonight. Too keep yourself entertained check out the Free Hugs campaign that I saw this weekend (I know, old news but new to me, and perhaps to you). Chris Brogan had a Free Hugs shirt on at Podcamp and Mitch Joel had the clip in his presentation. Check out the story of Juan Mann Popularity: 1%...

A good post from Chris Brogan today – I was not aware that photos in Flickr are not shared by default. I’m sure it was made clear to me on one of those screens where I signed up for my account that I read none of… Popularity: 1% [?]

There’s nothing worse than when you reach into the bag and the stuff that you are digging for is not there. So far I have my wireless transmitter but no receiver (totally worthless). Better yet, my camera charger and the camera is back at the hotel with the laptop charger (just because I scored a seat with an outlet, you know). The wireless here at Podcamp Toronto is excellent and...

Podcamp Toronto is right around the corner and I’m very excited to check out another un-conference. The schedule can be a bit frustrating since it’s always in flux (it stinks when somebody you want to see schedules themselves at the same time as one of your own slots CHRIS BROGAN). I have to say though that I think I’m starting to lose patience with normal conferences. I...

This has been sobering this week. The latest video is done and you can check it out here – Making Playlists and Smart Playlists for Podcasts. My problem is that the YouTube video is too fuzzy so I decided to try Revver, which looks great. The problem there is that the Revver standard size is too big for this current blog layout. I’m now realizing that basic HTML is dead, if you...

Either a windows update or something in Windows Media Player killed my webinar yesterday. The attendees were able to view my desktop but not the media file as it was playing. GoTo Meeting had the fix – there’s a random setting buried in Windows Media Player where you can set the degree of hardware acceleration. Turn it all the way down and my player crashes, turn it up and...

March is a busy month for me with back to back trade shows, which I refer to as “The Trade Show Wars”. Trade shows really are blood and guts marketing – do the logistics, execute, get the names, and deliver sales “The Glengarry Leads”. I was horrified to realize today that I’ve been doing shows for over 10 years now. It’s all about the preparation, I...
