Power Calendaring with iCal, Google Calendar, and Sync

My calendar grows increasingly crazy as the various ventures I work with continue to gain popularity, from the Student Loan Network and the Financial Aid Podcast to Marketing Over Coffee and PodCamp. Recently, I found myself having to sync two iPods, a phone, Google Calendar, and iCal, and in the process, a whole bunch of [...]

Watch this Justin.tv video from PodCamp NYC

The background: individual sponsor tables were set up by PodCamp NYC organizers so that sponsors could share what they had to offer with the community.
This particular lifecasting crew decided that they’d set up shop on a sponsor’s table (having not sponsored themselves) and when asked to leave so that the sponsor could set up, reacted… [...]

Why Old Media Matters More Than Ever

Why Old Media Matters More Than Ever
There’s a persistent dangerous meme in new media, the idea that old media (television, radio, and newspapers) is irrelevant and dying. It’s not. In fact, if anything, old media is more relevant than ever.

A picture is worth 10,000 words - or a marketing meeting

Buy me a cookie, dude - Marriott Customer Survey

I got this email just today from Marriott about my stay in Washington, DC.

To the Marriott folks:
Look, no offense, but I’m not going to take your survey. You’ve already got my money, and now you want my time in return for nothing at all. Come on, offer me something, even just something token, to acknowledge [...]

PodCamp DC Review

PodCamp DC was a fantastic event held on April 19, 2008 at the Art Institute of Washington. A huge hat tip to AIW for offering the venue and helping out with logistics. Hats off as well to organizers Tammy Munson, Joel Witt, and Ernie Ambrose.
