Absolutely. If I get the chance to speak at NSCC again, you can bet I'll take them up on it. Teaching is one of my favorite activities.

It'll be interesting to see where Yahoo! goes. They are making big
moves in mobile, which is wise.

They are owned by Yahoo! after all. Even though their CEO is kickin' butt, I still don't see them being as big of a player going forward.

Glad I could be of service!

Hmm... Perhaps my error. The content was cut off when it was imported into tumblr. I think the link on the title was working, but I went ahead and added more information like the links to your site.

Odd... when I was here earlier, either the links weren't displaying properly - or they didn't exist. I guess we chalk that one up as a CMS glitch?

It was just a link to the page pulled from my bookmarks (http://delicious.com/natedogbaker), but I went ahead and added the player. Go call! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see where it goes!

Was it supposed to embed a player here?

I voted early.... Wonder if I can still get in on the free java?

Thanks for the comments... I certainly hope that it works out.

I really enjoyed what I saw of your WP presentation. You are the king of WP, and does people good to listen. While at Barcamp, I know that at least 5 people told me that you changed how they look at WP. Great job!

Excellent mixtape, Dave.

I'll have to give it a go.

Even better: Sockso, the open source media server - with a web interface. That way, your media doesn't even touch somebody else's network.

Darn it. I have a dulcimer, but that's as close as I can get. Is there any other way I can be of assistance?

Congratulations, sir. Sounds like it was a rocky journey. Our prayers are with you three.

Looks like you've got a crowd of people behind you, offering prayers and well wishes. @DeathByChocolat and I are certainly in that category as well. Blessings on you two (and soon to be) three!

Re: Tech Blogging - Too Crowded? Too Hateful? No, Just Changing.

Nicholas Young — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 20:37:27 -0000

Jason Calacanis exhibited some of the same sentiments in his latest post over at http://calacanis.com . He's made the move to leave blogging behind (at least for a while, I know we'll still be seeing articles from him on occasion) because of the extremely biased environment. In a move that surprised everyone, he's now sending out periodic e-mails to a list of almost 750 subscribers, and trying to do exactly what you're doing: have a more intimate conversation with his readers.

I admit to blogging in non-personal mode. Most of what I post is to either educate or inform - from a business perspective. I agree, what used to be the biggest draw to new bloggers - the ability to post unique, honest content and have it digested by the masses - is gone. Here's to the ones who work tirelessly to bring it back.

Re: Where/How Do You Flow Creatively?

Nicholas — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:56:20 -0000

You're right - it is hard. I've found that cranking up some smooth jazz empowers me with superhuman creativity, and I'm able to leap over coding challenges with a single bound.

Of course, the various coffeehouses, with the artsy decor also lend a hand to creating the Zen atmosphere that you're after... Unless you're at a Panera during the lunch rush, or the jazz is obnoxiously loud. Just about anything that kills stress typically helps.

Now, that being said, I have days where I need the driving, in-your-face progressive rock momentum. I bet you understand those too.

Re: Why the Google / Viacom lawsuit may be GOOD for online media

Nicholas Young — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 11:44:25 -0000

Let's face it. When the public wants media, they go to familiar places. Whether that's YouTube, Bit Torrent, LimeWire, or another network. As companies, why would we waste our time trying to change users' browsing preferences? I admit, there is value when the official site gets hits, but if the core idea is to get the media out for exposure - we're wasting time and effort.

Any smart business knows that when the public creates a buzz like this, it dramatically cuts their need for marketing dollars. Instead of fighting it, let's use it to our advantage.

Dave,

Glad to see the mission was accomplished... and I'd love to be part of the beta.
