David Maister - podcast

David Maister has new series of podcasts effectively introducing the audio version of his new book: Strategy and the Fat Smoker.

Well worth the 19 minutes for the first of this series!

Teaching for the Future - Dave LaMorte

Dave and I met during last years PodCamp Boston and worked together on the welcome/registration desk this time. We have a good deal in common.

• He is student teaching (I fondly recall those days).
• He is from NJ and will be going back to NJ sometime in the near future (we used to live in NJ).
• He is an artist (I appreciate and enjoy all kinds of art).
• We are both podcasters.

Something Used - Hugh McIntyre

I met Hugh at the welcome desk when he came by to volunteer for next year's event. As I cruise amongst the links on his MySpace pages, there is a good stuff going on there.

Hello there everyone! My name is Hugh McIntyre and I run Something Used. Something Used is a booking agency and soon to be a clothing line! I do much more than that, however. Every event I do has a purpose. There is always a cause that I try to educate people about, aide, or support in some way. I believe that educating people leads to action, which leads to a better world for everyone. While my end goal is to save the world, I know I am going to need a lot of help in doing it, so I appreciate all I can get :-)

Click through to his page and find more about Hugh and maybe you can help him.

"It's a Purl, Man" - Guido Stein

I wrote after last year's PodCamp Boston:

One of those PodCampers who came in as a relative unknown and made his mark big time. Guido knits and is proud of it. Read his site name slowly and you'll catch a wicked pun.

I got to spend more time with Guido this year as he helped out at the registration desk. I observed his teaching how to use the drop spindle (and did catch some video of that which I hope to share; assuming it came out successfully).

If you are interested in knitting, this is one podcast to subscribe to.

Even if you are not, Guido may very well get you interested!

Utterz - Simeon Margolis

One of the slick applications I found at PodCamp Boston was Utterz.

Chris Brogan included Simeon and myself in an Utterz that he posted while at PodCamp.
Note: The problem with Permalink and commenting is still there but Simeon is working on it.

Check out Utterz!

Norah Dooley

Norah was one of the unsung heroes of the recent PodCamp Boston. She went to attend a session on story telling and the presenter failed to show up. Since she was a story teller herself, she stepped up and lead the group in an impromptu session that according to what I heard in the hall was one of the better sessions there.

Nice work, Norah!

She stopped by the registration desk with a question and shared her own point of view on the experience, confirming that the story someone else did tell at the end of the session was a powerful one.

Check out her website to see her work!

Being one of the little people - Sara Streeter

I met Sara at the registration desk when she came by with some questions. She is putting together a NewBCamp for Providence in February 2008. She is on Twitter, on MeetUp, and her blog: Being One of the Little People. I get the distinct impression that she won't be one of the "little people" for long!

She did not have a business card but took time to carefully write out a handcrafted set of contact info on a folder yellow stickie note. Way to go, Sara!

Rural Free Media - Sharon Mahoney

I anticipate being on the PodCamp Boston trail for a bit, there were so many connections made during the event, I will try to cover them in a reasonable amount of time.

Sharon Mahoney, will be podcasting at Rural Free Media soon. We met at the Friday night party and had a good discussion. When we caught up during the day Saturday and Sunday, she was doing well and enjoying the conference.

You can bookmark her site and stay tuned for when she starts up.

Loud Mouth Man - Nick Butler

Yes, with a handle like loudmouthman, and the completely comfortable presence to wear a kilt, Nick is one cool dude. My tri-corner cap paled in comparison.

I had a good time talking with him at PodCamp Boston. I like his business card text: "social networker and opinioneer". His card is distinct; one of the small form factor type. I almost lost it amongst my pile.

Fear not, Nick. I did find it and hence this posting!

PodCamp Boston 2 - October 26-28, 2007

PodCamp Boston 2 is rapidly approaching. We are into August and October 26-28 feels like it is just around the corner.

It was a great event last year and I expect this year to be even more so.

There are already 290 registered for this event.

Are you in New England? You should consider participating!

Even if you are outside the Boston metro area, this should be a good excuse to get here and participate!
