Today, Jen slow-cooked some pork loin and when it was fall-apart with a fork tender, we drained it, smothered it in BBQ sauce, and ignored it some more. After ignoring it good and long, we forked it onto some sesame-topped buns, threw on a scoop of ‘slaw and called it dinner. Yeah. Tasty goodness. Worth …

The Long Tail of Media Attention
Tonight at 10pm, rumor has it the podcasting segment recorded by Minneapolis NBC affiliate KARE 11 with me and many others within PodcastMN will air. As much as I’m always happy for an opportunity to spread the word on podcasting and PodcastMN. I get much more excited about being picked up by other bloggers and …
Lawyers That Get Niche Publishing and Podcasting
Some of you may remember the 6-part series I did with Parsinen Kaplan Rosberg & Gotlieb P.A. over at the First Crack Podcast. For your convenience, I’ve consolidated all the PKR&G podcast conversations including 2 bonus conversations that didn’t make the original series.

eMac Fax Modem Killed My Phone Line
I had to send a couple faxes yesterday. Something I do so infrequently that I just use the OS X’s built-in faxing on these rare occasions. The modem on my Powerbook hasn’t been working right for a while now – neither has the disc drive. I’m getting a real good idea of how much I …

On Measuring What Matters
I’ve been itching to see Dave Slusher’s reaction to the Audible Wordcast announcement and he didn’t disappoint. “What matters to me are the number of sensible comments, the other shows that quote me, the number of people that came up to me and talked to me at PME and told me they enjoyed the show. …
Tuesday’s Triple Play – Road Trip Songs
I’ve always found road trip songs energizing and refreshing – even if I’m just at my desk working. This week’s Tuesday Triple Play is a trio of classics: Song for a Girl that Has One [real] from Too Much Joy’s Son of Sam I Am MO 63 – from All’s Percolater Movin’ Right Along – …
Apophenia – Seeing Patterns that Don’t Exist
I first heard the word ‘apophenia’ in Moira Gunn’s interview with William Gibson almost a year ago. Since then, it’s meaning has come to mind more than a couple times – though I had forgotten the word itself. In each instance, I’ve Googled for what bits of the word I could remember – yet came …

How to Build a Business from Podcasting
“I spent the better part of last year trying to envision a business built on podcasting, and didn’t come up with anything that I believed in.” – Dave Winer Like Dave and so many others, I’ve done the same thing and ended up with the same conclusion. Recently on the PodcastMN mailing list the conversation …
