Of all the podcasts I listen to, I enjoy This American Life the most. I enjoy it because Ira Glass, the show's producer, has a keen sense of story. Not story in the sense of fables or fiction (which you can listen to at Storynory or The New Yorker Fiction podcast). Nor single personal narratives that you find with podcasts like The Moth Podcast (which I also enjoy). But stories that often focus on an intriguing question as the starting po...

Here's a common scenario for creating a corporate screencast. In an effort to create a screencast, the project manager writes a script, carefully storyboarding it in PowerPoint.

Finished with the script, the project manager hands the copy off to an audiovisual specialist, who creates the vide...

I attended Podcamp Salt Lake City (Podcampslc.org) on Friday for the third year in a row. The attendees have fluctuated. The first year, about 30 attended. The next year, about 90 attended. This year, the attendees decreased to around 45. Sometimes events just suffer from poor timing. We are all so busy. But I noticed another trend: more and more sessions focused on social media, almost as much as podcasting. Here are a few of the session...

I have a lot of events coming up, so I've been trying to coordinate and manage my schedule in a more efficient way. I use Google Calendar, with various calendars that I toggle on or off based on what I want to see. Lately I decided to integrate some of the event information from my Google calendar into my WordPress blog. I have two new buttons on the top: My Calendar and Presentations. Using the ICS Calendar plugin for WordPress, I integ...
