Apt Podcast
It was posted a while ago, and was well recommended, but on last Friday’s flight home from San Jose, I finally got a chance, and to be humbled, by Gardner Campbell’s Kemp Symposium keynote “Apt Numbers, or, Sense Variously Drawn Out””. Magically weaving together his genuinely expressed love of music and Milton, and his concept […]

User Generated Video Subititles… in Different Languages!
Check out dotSUB “Any film in any language”. Now I am inferring the site from a short visit, and there is no “about” page; even the “help” page yields only: We’re Working on Help In the meantime, please send us an email at help@dostub.com. But hey, it’s all good, it’s all beta. What I could […]

New business cards are ordered… I have a new title on my role at NMC as “Vice President, Community & CTO” reflecting a constructive look at work I’ve been doing in the last 13 months and where NMC is going in the future. For now, I’m doing the same stuff and cashing the same check, […]

Done with PodPress Plugin. Bye.
I’ve tried for months to get the WordPress PodPress plugin to behave- on multiple sites it just plum refuses to embed the player in the page. Every option is set to display the player, I can see it in the source, and it fails. And it seems like it gets upgraded once a week, each […]
