As we were walking though Digital Experience, we started talking to Mike from PocketGPSWorld. We got to see his camera rig, with wheels. During the conversation, he mentioned that he also has an OWLE. We got to see a closer view from it.

Of course, we watched Leo Laporte, Cat Schwartz and Dr. Kiki look at the OWLE as well.

The CES Show is over and I was beat. Trip home was not that great. Videos are coming up, twice daily. Thanks to the crew and check out the awesome 2 day coverage at the NBC Universal stage. Our good friends let us borrow the stage to create that show. I give you my take on 3-D Technology. It did bring out the PR agencies. AT&T and iPhone was a Major Fail, too.

The Home page will be changing a bit. Also, thanks to Robb for noticing a problem on the page.

During Digital Experience, over by the Giraffe bar, we spotted Leo Laporte looking at an interesting item. Cat Schwartz and Dr. Kristen Sanford were also there as Ed shows off the OWLE – a Camera case for the iPhone. It basically improves the camera, adds a microphone and attachments for lights, a stand and other items.

We look at the OWLE, and the reaction to this interesting camera enclosure. It works for 3G and 3GS models and costs only $130.

Started the day on a down note, the phone had some problems. A call to AT&T fixed the problem, but it made me late getting things going. Add to that a problem with uploading video last night and a show that is still in the prep area. Oh well, life doesn’t stop, so it gets left behind for now.

Get to the hall to the keynote with Richard Jalichandra from Technorati. He tala about the state of the blogosphere. Basically, where we are in blogging and where we are going.

Richard showed us the increasing numbers of bloggers and where they come from. He then says something that got me into new media to begin with.. One thing that still hits hard today.

Be Passionate.

Next up: the panel keynote – the death and rebirth of journalism.Brian Solis, Joanna Drake Earl, Jay Rosen and Hugh Hewitt are on the panel. Special media guest – Don Lemon from CNN.

First point was the talk on the current news – like balloon boy. Don points out that with blogs, you hear about the event, but with a site like CNN, you get a full report.

Another point of new media – the ice age of Bloggers: Hitting the shelf where there will be too many to choose from for a reliable source.

The expo finally open, so myself and andy McCaskey started walking around. Talked to a few booths for more information.

Took in a session – facebook to success. Sexy scotch tape.

Then it was off to the expo floor where I got to meet a lot of great people and the products of new media. Programs like camtasia, myPRgenie, yubby are just a handful.

Angelo mandato did a piece on the blubrry player.

Some of the new media celebs are out. Watched Robert scoble on blog talk radio. Chris pirillo was at the raw voice booth. Adam corolla is on blogworldexporadio, and the keynote was Leo Laporte.

I took a little time to relax and charge the batteries. No, litterally. The iPhone was dying, the laptop battery was down to nothing and the camera was full with content.

I am not sure what happened, but I think I sat down before they had someone at the door. The floodgates opened and the room filled in a heartbeat.

Leo talked about new media and their direction. he discussed how hard it was to get a podcast noticed and advertised. Leo then showed off the new avenue of TWIT. A roku box with push content to the show. An amazing conversation.

The evening was a whirlwind of fun. Dinner with Andy Mccaskey, then off to blubrry for the nightly party. Many different celebrities in the new media area. Matt Sloan and Aaron Yonda from Chad Vader, Grammar Girl, Michael Butler to name a few. Elvis was there, too. He’s smaller than I expected.

The rest of the night was consumed with drinking and networking.

I just don’t get it -

This is the line I heard today from a fellow IT person. He then proceeded to say “The younger people do it more. I guess it’s not a part of my generation”.

Wait a minute. I remember an article that says older people DO like twitter. But they are not staying on twitter. So who is right? Read the rest of this entry »

Remember Dana Carvey on Saturday Night Live in the 80’s? During the “Weekend Update” he dressed up to look like an old man and sit there telling the Kids: “Back in my day…” He would always end the line with being bloody and beat up and “WEEEE LOVED IT!”.

This week I was asked the question: Will the student now using a Mac be able to adapt to a PC environment in the workforce? I said Yes and went on with my college story: I used a MAC until 1995. After that, it was a PC until 2005 when I learned Mac environments for work. But even the Windows or Mac of 1998 is not the same of 2008. It really begs the question: What will the machines of 2018 look like?

We have commemorated “Talk like a Pirate Day” in my other circles for the last few years now. It’s cool to see and hear mainstream picking it up. Ye all need to talk like a pirate e’ry now and then.

When I woke up this morning, I said “Yar! I need to write a Shanty”. So I did. Since my main Guitar is in the shop, I picked up the practice guitar and strummed out the song. A quick recording and mixing and Voila! A new song is born.

Here are the Lyrics if you want to sing along.
