Liveblogging PodCamp Nashville

Saturday, March 6th, 2010
I’m spending the day at PodCamp Nashville, where 500 or so members of the social media marketing community are gathered to hear members of the community speak on things they are passionate about, as well as plenty of fun networking. Sessions are running all day long on anything from SEO for Wordpress to covering tax issues for small business. This community always has a wealth of information, and is always willing to share that with others, which is awesome to be a part of. I’ll be liveblogging throughout the day to share sessions and all of the great information that ...

PodCamp Nashville 2009

Monday, March 16th, 2009
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending PodCamp Nashville 2009, a great “un”conference put on by members of the tech community here in town. The previous three Camps I had a heavy hand in organizing and implementing, so it was nice to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the day’s worth of panels and networking. There were a wide variety of panels to choose from, everything from social media to Wordpress to Drupal programming. What I love most about Camps, besides getting some of my favorite people in Nashville all together in one room, is that the community comes ...

You Too Can YouTube!

Monday, February 16th, 2009
This past Saturday, Stasia asked Kate and myself to speak with her at TWISTER, or Tennessee Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Research. We spoke to a room of about 50 9-12th grade girls who were interested in doing something in a career in technology, most likely because our panel was titled “You Too Can YouTube”. What high school kid wouldn’t want to come to that? The three of us explained to the girls how we came to work in technology, and many of them were blown away by the fact that we got to do so many “cool” things ...

Apple Will Crush Amazon.com’s Kindle and Complete Their Electronic Ecosystem With New Device In 2009 2010

Sunday, January 4th, 2009
If you’ve been following Apple’s patents over the past few years, you would have noticed a trend in tablet-like devices and innovative ways to interact with electronic devices (like gestures on MacBooks and iPhone’s user interface.) I believe 2009 will be the year they finally release what they’ve been building up to. It’s not based (solely) on wishful thinking. Instead, it’s based on logical next steps and the success (and failures) of their competitors. There are specific features that I believe this device will have, and they’ll be targeted not just at Microsoft and PC makers, but also at Amazon.com. In ...

Concept for Competitor Review Website

Friday, October 24th, 2008
This year at BarCamp Nashville, I presented on how to make Google your prison slave. One of the concepts I talked about was the idea of capturing a competitor’s traffic through the use of product review websites. There are three key elements to this approach: Keyword centric domain name Reviews include good details and images of the competitor’s products Every review includes a "Recommendations" section at the end, comparing and linking to your product page The best way to create a site like this is to make sure it looks professional. You may want to consider building it on WordPress and then using a ...

BarCamp Talk on Web Service APIs

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
Last week, I gave a talk at BarCamp Nashville on Leveraging Web Service APIs.  Many thanks to the conference organizers who were able to move me to a session later in the day at the last minute because of a funeral that morning.  For anyone who couldn’t make it to the talk, I created a PDF of my presentation.  Sorry to anyone who couldn’t find the ThisCamp room.  We were tucked away behind the bar.

Inside the Belmont Debate

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008
My alma mater is a pretty popular place these days. The second 2008 Presidential debate is being held next week at Belmont University, which is just blocks from our offices at Sitening. There was word on the street that an amazing feat of temporary technology infrastructure was being built just around the corner, so I had to take a peek.  Jason and I got a fantastic tour of everything being brought in and built for the event. Let’s just say the Belmont debate is as good as telecommunications gets. Fiber everywhere. Over 500 dedicated land lines. Generators to run the ...
