Thanks to Andrey Tochilin @tochilin for posting this 7 minute clip of me from a panel discussion at Podcamp Toronto 2011 last Saturday. The segment was part of a session called "Why Do We Podcast? It Ain't For The Money!" as conceived by Canadian Podcast guru Scarborough Dude. What followed from me was a quick evolution of why and how I started podcasting, and where I've arrived at now.
Scarborough Dude hosts the DicksnJanes podcast. Also on the panel were Ninja DeHotfrm of Hot Fossils and Rebel Matters and Keith McNally of XO, Ham Radio & Vinyl Countdown. As with most panels I've been on, I often learn more by being able to watch crowd response to my fellow panelists' contributions than worry about my own. If Andrey recorded them as well, I'd advise you to search them out.
A casual half-drunk diatribe about one of the good things in life: Podcamp Toronto. So many old friends, new friends and great conversations. I was digging the vibe and the touching the void.
I wasn't planning on going there... but aw hell, I sure ended up in a new personal ring.

This really cool and stylistic short animation is perhaps the best two-minute smile you're going to get today. I love the simplicity of the concept and the innovative determination to convey a very basic belief into narrative.

A surreal reflection on every story you've ever heard about a car running into a deer in the middle of the night. Violent, graphic, and a whole heaping load impactful. Give 4.5 minutes to this experience and see if you cringe, cheer or get left awestruck.
Finding some cool public domain video at archive.org to put as a backdrop to Radiohead's brand new track "Little by Little" from their CD The King of Limbs was a fun exercise in disparity of time period and serendipitous web exploration.
The build up to, and execution of, my first official "keynote". Don't know about everyone else, but I had fun.
