Call Me

As a 22 year veteran of the intersection of media and technology (going back to the interactive video disc days) I have many views on the subject. Having been doing this for as long as I have, I have a different perspective on it than many bloggers. This is where I opine.

Online News Association


I'm on a panel on Saturday at the ONA conference in Washington D.C. On the Mobile Platforms panel we'll be talking about using mobile to create and distribute news content.

I'll be taking the minimalist and (probably) contrarian view that simple is better for mass adoption.

Online News Association Conference


I'm on a panel at the Online News Association Conference up in Toronto this week. I went to their politics conference in Madison, Wisconsin last spring, I made a lot of interesting contacts and had a great time. I'm really looking forward to Toronto; meeting people and talking about new ways for people to communicate. Apparently the conference is sold out, but if you are going, please come to my Future of Publishing panel

Another Crazy Week

Today (Monday) is pretty quiet. A few meetings and getting our new (sublet) office space in Portland set up.

Tuesday: A few meetings during the day, then a seminar with the Maine Software Developers Association (MESDA) Telecommunications SIG.

Wednesday: Speaking at a lunch in Portland, hop on a plane to Chicago, rent a car and drive to Madison Wisconsin.

Thursday: ONA Regional Conference. Drive back to ORD at the end of the day.

Friday Morning (0400), drop off car and catch 0600 flight to JFK.
Personal Democracy Forum Conference in NY

Saturday: PDF unconference.

Sunday: Fly home

All this time I've also got to be preparing for the following week when we've got some meetings and presentations setting up operational stuff. I'm really glad I got to take the girls to the Seadogs game yesterday (despite the pain of watching them blow a 6-1 lead to lose 12-6).

Update:
At 2 PM yesterday I got an email from a VC we're working with. I thought I had a meeting with the VC and a potential partner at 4PM in Portland, I was wrong, the meeting was at 4PM in Waltham. I drove like mad and just made it. Add an extra 4 hours in the car to the madness.
