When creating a daily podcast, do you really shoot for 7 days a week or 5? I haven't decided yet. But, I do like talking about all sorts of technology: current news, the elements of technology, answering people's questions, and reviewing blogging and podcasting.
Check out the Minute Tech podcast.

sometimes you have to pay attention, others you have to leave it alone to thrive by itself.

Phyllostachys 39 - Rachel Sager @ the 24 Hour Creative Marathon
24 Hour Creative Marathon: some come to create, some come to sustain themselves on caffeine for 24 hours, some come as organizers and others come to creatively document what the others are doing. Rachel Sager had attended the first 24 hour Creative Marathon earlier in 2007, and came to the second to push along the creative impulse - a constant challenge for all of us.

Phyllostachys 38 - 24hcm2 Interview with Kelly Andreson
Logos.blip.tv's first brush with Kelly was as the instigator of artistic creation by Mike and John...but Kelly's intensely focused painting of surrealistic & slightly macabre scenes captures the videographers camera...and imagination.

Phyllostachys 37 - Mike Woycheck & John Carman at the Creative Marathon
Mike and John came to the Creative Marathon to provide support and assistance...never suspecting that they'd be "encouraged" to by creative. Well, encouraged they were, and create they did. Although they expect that art dealers from Coruscant will swoop down and pay thousands of Republic credits for their respective works of art...they also were just having fun putting hands into messy, messy paint! :-)
Phyllostachys 36 - Creative Marathon Interview with Michael Fulk
Michael Fulk is working on ideas for the Creative Marathon - some of us enter the room full of inspiration, and some, like both Michael and me, must work at drawing inspiration out of the energy flowing through the room. Michael is a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh; he currently macro-blogs from blog.mfulk.com and micro-blogs as minkar.
Phyllostachys 35 - Creative Marathon Interview with Josh Sager
Sitting at the 2nd 24 Hour Creative Marathon's registration desk, coaxing the likeness of a robot out of a gessoed canvas with his paints, Josh Sager is able to greet guests, drink Burn soda, talk with artists and converse with his muses all at the same time. With multitasking like that, you'd think even an artist would wilt by the wee hours of the morning...but Josh was still going strong:

phyllostachys 34 - Creative Marathon
The 2nd 24 Hour Creative Marathon is upon us, and the artists are in full swing. They've come, they've seen, and they either painted, drew, blogged, twittered, video'd or...slept in preparation for the upcoming daylight, during which they'll each perform according to their artiste muses.
After a long work day yesterday, I picked up my wife near her place of work, at midnight, Friday, Sept 28th, and we drove on over to Bellevue, PA's Creative Treehouse. My goal for the evening was to talk with the artists and entice a few to allow me to interview them on-camera. This morning's first video is an overview of the scenes from last night and of the various people with whom I spoke. There, amidst the cacophony of music playing & people talking in a large, open room...several people slept in preparation for the final leg of the Creative Marathon.

phyllostachys twenty two: Tommy Vallier
Tommy describes himself thusly on Twitter: "Bio: Web developer, podcaster in training, general web geek. I live online when I can... I mean really, why not?".
Now, take a green frog, tie-dye rainbows, dv-camera-toting podcasters, free coffee and breakfast treats, sessions teaching all from branding to recording, and copious after-dinner drinks, and you have a great recipe for a podcasting conference with a little bit of Tommy Vallier mixed in.
The interview with Tommy represents the fourth in a series of eleven Podcamp Pittsburgh 2 interviews to be posted to Alex Landefeld's logos [dot] Blip [dot] tv videoblog site. Check out the previous three, presenting from first to third: Mark Rauterkus, Steve Brady and Richard Horn.
Noticing a severe misrepresentation in his interviewing for such a broad-based event as Podcamp Pittsburgh 2, Alex resolved to interview more women on his second day of shooting...and that's what he did, as we shall see from the next round of interviews to be posted.
