Of business plans and why we do what we do

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

My awareness has been raised as of late. I usually keep a variety of feelers in a wide array of industries, movements and memes. Part of being a jack of all trades, I suppose. In recent weeks, I’ve begun to take notice of a few shifts (both subtle and not-so) causing ripples across about everything […]

Ida

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

I received some feedback today in an unusual manner. Months ago, I was interviewed by Rob of Podcast411 and talked quite a bit Podiobooks.com.

Expanding the offerings on Podiobooks.com

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

Open call for comments: leave ‘em right here or email me (or others) offline.
We think the software (EachCaster™) that runs Podiobooks.com is pretty slick. According to the growing active subscriber rate, lots of you do too. But it’s not just limited to .mp3 files of audiobooks. There’s a whole world of content out there. Would […]
