Please Don’t Adjust your Sets

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’m having some trouble with an overzealous indexing bot repeatedly scraping the media files on my site thousands of times.  I’ve temporarily restricted access to all the podcast files of For the Sake of the Songwhile I straighten this out.  I should have things back up tomorrow or Saturday.  Thanks for your patience.
UPDATE: May 2.  [...]

Hiatus is over. It’s time to communitize.

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

After posting about 50 daily posts for my 40 Days of Catholic Media project, I thought I would take a couple days off before I got back to posting here.  Well, it’s been 3 weeks and here I am.  I originally started this blog as a way to explore the intersection between social media communities [...]

Yes folks, this is another of my posts riddled with p’s, and I’m not even mentioning Popple this time (oops– too late).
What I do have is pictures and a podcast from Easter Sunday when my daughter and I joined the Portageurs who are making a pilgrimage with the Ark of the New Covenant from [...]

I was on TV (for 5 seconds)

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I have always been reticent about making a public witness to my faith, preferring to let my actions and my character be a witness to my faith. (I still think this is the best witness).
Over the past couple years, by participating in the online community around Rosary Army and Catholic podcasting, and with [...]

Today is K7Day. Call your favorite podcaster’s feedback line.

Monday, March 17th, 2008

I’m cross posting this with my other blog, For the Sake of the Song, so I apologize if you have read this twice.
I had a bit of a brainwave. Alot of podcasters use the free K7 voicemail service to receive voice comments. A drawback of the service is that like many free internet services, [...]

I surrender. 40 Days of Catholic Media is a podcast. When I started this project I deliberately didn’t call it a podcast. It was just a post a day that could contain text, pictures, audio or video– in short, a multimedia project. However people keep asking how they can subscribe to [...]

Last night, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kyle Heimann of Popple for my songwriting podcast, For the Sake of the Song.

Report from the Fishbowl

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

I greatly enjoy swimming around in the New Media Fishbowl and have begun to make acquaintance of some wonderful people  all over the world who have podcasts of their own.  Recently I have been mentioned or been a guest on a slew of Catholic podcasts, so I thought I would share the link love.
A couple [...]

I’m an Internet Visionary

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

I am an Internet Visionary. Three weeks ago I posted LOLephants, with lolcat captions on pictures of me. It included this picture of me running? from a T-Rex.

This weekend at Podcamp Boston, a bunch of people had a crazy idea about LOLCats with dinosaurs. Before the end of the conference, Nico Pin had [...]

LOLephants
