Another Farm Podcaster Recorder
I haven’t really heard much from Tascam lately until today. Those of us who grew up in broadcasting know them well though. Now they’ve got a new tool to make the farm podcaster drool. It’s the DR-1. I found out about it in a comment on Mindy McAdams blog, “Teaching Online Journalism.” Cindy, if you read this: “No, I am …

I Don’t Want To Be Green
I really hate to bring up the color green here even though it used to be my favorite color. But after reading on Meatingplace.com about a Greenpeace study that says that people should all become vegetarians in order to reduce global warming I can’t keep quiet. C’mon.

A Field Assignment From Charleston Orwig

Lyle Orwig Congrats NAMA
To see what Lyle Orwig looks like today you can visit CongratsNAMA.com. I just happened to stumble across it this morning. NAMA turned 50 in ’07 and Charleston|Orwig created a special site to commemorate it. I especially like the comparisons of 1957 to 2007 like the fact that Lyle had to watch the first episode of “Leave It To Beaver” …
Why Not YouTube Your Announcement
I’m not going to get all political on you here, just using this YouTube video as an example of how to use new media. Our Missouri Governor Matt Blunt made a very major announcement yesterday afternoon that he would not be running for re-election to a second term. No other hints or allegations and it has surprised a lot of …
