Helping Out With Northern Voice

Travis invited me yesterday to come out and volunteer for Northern Voice this year.  I attended their latest meeting and was thrilled to see so many familiar faces and I met a few people in the Northern Voice community that I haven't had a chance to get to know all that well.  I think they are called "faces in a crowd".  You see them from time to time but never really know who they are, what they do, or why they attend the same events you do.  I hope in the coming months, I can get to know them better because I think I need to branch out and meet and greet a few more people.  I think I am becoming a little too "homebodyish".

This is my official notice to bloggers out there: Northern Voice is coming.  If you want to attend an all ages, everyone welcome, nothing is too advanced here, kind of conference, Northern Voice 2009 is your chance.  This event fills up quickly and is celebrating its fifth year - so, you know it is going to be ultra cool.

If you have any suggestions, questions, requests - let me know and I will bring them to the planning group and let them know.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
