Rich Giles and I will be speaking at the Strategic Corporate Communications event in Melbourne on Sept 14. My session is aptly entitled ‘Coping with new media aggression’. So I guess that means "Coping With… Cameron".
Mark Jones has some good additional notes from the PANPA conference we were at earlier this week, including this one [...]

Rich Giles is coming to Melbourne in September and he and I will actually meet for the first time! Weird. We’ve been doing podcasts together for 18 months but we haven’t met F2F yet.
So anyway, we’re going to have a small get together and it’d be great to meet some of y’all. Details here. [...]

When I was up at the PANPA (PAcific Area Newspaper Publisher’s Association) Conference at the Gold Coast on Monday I had a coffee with Mark Jones, IT Editor of The Australian Financial Review and Hugh Martin, Editor of News.com.au.

The most surprising thing about the day was that most of the sessions I sat in had the same message from a variety of speakers: the media business [...]

Listening to "Bad For Good" by Jim Steinman on the iPod and started thinking about what a truly terrific and classic album this was, despite the fact that Jim’s voice isn’t anywhere near good enough for [...]

Web -1.0 is the successor to Web 2.0 unless we’re vigilant and refuse to allow our permission-free Web to be turned into pay-for-play, always-ID’ed, ask-before-you-post, 100%-terrorist-free, professionals-only tubes.

Today’s show is all about CANNABILISM.
Sorry about the terrible audio and video quality. Lots of technical glitches. I’m still experimenting. I’ll work it out. Anyone know a good Windows tool for batch converting an .avi into .flv and H264?
There’s won’t be a DV edition on 28 August as I’ll be interstate at the PANPA conference. [...]
