Marketing your Podcast

Oliver Rist talks about making money with your podcast, using it as a marketing tool. Many of the things he talks about could be used in a non-profit environment or even for sermoncasting(tm). I’ve covered the basics of creating the MP3’s in the earlier article in this series. Something I learned from [...]

Don’t question his fanhood.

A Cleveland Indians fan[1] is taking the same approach that a team and/or a potential free agent might take at this point in the season, especially a season that is clearly already over. He’s auctioning off his services to the highest bidder. If the Cleveland Indians can “sell” the services of C.C. Sabathia [...]

Is it just me?

A co-worker sent this link[1] along. Helpful to see if a site is having problems. The page actually “heads” the site to see if it gets a response. If you can get to the internet, but aren’t sure if a site is blocked by your firewall (personal or corporate), give this a [...]

Opening day, home opener, a victory & no snow. The Cleveland Indians haven’t opened many seasons at home over the last 10 years, mostly because the weather is so bad. Last year we got snowed out & ended up playing a home game in Milwaukee. This year there was plenty of runs, [...]

Help! My PC is infected. Now what?

You might try spybot search & destroy[1] or TrendMicro’s HouseCall[3] (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/). I’ve had some success with those programs in cleaning infections. I also use AdAware[2] pretty frequently.
These don’t catch everything. I generally try to run SpyBot & AdAware once a week to keep things running smoothly. I also clean out the [...]

OH… IO… versus the Yankee Nation.

I’ve always been an underdog man, myself. I enjoy seeing athletes overcoming adversity, their own doubts and beating a better team occaisionally. I guess that’s why I became an Indians fan when I moved to the area. Also explains why I’m a Browns fan right now.
But every once in a while, it’s [...]

I subscribe to “Web Marketing Today” and the latest issue as of posting has an article on using email service providers (ESP)[1]. Lydia did a nice job, covering most (if not all) the bases.

Plain English & Elements of Style

I like Phil’s [1] notion about having a License to write. I’m just not sure I’d pass. The new Plain English [2] rules seem pretty simple…
Back in my day, the Elements of Style [3] was referred to as “Strunk & White”. Now it’s been updated. Wonder what’s changed?

Camera Envy

I must confess to a bit of materialism.  I’ve owned a Pentax K1000 for probably 22 years and have really enjoyed it.  I’m not a great photographer, but I have learned a few rudiments & enjoy the taking pictures with the camera.
When I decided to move to digital, I bought an HP Photosmart 620, which [...]
