WordPress and Multimedia (Updated) for WordCampNYC 2010
Photos from my day at the Nasher Museum vinyl exhibit
The Nasher Museum of Art on the Duke University campus in Durham, NC presents The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl. The exhibit is closed to photographers, but there were a few items placed in the public areas I was allowed to shoot. It was interesting to capture people listening to albums curated by various artists whose work is featured. I tried to capture the enjoyment of music discovery.
I’m headed out to RDU for a flight to LGA this afternoon to attend Wordcamp NYC 2010, where I will giving a presentation on Wordpress and Multimedia. It’ll be good to see some old friends and make some news ones. Here’s a video from the newsroom as I’m about to leave for the airport.
On Facebook, URB Mag publisher and HuffPo columnist, Ray Roker, posted this:
Raymond Leon Roker: “Dear unemployed person, I feel for you, but the job you used to have doesn’t exist anymore. No time to complain or whine about the “economy.” You simply… Must. Learn. New. Shit.”

8tracks handcrafted Internet radio powering a new generation of DJs
8tracks is on of my favorite Internet radio sites. And, I’m not just saying that (disclosure: I’m on the Board of Advisors), because I’m down with the crew. It’s just that these cats were able to survive the major label mafia and keep their handcrafted internet radio service available to wanna-be DJs. You gotta check out some of these mixes. Definitely music you won’t hear on the radio. I’m digging this mix I posted from Aiden Bordner. Check this out and other phat mixes on 8tracks.com. Start your own radio station, tell your friends, and play all the music you probably have never heard, for as long as your ears can stand it. Anyone can become the DJ. I’ve got some joints on 8tracks as well. You can listen to my mixes on my profile here.
It was exciting to read the news this week about dance music across America. The LA Times and Detroit News both published articles that focused on the growth of dance/electronic events. Miami New Times led the story in March with an article about the Ultra Music Festival. MTV followed up, hyping the connections to pop. The last link points to last year’s NY Times article about the surge in interest in DJ training/education as the recession took hold.
On Thursday, June 3, I took a risk and went out to pitch my business plan and investor presentation at Hatch Match, a unique meet & greet put together by a group called The Hatchery. While some say The Hatchery is making money and taking advantage of the buzz around the New York start-up scene, other believe its an important and useful tool to help entrepreneurs hone their pitches to ensure they are prepared for the gauntlet.
B2B blogging and publishing with iPhone WordPress App
(This is an updated post to the original. WordPress App for iPhone didn’t save my post the way I’d originally intended it to. I had to update this post and republish using my laptop, defeating the purpose of the article. I’ve am grateful I remembered most of this post. There’s nothing like losing your content [...]
Musings about our new certified, pre-owned 2007 Honda Civic and why it’s best to take the Henry Hudson, instead of the Willis Avenue Bridge.
Okay, so I got tired of the bland, generic theme I had been using. I think this theme is so much nicer! You can get this theme called “Jarah” in the Wordpress Theme Directory.
