Making a DIY Robotic Arm

I stopped in at NYC Resistor Saturday night looking to really start learning how to program electronics using the Arduino platform, and started taking apart the twitchie kit that I’d bought from Raphael to hack on. It turns out that Bre was already in the middle of a similar project, and had fashioned a DIY [ READ MORE ]

Reflections on Podcamp Boston, Day 1

Podcamp is awesome. I could simply end this post right there, but I suppose that’s not much fun, is it? Well, there’s been so much that happened today that I almost don’t know where to begin. People have come from Kansas, NYC, London, and elsewhere to join in the new media love-in that is Podcamp. [ READ MORE ]

Conference rule number 1: you can sleep when you get home.

I’m currently on my way to Podcamp Boston. It’s just past 7AM and I’m already winding past hartsdale, crammed into the only half-a-seat left on the bus when I arrived. That’s my own fault of course… I cut my commute famously close this morning, leaving at 5:45 for a 6:30 bus. That sort of stunt [ READ MORE ]

So many events! I need a Time Turner!

(A replica of Hermione’s time-turner from the Harry Potter 3. ) Why is it that all the events I want to attend here in NYC happen on the same Wednesday evening? Tonight, I’ll be heading to the Video 2.0 event, but that means I’ll not only be missing yet another NYC podcasters meetup, but I’m [ READ MORE ]

This July 4th, turn off your tv and turn on to independence. We’re declaring our independence from Mainstream Media! We’re reporting news you won’t hear on “the big 3.” We’re playing great artists that clear channel’s computer playlists have ignored. We’re creating outstanding video content free from the shackles of the 30 minute timeslot! Who [ READ MORE ]

Radio Free Burrito

Wil Wheaton, who I’ll simply describe here as an excellent writer and blogger with a very interesting past, has started a Podcast. He’s calling it Radio Free Burrito, which is a nod to the original name of his now famous blog “Where’s My Burrito,” which eventually became WilWheaton.net. Wil’s embarking on a week of daily [ READ MORE ]

BarCamp, SXSW, Texas, and other crazy words

Two weeks ago, I participated in an ad-hoc un-conference called BarCamp (photos). BarCamp was basically my ideal conference: plenty of space (generously donated by CollegeHumor.com), lots of good presentation tracks, brilliant people, and no vendors pushing Schwag and products you don’t need. Best of all, it was free – the only rule was that if [ READ MORE ]

1000 friends

Well, 1000 people who know about the GlitchCast is certainly not a bad start. I’ve been getting tons of request to check out artists and play them on our show, and I’ve already found some great ones including Jonathan Hape, My Little Radio, and Chris Ayer. They’ll all be featured in the next GlitchCast. I [ READ MORE ]
