After a busy day yesterday with PodcampEDU 2007 and the “Cut Loose the Body” poetry event, I appreciated the day of worship at church today.

Things started off a little rough with soundboard issues, but everything smoothed out as the service started. Beautiful worship and a great message by Pastor Dan.

The time of reflection got me thinking about priorities in life and the importance that I need to put on my family and my work. I love my media life, but it does not come close to producing the joy and peace that I get from my faith and my family.

Also, today’s Veteran’s day observations brought a special importance to the day.

Thanks to all of you who serve and my brothers and sisters in arm who continue to serve today.

I’ll be attending PodcampEDU DC on Saturday, November 10th here in DC.

The PodCamp for educators and those interested in education and multimedia!

No, I’m not in education, but I’m all for helping anyone interested in podcasting and new media to learn more about it. I won’t be presenting, but the true magic at podcamps happens in the hallways and between presentations when the one-on-one conversations occur.

Another key factor is the networking that occurs at these events. I’ll be able to meet and hang out with other local podcasters and producers. I went to the original “unconference” PodcasterCon back in January of 2006 in Fayetteville, North Carolina. It was a truly wonderful experience.

With a maximum participant count of 85 registrants, PodcampEDU will be notably smaller. Far less than the rumored 1,300 registrants and this weekend’s PodCamp Boston 2.

This event will also be a good primer for the first PodCamp DC in April of 2008.

Hope to see you there!
