Milwaukee/Wisconsin Podcasting Directory?

I used to be the guy who maintained the Wisconsin branch of the iPodder.org directory. (I might still be, but haven’t gotten any requests for additions in months.) Is iPodder.org still being used today? I’m not even sure…

Anyway, Sara Oceguera from mkeonline sent out an email asking for Milwaukee area podcasts to list themselves in the mkeonline.com podcast directory. So, you know, if you’re in the area (Milwaukee, that is) and do a podcast, here’s one more outlet for you… Enjoy!

Job via Blog Update

Remember my post titled Job via Blog? If not, it’s the post where I pretty much said I am looking for a job.

Just to clarify, I am (still) looking for a full-time job. Of course I don’t live in San Francisco, which seems to be a limiting factor… I’m located near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and plan on staying here.

Why would you hire me? Because I am passionate about the web, and how it can be used to further communication and collaboration. I think that most organizations are only using a fraction of the power of the web to get things done, and I’d like to see that change.

Got something to offer? Contact me

(Was Scoble involved in the birth of blogging or podcasting like I was? Hmmmm? Besides, I’m probably a lot cheaper than Scoble…)

Not Quite “The Producers”

We watched The Producers a few weeks ago, and it was hilarious. Not so hilarious is this real-life story: Wisconsin Farmer’s Hitler Shrine Will Not Open, Officials Say.

Yes, that’s right. A Madison area farmer (named “Junker”) was planning on opening a shrine to Hitler on his farm. It has all the makings of a comedy, except for the fact that it’s true…

Birthday Bike

I know it’s still a few days until my birthday (June 18th!) but Dana gave me my present already, a Trek 7200!

Trek 7200

My old bike is one I assembled from a dumpster in Madison about 14 years ago, so this is an amazing upgrade. I’ll miss riding “ol’ dumpy…” I mean, no I won’t, this bike is awesome!

We’ve been trying to ride every day or so, and besides needing the exercise, it’s nice to get out and have some fun. Thanks Dana, I love you and the bike.

Microformats @ Web Design Meetup

As previously mentioned, I gave a presentation on Microformats to the Milwaukee Web Design Meetup Group. I think it went well… I talked for about 30-40 minutes while running through some slides and examples, and showed Pingerati and Technorati’s new Microformats Search, as well as the Firefox Tails Extension.

The slides for the presentation are online now, aptly titled Microformats.

This was my first time using S5, and it wasn’t perfect, but part of that may be due to my use of a borrowed Windows laptop. S5 is very cool though, and I’m sure it’ll only get better.

It was nice to discuss Microformats with folks who had never heard of them before. They came up with some neat ideas about how they could be used in the future. I’m hoping at least a few people were motivated enough to create their own hCard.

Oh, I should send thanks to Tantek Çelik and Ryan King. I borrowed most of the slides from them. ;)

(Argh! I completely forgot that I had PDFs to hand out.)
