    Today’s podcast (originally recorded on May 14, 2006 – Happy Mother’s Day!) is the 3rd of our in-person interviews that we recently recorded during our fabulous trip New York City in early April 2006. 

    This interview is with the very talented Christian Hoff who plays Tommy Devito in the Broadway production of Jersey Boys (he also played the same role in the La Jolla Playhouse production). This podcast also updates listeners on our ‘fan give-a-way’ news. The winners were: #1.) Gina B., #2.) Paul K., and #3.) Mary S. 

    Questions asked to Christian Hoff: Favorite part of Jersey Boys? What is it like to play Tommy Devito? How is NYC treating you? What was your 1st Broadway show experience like? Give us some perspective on you recent soap opera work? What is the background of your "Marinating In The Music" statement on the NBC Today Show? What is your favorite Four Seasons song?

    Thanks to the recent new members of the Jersey Boys Podcast Frappr Map: Maureen from Las Vegas, NV; Maggie from Tucson, Arizona; Michael I from Brooklyn, NY;  Kathryn H from Oakwood, GA; and Kay K. from New York.

  • Audio Available Of Interview By Grehan With Google’s Cutts

    May 16, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Mike Grehan posted his audio files of his recent interview with Google’s Matt Cutts on clickz.com.  I thought this was interesting for two reasons:

    • It is neat when traditional writers/bloggers release their research that is used to build written reports.
    • Some of the stuff that Matt discusses about Google’s ranking and search technology is very compelling.

  • Getting Started With The Cingular 8125 Windows Mobile 5 SmartPhone

    May 14, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I recently picked up a Cingular 8125 as a single unit replacement for my Nokia 6630 and HP iPAQ hx4700 for work.  I am having a small issue with getting my phone number re-estabilished correctly but that is probably just an administrative problem.

    So far I haven’t had too many technical issues, but I am learning a lot. One major thing I learned came from: HTC Wizards:

    The HTC Wizard is a Pocket PC Phone built by High Tech Computer Corporation from Taiwan, and  it is sold as the
    Qtek 9100, I-mate K-JAM, MDA Vario, Orange SPV M3000, O2 XDA Mini S,
    Dopod 838 and Cingular 8125. [And probably soon others.]

    So check out the forums at HTC Wizards for more details.  It seems like the place to learn more about this unit in the quickest way.

    UPDATE (5/16/06): Newsfactor has a review of the Cingular 8125.  It gets a 4.5 out of 5 score.  I have to agree with pretty much everything written in the article.

  • Some Music Recommendations

    May 13, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    I recently enjoyed the following music from a variety of sources:

    • The Reverse Engineers [podcasters]
    • Brad Sucks’ New Song Demo
    • The Gossip [Dave Slusher’s Evil Genius Chronicles]
    • Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkillers [Eric Rice]

    Another thing that I recently ran into that was interesting was a relatively new site for artists called www.publikmusic.com.

  • Windows Graphics Program Questions – Printshop, Digital Image, PhotoShop Elemtns, Easy Media, Photo Explosion?

    May 13, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Anyone have any experience (good, bad, or neutral) with the following Windows graphics programs that are for sale at Costco:

    • Printshop Pro Photo [$39.99 (after $10 mail in rebate)]
    • Microsoft Digital Image [$44.99 (after $40 mail in rebate)]
    • Adobe PhotoShop Elements [$79.99]
    • Photo Explosion [$19.99 (after $20 mail in rebate)]

    Main goal is to make postcard out of photos, or add fancy effects with borders and text to photos.  I have downloaded a 60-day demo of Microsoft Digital Image to try out first.  I’ll keep you posted on the analysis.

  • How Transparent Are Your Business & Personal Links??

    May 12, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Michael Geoghegan recently pointed out that Tim Bourquin has an update to the ‘Wired article issue last November with Tim’s Portable Media Expo and Adam Curry’s Podshow.’ 

    It is interesting that the author of that Wired article – Steve Friess – is now doing a podcast for Podshow, and that Adam Curry has a comment on Tim’s blog post.  Tim makes a great point in response to Adam’s comment that this is a "slippery slope."

    My transparency statement on the topic is this: I am definitely a huge fan Michael’s Reel Reviews podcast, and Tim’s Podcast Brothers podcast.  And I think that the Portable Media Expo is an awesome idea, and I do have a submission for a speaker position for the 2006 show called Audacity 101 (not confirmed for the show though). We were also, along with Tim’s brother Emile, the first members of the Orange County Podcasters.

  • Eventful Demands Gets Wil Wheaton To Boston

    +

    +

    +

    I did a podcast interview with the CEO of Eventful Demands at eTech 2006 this past March, and at the time I was wondering what kind of impact the service would make for both fans and artists.  It maded an impact on Wil Wheaton … he is doing a Boston event because of the demand.  Very cool!
