Digitally Diva

So Kat, my co-host, sent me a link to a site with T-shirts…to one that she found that was cute. I was checking it out and found the above item.

ROFL!!!! Okay, this just totally cracked me up….not only the slogan…but I wanna see this T in public! hahaha – I will buy it and pay for your drinks all night!! Who’s up for it?

hahaaha

Do you ever stop to think that perhaps you give people more credit in means of intelligence then you should? I work in a pretty technical field and most of my day to day activities and terminology are way beyond the understanding of most of my friends and family, yet I find myself assuming that my clients are well informed and knowledgeable when the truth is that 90% of the time they haven’t got a clue!

I get easily frustrated when they misinterpret correspondence, or don’t complete tasks that they are responsible for. I guess…as the saying goes…that make me an Ass! Oh and wasn’t there something about you in there too?

In other news – I survived PodCampNYC…barely! I’m prolly the biggest procrastinator in the world or I would have filled you in sooner. No worries though…I’ve ordered the Brian-Blogger 2000 series with the automatic RSS converter and USB expresso maker. Once that arrives I won’t have to worry about finding the time to get all these thoughts on virtual paper. The posts will be digitally transmitted from my brain through a series of infrared tubes direct to my blog and feed to you almost instantly! (I really am cutting back on the crack…I swear!)

So…PodCampNYC – I drank too much on Friday night and ended up skipping most…err…like ALL sessions to nap. I suppose that is what I get for not building up my tolerance enough beforehand. I had an awesome time meeting people at Slate on Friday and then hanging out on Saturday. Many of the people, like Jay Moonah and John Swords, who I had the pleasure of knowing from my Second Life…felt as though we did it all the time! How weird is that? I’ve become so digitally engaged that I am 100% comfortable with the non-pixelized forms of these personalities. I’m still processing the feel of it…. and can’t stop thinking about every time Jay would point out that we were in Real Life! That prolly makes no sense to many of you 2D-ers but it’s pretty freekin cool if you ask me.

I was pretty surprised to see many familiar faces in NYC who I had the pleasure of meeting in Cali last Fall at PME (Podcast and Portable Media Expo). Many of them said they remembered me too…kinda nice to hear even tho I’m pretty sure they were just being polite.

I gave a full list of shout outs in the Podcast The-Broad-Cast #24 due out…when I get to it….and posted up some pics on Flickr if you are curious.

Well, I don’t want to ramble on…it’s the end of my work day and I’m heading out to purchase an external HD for my new Mac Mini. Apparently I neglected to calculate the size of my mp3s and Adult film collections and the poor, five day old, 60 G Mini is crammed full!! To the extent that I can’t even install Skype! Psshh… anyway…my intentions of rebuilding a PC tower to be utilized as a server for said media files is superceded by my lack of patience and motivation…so to shopping I will go! Gotta remember to pick up a nice USB hub too while I’m at it…4 USB ports just isn’t enough…where am I supposed to plug in my USB Lava Lamp!??

Toodles for now…

I’ve been looking forward to this particular Friday for some time now…not only do I have the day off, but I’m heading to NYC for PodcampNYC AND my Mac Mini just arrived!!! I sooo want to open it up and play, but I’ve already got a full schedule so it’s gonna have to wait till Sunday.

So who’s going to Podcamp?? There are over 1000 people registered! I was intimidated enough when I first signed up that there were already 200 ppl but how in the world am I going to meet 1000+!!?? Not to mention I only have 500 business cards. LOL…unless i bring the ones that I oopsed on and misspelled the email address.

I figured I’d post up my plans so if anyone is interested they can try to find me. I’m kinda shy in new places so its likely I will be hiding behind Lynette Radio as much as possible…or a near by plant.

I’ll be arriving by train around 3:30pm this afternoon. Once I get into Penn Station I’ll have to try and find my way to the New Yorker Hotel. It appears to be reasonably close, so I’ll prolly walk. Already planned to wear my sneaks.

Check in, get settled and changed for dinner with Gideon Television. Then off to Slate for the kick off party! I’m going to try an behave…meaning not drink too much and definately no ciggarettes!! I tend to drink a lot when I socialize and before I know it it’s too late…so I’ll *try* to behave.

Up early on Saturday for a full day of information sessions and Podcasting related talks. I’m famous for yawning thru meetings, so it’s a good thing that there is a starbucks near by….and no offense to the speakers – I’m not bored, it’s just a bad habit.

Here is my tentative scheduel…I add tentative as I don’t know how Friday will leave me as far as sleep & alcohol will go…

9am: Social Media Convergence & Virtual Worlds
10am: Live Interactive Podcasting
11am: Effectively Reaching Potential Sponsors
12pm: Lunch / stop by to see Uncle Seth
1pm: Women’s Role in Podcasting w/ Lynette, but I really should attend Chris Penn’s Podcasting 103 w/ a Mac!
2pm: Legal Questions in Podcasting (not sure what this is about so I’ll stay to the back and maybe sneak out)
3pm: Forums, Wikis, and Voice mail
4pm: Beyond Magnetization
5pm: Sex, Sponsorship & Podcasting (If nothing else- I must attend this!)

Sat Night it’s back to Slate for more social interactions. They off to the Canal room to see Brother Love.

If anyone wants to try and reach me – email me at TheDivaRockin.com I’ll be checking the inbox via cell when I am not near my lappy.
