Kennedy-Spaien, Dot Com

So I didn’t make it to PodCamp NY ‘07. While I wish it would’ve been possible to go, at least I can take solace in the fact that I am in good company: Justin “Rob Sharp” Kownacki didn’t make it. Neither did Barack Obama, for that matter!

While it would have been a great networking experience, and I would get to see The Mayor (Who lives 10 minutes from me!) and Whitney Hoffman plus all kinds of new friends, I did get some networking in via Twitter.

With an event that big, if you add yourself to the event twitter group, people just seem to assume you are there! I scored a few new twitterfolken, including jMoonah of Uncle Seth (we met fleetingly at PodCamp Boston ‘06) and Tiil who is working on a new video aggregation channel.

On the flip side:

Since Ben Yoskovitz has sadly left Grasshopper New Media, Whitney, Megin Hatch and I have been doing some talking about exciting new directions to take our various properties (together in one way or another, I’m pleased to say). It will be a lot of fun to boldly forge a new path for all our great shows and blogs!

I’ve also decided to outsource my record label’s retail fulfillment operations to CDBABY, which will free up a lot more time at the Kennedy-Spaien homestead!

Working on my taxes, it seems that for the first time, Disc of Light is operating at a profit! Woot! Well, except for paying the taxes on that profit, but hey… what are you gonna do?

Other things I’m grateful for are that we’re 2 episodes in to a great new show - Yoga: It’s a Gas! and that Michelle at Healthy Helpings TV has managed to recover from a broken camera only missing one week!

So, in retrospect “Takin’ Care of Business” was probably the better choice for me this time around, but I really hope to make PodCamp Pittsburgh ‘07 (If they can set a date, already!) and wild horses won’t keep me away from PodCamp Boston ‘07. I hope to do VON Boston as well!

If I don’t see you there, add me as a Twitter Friend!
