My Communicamp Experience: Why Open Conferences Are Danger Zones for ADHDer
2009-10-29 18:35:00 Today, I walked out of Community Media Workshop's Communicamp open conference. It wasn't for lack of wanting to stay in my seat and spend the day with the cognescenti of the Windy City's media and blogging worlds. But how do you remain at an event where the rules of the road seem almost aimed at making someone with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder--like me--feel as out of place as possible? Here's why open conference don't work for ADHDers...and how to change that....

Send Trisha Lyn to Blog World Expo 09!
2009-08-31 17:00:00 Have you been to Blog World Expo before? I went last year and I can’t tell you how invaluable it was to me as a blogger to go. There were a ton of great sessions geared for those of us who call a blog home. It was a terrific learning experience! That said, I want to go again! Unfortunately last year I went on the good grace of using prize money from a contest to pay for the $395 for the Weekend Pass level of registration. Comparatively yes, I’m doing better than some considering the state of the economy, however I still don’t quite have the dough to make the $400 registration + $120 for a hotel + $150 for a flight = $670 is outside my price range! So, that’s where I ask for your help. I’m looking for a sponsor to swing the registration fee and any part of my travel they have it in their wallet to cover. Or, if you’re going to BWE, willing to share a hotel room for Thursday & Friday night, and I deem you a good person, I’ll totally...

Upcoming GLBT Conferences: Send Me Your Reports
2009-08-28 17:03:00 Three conferences of interest to GLBT Christians and straight allies are coming up this autumn. My heteronormative family responsibilities are likely to keep me from attending any of them. So I'm counting on you, dear readers, to send me your reports from the field. Write up your impressions and I'll consider them for publication on this blog, or send me a link to your own blog post about any of these events. Why Homosexuality? Religion, Globalization, and the Anglican Schism Yale Divinity School, New Haven, CTOctober 17, 2009This interdisciplinary conference is sponsored by the LGBT Studies Department at Yale. "Rather than restaging the arguments for and against the ordination of openly gay clergy, this day-long conference analyzes the threatened schism in the Anglican Communion in order to examine wide-ranging and interrelated issues of religion, secularism, globalization, nationalism, and modernity. How and why, we ask, has homosexuality come to serve as a flash point for so m...

ASE09 Meet Market Observations
2009-08-21 20:00:00 Guest Post by Dominic Fawver. During Affiliate Summit I visited both the Meet Market and the exposition hall to see the booths. I was impressed at how good some of the booths and tables were, and also at how bad some were. If I could recognize they were bad as a first time attendee, they must have stood out to veterans. Here are some general comments based upon my experiences. Have a banner behind the table, giving your name and hopefully an idea of what you are (network, merchant, etc.) Have a give away: this is something that will make people remember you later. It is even better if it ties in with your company name, slogan, or something of that nature. It never hurts to be unique. Have people at the booth (I would have assumed that was obvious). Be friendly (again, obvious). Don’t have several people working the crowd and handing out stuff (I got asked if I wanted Perfect English at least 10 times) and no one at the table. If you have a giveaway or are doing a contest...

ASE09: Tuesday Peter Shankman Keynote (Dominic?s Take)
2009-08-20 22:00:00 Guest Post by Dominic Fawver. I see that Trisha has already given a really good outline of the topics covered by Peter, so I will just briefly mention a few things that I got out of it. This was one of the most entertaining, insightful, and inspirational speeches given at the Summit. I really enjoyed how Peter was able to engage the entire audience by using current examples mixed in with examples from his own experience. One of his key points was that you can not make something go viral; you can make something good, and if people like it, it will go viral. This keynote (along with all that I learned at Affiliate Summit) has given me the inspiration to continue on with a couple of projects I had been thinking of for a while. That’s the mark of a good keynote. Powered by Max Banner Ads

New York Looking Super In Both NFL Conferences
2008-11-27 23:15:00 New York Looking Super In Both NFL Conferences-by Jon Wagner-Senior Contributing Writer-Football Reporters OnlineIt seems that immediately after Super Bowl XLII, a general consensus was formed that the road to Super Bowl XLIII would go through anywhere but the place where either of the two New York NFL franchises call home. Many believed that the journey to Tampa Bay in February would wind through Dallas or San Diego, or perhaps through New England, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, or Tennessee.The idea of the New York Giants defending their Super Bowl LXII title was an afterthought, and the prospect of the Giants meeting their fellow Meadowlands tenants, the New York Jets, in Super Bowl XLIII, wasn?t even considered.However, fast forward now, to Week 12 of the 2008 NFL regular season, and suddenly what exists, is the very real possibility of a first-ever all-New York (or if you prefer, all-New Jersey) Super Bowl on the first day of February, 2009.Yes, that?s the new prevailing view for ...
