Friday morning, Ryan and I will be on NoOne’sListening from 11am-1pm on KSFS. Unless you live on campus at SF State, you probably won’t be listening, unless you tune into the live stream or podcast. Hosted by Irene McGee. The show is all about Webzine 2005 and indepedent online media, so we thought we’d make some.

Hey, Webzine 2005 is coming up this weekend. I’ve got a few tix to give away. First 5 people to email me are on the guestlist. Hit me up if you want in. It’s gonna be mad-crazy-tactular weekend. Check the full schedule to see what you’d otherwise be missing.

With Webzine fast approaching, I find myself doing a bit of media and public pimping to get the word out. Last week, I pimped Webzine at Dorkbot. I’m not much into public speaking but after a couple of beers and seeing friendly faces in the audience, it went pretty smoothly. Last Thursday, I was on Chris Pirillo’s streaming radio and podcast show, reliving the past and projecting the future of Webzine. This Tuesday, I’ll be on a panel called “Vlogging, and Blogging and Podcasts, Oh My!” that’s happening from 5-8pm at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission Street @ 3rd in SF). It’s FREE if you want to come check it out, you just have to RSVP by sending an email to news@davidperry.com. With all that behind me, I’ve still got an event to produce.

Driving through New Orleans

My friend Jake went down to New Orleans to try and help get some computers and Internet working for people in need. Working computers with Internet means being able to get in touch with loved ones, register to find family members and getting news on what the hell is going on, or not going on, and getting supplies. Along the way, he was able to cruise around NOLA and document the devastation, death and hope that springs from trauma. Jake recently called into to the Chris Pirillo Show, giving a pretty amazing account of his experiences. Have a listen, it’s powerful shit.
