Heartborken to be missing the many performances of the bands participating in NEMO and the Boston Music Awards. Nathan Asher and the Infantry among many others performing tonight in Boston.

Attending PPME in Ontario, California which is a great experience for anyone involved in podcasting, but this is one of those times when you wish you had a clone…..

The first thing that strikes you about PPME is the diversity of the communities that podcasting and portable media attracts. These communities may get blurred more and more as podcasting matures, but at this stage in the life of the media there are audio geeks, lifestyle content producers, alt-lifestyle proponents, traditional media industry converts, web technologists, social media observers, marketing/advertising types, trade show pros, etc., etc.
