Chris Penn (no not Sean’s brother) of the Financial Aid Podcast has put together a video that shows musicians, “how to get the most out of the music they’re already selling in iTunes.” Check it out here.

I’ve been working hard while at DrupalCampNYC creating a new Drupal 5 screencast for the Learning Center. It’s a bit long but Drupal does so much it’s really hard to be comprehensive in a short amount of time. So if you’ve got about 22 minutes then stop by the Drupal 5 Tour.

I’ve written about Drupal here before. I think it’s the best open source community building tool out there.
If you want to start a single blog get WordPress. If you want a robust forum try PhpBB. If you want to build a rich media gallery try Broadcast Machine. If you want to do all three together [...]

As someone very experienced in corporate presentations I know how many people despise slideshow presentations. But it’s really not the presentations they despise. They despise the approach. Thing of excruciatingly long presentations with way too much info on the slides.

Think about it. Millions of people with a direct connection to the iTunes podcast directory in their pocket. Plenty of storage (4GB or 8GB). Audio and video playback capability. It could be a podcast consumption juggernaut. Wait a minute though.
