Northern Voice 2007 Take Aways

Submitted by bradg on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 11:59

This year's Northern Voice -- the 2007 edition -- was a great event. In terms of the things I wanted to get accomplished:

  • I did interviews for future Current Thinking Radio podcasts with the likes of Lee LeFever, Anil Dash and Robert Scoble.
  • I got some tremendous insight into digital photography for the web from Kris Krug and Warwick Patterson (Warwick also had some good tips on video).
  • Tod Maffin's My Favorite Tools resulted in me downloading and using three of the tools.
  • Dave Olson is a relentlessly cool podcaster and makes the rest of us look like dorks.
  • Nancy White is doing good things trying to figure out the amorphous.

    • Chris Pirillo -- who I have butted heads with in the past over at techpodcasts.com -- was also at NorthernVoice but in something of a more exhausted state. Chris popped in later Saturday morning, I was hoping to get a few minutes of his time for the podcast but he was not in a talkative mood. I told him how I felt his writing was getting richer, more on point; which I attribute to his marriage. Chris thanked me profusely and apologized for not being more engaged at NorthernVoice. He explained it to me and here is his explanation for you.

    And here is something else I got at NorthernVoice -- 2 days off work when I really need to be at the office. It seems like a lot of us got sick there. On Tuesday a fever of 38.5. Very memorable.

    Eric... don't I know it! Blog theft drives me crazy and I have posted a few times in the past about splogs and copyright violations

    Heh. Thanks for the link, Brad. We didn't talk at Northern Voice, but now that I know who that thoughtful looking guy was, I'll keep an eye on your blog/podcast.
