Don't Be Afraid to Cross the Technology Road...Get to the Other Side with 2 Smart Chix!
To commemorate the 10th anniversary (or something in that neighborhood) of consumer digital cameras, Steve, Marty and I decided to talk about the evolution of the cameras we've owned personally and what we're looking for in future cameras.

What a way to kick off the 2006 International Podcasting Expo! Kristi and I were delighted to have Hart Shafer on Views from the Coop this afternoon. Hart's knowledge of and enthusiasm for Audition, Adobe's professional audio editing program, was contagious...at least the enthusiasm part. We hope to gain the knowledge part, too. I've been using Audition since 1.5 and have recently been trying out 2.0. Audition, previously Cool Edit Pro, is the audio editing software of choice for serious podcasters and when you hear Hart describe the features, you can understand why! If you haven't listened to an episode in awhile, you'd better not miss this one since Hart has promised to come back for a sequel. Our thanks to Allison Watters for setting up this entertaining and informational interview with Hart on Views from the Coop!Renee' invited her friend and colleague, Barb Ireland, to join us for the interview. Barb is the owner/operator of Make a Diaper Cake. We had plenty of smart chicks on-hand to discuss the ins, outs,ups and downs of being an online entrepreneur. If you weren't able to join us live, don't miss the podcast. Just click on the headphones!
We just love all those women out there with the entrepreneurial spirit...and there are plenty, believe me! Renee' Brown is one of those. She started with an online networking business, Women's Avenue, that turned into a weekly Internet radio show, Women's Ave Radio. Renee' gives the entrepreneurial female a forum on the Internet to share business questions and advice, discuss personal issues related to being a business woman in today's world and general tips on how to balance the home/work thing. Don't let this scare any of you guys off. You can get some great insight into what it's like to be a female entrepreneur that will help you support the lady in YOUR life. Besides, you don't want any of us smart chicks to intimidate you...do you?

This is not the first time we've heard from Penny "the Podcasting Queen" Haynes and it certainly won't be the last. Penny has more energy than a 2-year old (or she seems to...ha!) and has recently been the instigator behind two major podcasting projects, an international online expo and a new podcasting ezine, both of which are by and for podcasters...while running multiple businesses of her own such as 1st Podcast Pubishing, Encouraging Audiobooks and eMedia Touch.I love to tell everybody how Penny was my podcasting muse and is the person responsible for my entry into the podcasting community. I can safely say that once I started podcasting, I haven't looked back. Kristi and I are very excited to be a part of the upcoming Expo and I am proud to be a regular contributor to the newly launched Podcaster Central. Penny's passion for podcasting is infectious and her belief that God was behind it all will inspire you. We invite you to join us April 21-23 for the 2006 International Podcasting Expo and to enjoy the 1st edition of Podcaster Central.
....then you'd better do your homework and learn the basic setup facts! READ THE ARTICLE!!! Click on my name, Paige Eissinger, in the list of authors to find out just what those basics are... Penny and her band of podcasting misfits have just launched a new magazine called Podcaster Central. It's available in print and OF COURSE as a podcast! I share a column with Shane Matsumoto of Paradigm Lost Productions alternately called Reverend Mac and the PC Chik or The PC Chik and Reverend Mac...depending on who the writer is, me or Shane! This week, we'll talk to Penny about the agony and the ecstasy of being a podcast magazine publisher. There's also another big event on the podcasting horizon: The International Podcasting Expo. It will be hosted at Co-opworld from April 21-23 and once again, Penny was the instigator and will serve as host! Is it any wonder I call her the Podcasting Queen? Tickets are on sale now and Penny will tell you how you can join in the podcasting fun! Read the Press Release for more info! For those diehard participants who waited around last week for Shane and me to figure out why Shane couldn't login, I appreciate your patience. We kicked the problem upstairs and have been advised that Shane and his Mac will be able to login this week. That means that my Podcaster Central co-columnist, Shane Matsumoto aka Reverend Mac, will be on hand for a VFTC Mac show (tentatively scheduled for April 14)! A self-confessed Mac-oholic, Shane is the guy who can tell us about all things Mac....and admit it, you know you're curious! Join us this Friday, April 7 at 9am CST for a talk with Penny, the Podcasting Queen!
