March was a challenge if you're afflicted with FOMO (fear or missing out). VO Atlanta, and FaffCamp two weekends in a row, and I was at home sitting on my hands...or rather sitting in front of my computer watching the parade of tweets, pics, and FaceBook shares fly across my screen non-stop. But...
The "studio" was hard to find. My host told me by cell phone to look for a side-street, then up a dirt ramp...behind a portable office, around the batting cage, and over by the go-kart garage. I began to wonder what I'd really gotten myself into. Back in February of 2014, I participated in a...
Noun, ...any interdependent or mutually beneficial relationship between two persons, groups, etc. This week, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) hits Las Vegas. Next to CES, it's the largest, and most equipment-exhibitor heavy conference in the busiest convention city in the USA. This...
...not much else in this world is certain. People with something to sell you would like you to believe that this product, or that method is the ONLY way to satisfy your needs. Certainly there are some mighty good odds associated with tried 'n' true systems. For instance, given the right...

Motivational, Self-help, How-To, Inspirational training is the clichè's clichè. So ubiquitous is the genre that it used to demand entire sections of Borders Bookstore. Now it surely must take up nearly 20% of the world's bandwidth and server space, right? Of course such topics deserve attention...
Who's heard of this site? It appears to be one of those new-wave online authoring sites like Medium. I would have no idea it existed but for a Google Alert that flagged an article on io9: Why Announcers' Voices Sound So Much Different Than They Used To. The author points to an answer by a...
