Music: Kina Grannis
I’ve had major technical problems today. So, instead of an episode, I’m giving you my hands-on review of the One Laptop Per Child Laptop, or the XO Laptop. My G5 crashed twice, so I recorded on my MacBook and it’s a little impromptu. So, I apologize. I’ll be back on Wednesday with a fully functional audio system, and with a real episode!
Anyways, Mark Peck from Telco Talk and a friend from school lent me his XO Laptop for the evening. Here’s my review of the Open Source Initiative.
See you Wednesday!
(Last one had some issues, so here it is again)

I’ll be back on Wednesday!
Facebook recently launched their new pages feature, so, naturally, I went ahead and created a page for Nerd News Radio. It’s meant for people to promote their businesses, services, brands, etc. It’s integrated with their new ad campaign feature. People can become fans of these pages, so, you all should go ahead and do so!
This isn’t a replacement for groups, but rather an addition for more professional businesses and services.
Here’s the Nerd News Radio Facebook page, the Facebook group, and my personal profile.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with more about PodCamp, and a bit more news!
So, as I’m sitting here in a session, might as well talk about the event so far. Maybe later today I’ll record a short episode about PodCamp.
My session on Teen Podcasting, late Saturday afternoon (yes, it did happen!), was unbelievable. Some great people, including Ann Bernard from Pownce, showed up with great ideas on teens, podcasting, education, and (new)media. Forget the fact that it was a “session”, it seemed more like a group brainstorming session. Later, once I can get my thoughts together (that’s a sleep issue), I’ll be sure to write it up and put it up somewhere. As far as I know, there will be an audio recording of the session, but that won’t help too much because the session was highly participatory, and only I had a microphone. And, thanks to Dave LaMorte for giving my his session slot.
And, thank you Ann, Hugh, Derrick, Dave, Leslie, and everyone else, for coming to see the session. I had fun.
Currently, I’m in the “Is Podcasting a Revolution?” session in room 206b.
So, if you’ve been reading my blog, you know that there have been some “issues” with my session at PodCamp Boston. Well, those issues are almost gone, thankfully.
Here’s what happened. The PodCamp Boston “master schedule” was released, I noticed that my session was not present, so I wrote a blog post and contacted the PodCamp Boston crew, with a self-admittedly angry letter. You can read the original blog post here. There were a lot of quick emails and interactions, and currently, they’re looking for a session slot for me! Thank you Chris (Cofounder) and Whitney (organizer) for your quick responses and support. And, thank you all who contacted the PodCamp Boston team. It means a lot to me. This is why I love the Internet.
Here’s the original post.
Here’s the update (Must read).
