Breaking all the rules a good podcast should adhere to, I've left it a terribly long time since the last 'cast. However, I'm excited to be back in tp mode, especially as I've got 3 exciting brand new tracks to bring to you. The album is Criminal Record, email me for details on acquiring a copy. Track list; The Scruffs - Othertime Kelsey Hunter - See That Abound - Unstoppable Theses guys are all in their teens, mostly high school students, but I think they show huge potential. And having witnessed them live, I can attest to them being tight performers! Coming up on the tartanpodcast; Raymond...

Last week was a blur of meetings, some very useful, some superfluous, some exciting, some nerve-wracking. It’s now Sunday and it’s time to reflect on the week past. All in all it was very productive. We got the job we were going for, a job that will without doubt change the future of the company. We had a meeting of minds on Friday which was one of those triangulation processes where you’ve got 3 people with 3 separate talents (creative, marketing, networking) coming together with powerful and compelling ideas - ideas that will actually go somewhere and result in real work. So,...
Sven: So what sort of cameras are you using?

Sven: So what sort of cameras are you using? Me: Er, Sony PMW something-or-other...they only arrived a couple of days again. I'm still getting to grips with them. Sven: Ah, very interesting. And what sort of resolution do they shoot at? Me: Er, I think it's 1080p. I think. Sven: 1080p?! Wow! 1080p. I did not know that Sony made a camera that shot at 1080p. Me: Em, yeah, I think so. Sven: Well, well. 1080p. That is amazing. A Sony camera that can shoot at 1080p. Me: ... Sven: I mean I know Sony makes cameras that can shoot at 1080*i*, but I didn't know they...

Yesterday marked the 4 week anniversary of me giving up the day job to start the new day job. Followers of grass-roots podcasting since 2005 will know what the term ‘giving up the day job‘ means and the weight that it carried with us all back then. For me, the reality of giving up one day job for another is still sinking in, and to be honest (and don’t tell the boss) the new day job doesn’t feel like work (yet). But I suppose that’s fair enough. I mean, my old day job involved actual physical exertion and felt like, you know, work. The new job is hard work at times (15 hour days...

Here was me thinking I’d redirected the old Mark:My Words blog to this Tumblr version, but I’d put the URL in wrongly. Sorry about that. Anyway, you may be wondering where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to as there’s been a distinct lack of podcast and blog content. Quite simply, I started a new job on 7th January 2008 and bizarrely I’ve found that working in podcasting/new/social media means that it’s actually tricky to find the time to create as much personal content as I was once able to. This is a revelation considering the amount of twittering/jaikuing/seesmicing/blogging/vodcasting...

BarCamp Scotland 2008 at University of Edinburgh, Appleton Tower Concourse (Friday, February 1, 2008) - Upcoming: I just discovered this this morning by accident. They organisers, to be honest, haven’t done a great job in promoting the event among the social media/new media networks. That aside, I’m planning on being there on the Saturday. Spread the word, last year’s was a great success, it’d be a shame if this year’s wasn’t.

Today I’m on the motorway down to Newbury, Berkshire, to head to Vodafone’s UK HQ which is hosting and sponsoring a 2.5 day event. Our remit is to podcast from it, both audio and video.

I’m working from home today. I pretty much set my own hours, so I decided that as I’d be away from home from tomorrow till late on Sunday night (we’re covering a conference in Newbury - nice and high profile (details to follow)) I’d stay at home today. That meant I wasn’t up at my usual ridiculously early hour, roadworks on the motorway meaning that I either sit in traffic for an hour, or get up early and have a less congested journey. I slept until 9.22am! A record, I’m sure. Work is brilliant, everything I’d hoped it would be and a lot more. I know I haven’t blogged fully...

If you’ve visited the fabled www.tartanstories.com in the past couple of days you’ll have noticed that its down. That’s because I accidentally, while clearing some space on my server, deleted the WordPress database. Now, as I’m too busy to reinstall and reconfigure, I’m pointing the domain name here so that you can keep up with me. Update your feed readers to include this RSS link. Which is ideal, as I’ve got some exciting news to share, probably early next week, o two counts. One is about my new job. The other piece of news is about the tartanpodcast. Stay put.
Digital copy of movies via iTunes - your content in the format you want it

Digital copy of movies via iTunes - your content in the format you want it: Apple yesterday announced the option, via certain DVDs, to transfer an iTunes Digital Copy of the movie to your iTunes library. So, you’ll have the hard copy of the movie in the form of a DVD and a digital copy that you can take with you on your iPod video, iPhone or iTouch. Once again, another indication that consumers are demanding their content on their terms; they want it in the format that’s right for them and to be able to consume it on demand.
