Podcasting 101: or how I learned to stop worrying and love GarageBand
When I volunteered to take on a dormant podcast project for a non-profit group, I thought "how hard could this be?" Naivety will kill you every time. This entry level presentation will trace my podcasting journey to date; including group discussion around software, hardware, server/publishing, and content issues.

Convergence of Social and Business Networking
report on various surveys and discussions on the FB group I have been running on this topic (3 invites and now over 1050 members) - lots of good feedback from people around the world
This is NOT a "gee wiz" session - despite what "experts" say, I am not clear about the linkage of "social" and "business" and wonder at times if there should be a linkage
Really interested in what others have to say about this - short presentation and then discussion

Open Money
Money is the original social software, is not value neutral, and especially with severe bugs evident in our financial systems, is just dying for a mashup of complementary currencies with internet and mobile software to form open money. For example: reframe the dire looming health care financial crunch with health dollars, while promoting regionalism. This is our chance to have Nova Scotia take the lead!

How To Make Money With Your Blog
Adapted from a presentation I did in Las vegas last Oct. at the DMA conference, this session will touch on highlights of building, managing and monetizing a blog (or website).
Originally developed as my first book, the 'cleverly' titled 200+ page book was originally written to appeal to those new to blogging and looking for insight into a reasonable path of developing their blog to be more than simply an online personal diary.
Even if you are not interested in monetizing your space online, I'll cover what's important for general search optimization, which can help increase your readership.

Does Design Even Matter any More?

In the age of social media and easily accessible pre-packaged website solutions, why on earth do we still need interface designers and usability experts? This is intended to be a discussion on the value of design in a market that has commoditized the practice.

~OpenStreetMap: Maps for the Masses
OpenStreetMap is a collaboratively produced map of the whole world (think: Wikipedia for maps). Unlike Google Maps, OpenStreetMap data is freely available for any possible use under a CC license. Up to now, OpenStreetMap coverage of the HRM has been spotty outside of peninsular Halifax. I'm going to try to help change that by evangelizing the project, showing how easy it is to get involved, and giving a demonstration of some of the amazing geospatial applications that open mapping data makes possible right here in the HRM.
My aim is to make this an interactive session after a brief (5-10 min?) shpiel. I want to get as many people mapping as possible!

Putting a value on your service - building a portfolio and clients
For designers, writers and photographers (anyone working freelance)
Is there a time, place, cause or client that working for free is appropriate. Who is in control of the value of your work? Is “it’s just for web use” a reason to give it away? At your current pricing is it costing you to go to work? Digital media is changing the market place. You need to look forward, your business model will need to adapt to the changes in your client base.
