Northern Voice Podcasts
If you're interested in blogging, you might want to check out a podcast or two from the Northern Voice page on PodcastSpot.
Of those listed, I attended the following:

Of those listed, I attended the following:
- How to be a Citizen Journalist
Just take the picture, dammit. Journalism 101 for bloggers. - MooseCamp: Vancouver Transit Camp
Actually, Joe Clark gave a great presentation on this very topic at WebDirections North, so I'd recommend starting with him if you're interested in what transit systems can do to improve accessibility. - Why Do We Blog?
My favorite session of the event and the one that got me revved up about writing what you're reading. First, photographer Alex Waterhouse-Hayward talked about his daily blogging ritual and how it improved his writing. Then, conference organizer Darren Barefoot walked through the lifecycle of a blog, based on results of his survey of people who have started and stopped blogging. I'd recommend this podcast to anyone who blogs. At the very least, check out this bit of Scorsese-Hinkley trivia. - MooseCamp: New Rules for the New Communities
Wide-ranging discussion of what it takes to succeed as a moderater of an online community. Go to 25:40 for my pithy comment on the difficulty of keeping on-topic when anyone can join the discussion. - Holding Paradox in the Palm of Your Hand (slides and audio)
Hard to summarize but thought-provoking nonetheless. - MooseCamp: Hacking the MotherCorp (CBC)
My 2c: BBC Radio has a much more comprehensive service for accessing radio programmes – music, drama and commentary – that has aired over the past seven days. On the global Internet, the Beeb's the one to beat for English-language audio content. - MooseCamp: Hacktastic Wiki Blogging
Superhacker Luke from SocialText connects blogs, wikis, and his favorite word processor, vi, which he uses with the dvorak keyboard layout.
