See you next week

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

As I remain hostless, I’m going to move forward with cancelling the show tonight. Look forward to resumed production next week.

Taking a week off/Hosting opportunity

Monday, October 8th, 2007

I have family in town this week, so I need to take a break from hosting the show Wednesday. If anyone is interested in taking over hosting duties this week (as Mary Carmen has done so admirably in the past), I’d be happy to walk you through the basics. Drop me an email via the [...]

Two new easy ways to call in live

Friday, September 7th, 2007

TalkShoe released a update for their TalkShoe client Friday that contains two features worth highlighting, particularly for those of you who hesitated to call in previously.
1. You don’t need to sign up to call in.
For those of you who cited unwillingness and/or disinterest in registering at TalkShoe as a barrier to participation in the live [...]

The Show Must Go On

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Just wanted everyone to know that I will be taking a few weeks off as the host of Uncontrolled Vocabulary, due to family-related priorities.
The good news is that I’ve found a top-notch guest host in Mary Carmen Chimato. Many thanks in advance to Mary Carmen for taking on this responsibility during my absence. You’re all [...]

For all you Facebook fans out there, I’ve formed a group for Uncontrolled Vocabulary. Anyone is welcome to join: 34 people already have. Help us answer some of the pressing questions in the discussion area.

Three ways to be there live

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Thought it might be worth clearly laying out how one can join in the live experience either by calling in, listening and text chatting, or just listening to the live stream.
I covered the calling in instructions fairly succinctly in an earlier post, so I’ll just reiterate.
1. Go to TalkShoe and create an account. When you [...]

How to call in for free (for now)

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I mentioned in the first post that there are two ways to call into TalkShoe without paying the long distance charges. The first is by having free nights and weekends on your cell phone plan (or some other long distance bundle or whatever). The other is to use a SIP-capable VoIP client, of which there [...]

Story ideas and suggestions

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

I’ve been thinking about ways in which I can both organize my own notes for shows and allow others to contribute and help build shows. My initial plan had been to wikify the experience, but that’s proven to be a little too clunky for my taste.
Instead, I’m taking advantage of tagging with del.icio.us. Anyone who [...]

Announcing the pilot

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

I’ve tentatively scheduled the pilot episode of Uncontrolled Vocabulary for Thursday, June 28th at 10 PM Eastern. I’m planning on letting the recording run about an hour.
Here’s how you participate:
1. Go to TalkShoe and create an account. When you do so, you’ll create a 10-digit PIN. Remember it.
2. Download the Talkshoe Live! application from the [...]

Something a little different

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

OK, so I’ve had this idea for a podcast germinating in my brain for a while now. Inspired by the folks doing TWiT, I wanted to start something of a roundtable discussion about current events in librarianship. The concept was to get a regular group together, where each person brings a story or two to [...]
