Special Holiday Podcast

Douglas Welch started the project, and has asked all the fellow Friends in Tech to pitch in and help out with the Wish Book Holiday Podcast. Here’s what Douglas has in mind:

* Visit The Wish Book site
* Find a toy or other object that you remember from your childhood
* Tell us a story about the toy or object
* In the end, the stories don’t have to be based on the catalogs. Tell us your favorite personal holiday story is fine, too

Try to include the following information in your recording:

* Your Name and Home Town Location i.e. Douglas E. Welch from New London, Ohio
* The catalog and page where you found you item (So that others can see a picture of it)
* Your story

Your story can be whatever you wish — a real-time discussion with siblings, “hey do you remember that? Didn’t you leave that out in the rain?” to amore structured “I remember this…” type of story. Let yourself go! Tell us what made this item so special to you.
If I receive enough submissions for The Wish Book, I will create a daily podcast running from Thanksgiving Day through until Christmas or New Years.

Check out the website for all the info if you’re interested in participating. I’m going to be looking through the catalogs this week to try and get a good story recorded and sent over to Douglas, I hope you’ll consider it too!

  • Ethical Visibility for Remote Workers

    This one is a little harder for me because letting people know what I’ve been up to sounds an awful lot like self-promotion. I’ve never been super comfortable with people who are constantly promoting themselves and what they do. I certainly don’t want to become known for promoting myself all the time. The difference between the two was actually the subject of two episodes of the Work-Life Podcast earlier this year, and I thought the discussion between Wayne Turmel and Marisa Eikenberry was a fantastic exploration of the difference between being ethically visible (I stole the term from them, it’s that good!)

    Snow Day

    OK, so it’s really not enough to have been a day off work, but since it’s Sunday, just a few inches was enough to convince us to stay home. Well, aside from a little trip around the neighborhood to get some photos. Strangely enough, we brought a camera to the Ohio State basketball game last…

    Linked – Former Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile wants to save the media industry by blocking ads

    This isn’t the worst idea I’ve ever heard: Once upon a time, newspaper publishers had a great business model: Selling ads that were printed on paper, then selling bundles of those papers to consumers. Obviously, things have changed — most news is a free commodity and, according to former Chartbeat CEO Tony Haile, some 236…

    Burn out Rate

    Many of you know, I’ve long believed there’s a time limit for how long someone can work at a help desk before suffering burn out. (This is true for most people, maybe not all, but I’d put the percent of people that this is true of in the high 90’s!) Today, when walking to my…
