Still Alive, and writing again.

I have managed to survive last week’s surgery to correct my Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. The surgeon went in and removed an inch and a half to two inch strip off of one of my ribs so that my vein has more room and the blood flows freely from my extremities back to my heart. They tell me that the procedure worked well, although I developed a hematoma and they went back in to drain it. I know that I am still here, and while I am rather swollen, I’m not in a lot of pain.

Next up from the Wayback Machine, the fifth episode in the Bird House Rules/Nifty Tech Blog joint review of Twitter clients for iPad. In this one we’re looking at TweetTime. We weren’t happy with the original audio from this episode, so then we re-recorded this the night before the post was to go live over Skype. This was also the first time we had to pan an product after we’d decided to include it in the series.

#Balticon thoughts…

by Doc Coleman February 10, 2011 Asides

This year I have been fortunate enough to be invited as a panelist to Balticon 45.  This is my first time being a panelist at a con, and I’m really looking forward to it. I also want to make sure I do my fair share of making the con an entertaining and enlightening experience for everyone (so they’ll invite me back…). I’ve submitted a number of ideas for Panels that I might be able to participate in, or even lead.

The Wayback Machine: Bird House Rules: Episode #12: Review of Tweet Flow (with Nifty Tech Blog)

by Doc Coleman December 22, 2010 BirdHouseRules

My on-mic podcast debut was a crossover series I did with Tee Morris for his Bird House Rules podcast, an ongoing podcast about Twitter and how to get the most out of it. We actually met and recorded audio twice before this, but life got in the way and the audio got to be “stale” before Tee could get it edited. This show came from the third attempt, and it marked the beginning of a six part series.

I will eventually add the other parts of the series to this feed, but I recommend that you check out the other episodes of Bird House Rules.
