I just started the Day at Blog World Expo and saw the keynote with Leo LaPorte. His keynote was excellent and then he was mobbed by a crowd of people. I have to find him and give him my card and tell him about The Wired Kayaker. I think that concept in Podcasting is new and different and he might like hearing about it.
Leo has a bunch of podcasts and you should be watching them and listening to them. I’ll be subscribing and listening from now on. I had heard about Leo through the podcast Geek Brief.tv (I wish Cali Lewis was here I would have loved to have met her.) And anyway Cali has been on Leo’s shows a couple of times and vice versa. I would also encourage you to go to twit.tv.
Leo also talked about Roz Savage. This woman rowed across the Atlantic. Rowed, as in a rowboat. Mind you it was freaking huge but my god the woman is amazing! Leo mentioned her because she is going to row across the pacific and blog it the whole time. She blogged her row across the Atlantic to. I need to go read more about her.
Trying to keep up this blog while in Vegas is tough. For one thing there is no Internet access at the hotel and I usually blog at night. I could do my photo-A-Day photo earlier but I never know if I am going to get a better one by the end of the day.
Today was pretty awesome. I met many people that I had only talked to online or whose blogs I have been reading. Hanging out with Kevin and Ian and Marcus and Gary was really fun too. This photo is of Sim from Utterz. Utterz is the site that I have been using to Mobile Blog while here in Vegas. That was worked out really well and Utterz is based out of Maynard MA. That is practically in my backyard when I am at work. They are only 7 weeks old and already taking the Internet by storm because of the way they integrate seamlessly with existing platforms like Twitter and WordPress and Blogger.
Last night I walked and walked and walked. See I am trying to save some money so I bought a ticket for the Deuce. That is the double decker bus here in Vegas. It is $5.00 to ride unlimited for a 24hr period. So I can ride till 7:00 on Friday night. The problem is that everything here is enormous. I thought the Hard Rock Hotel was so much closer than it actually was. And my feet ended up paying for it. But eventually I got to the Pajama party and I met a bunch of people. The experience was great.
On my way out of the casino I bestowed some luck on the IZEA Guys. They were play roulette and when I showed up their number hit. That is a 35 to 1 payout. So they were happy to see me. And if you think Ted Murphy is excited in everyday life watch him hit 35 to 1 on a decent bet. It was awesome! To rich for my blood but fun to watch. Friday looks like it wil be a great time too. Also I took a few more photos on the strip.
