For those of us who use Linked in, this mornings login came as a surprise…. I am not sure how to take these changes… I kind-of liked the fact that it didnt look like facebook.

Another Great article… I think I love Advertising Age… I mean, who doesn’t love a little futurism from Chris Anderson?

New book on digital music… I think I’ll give it a read

Interesting take on the tech sector from Capitol Hill. I find it fascinating that Apple doesn’t bother with huge Lobby payments in order to achieve their successes…

Twitter… does it matter Twitter… I hardly know her
Feb 24th
Now that I am back to reality, I have been working on really figuring out whether or not Twitter is worth my time or not. At Podcamp Nashville, Dave Delaney gave an inspirational presentation that left me wanting to tweet all day long. He described Twitter as really a mini blog. To me over the past few weeks it has been little more than a mini status update.
This was the case until I spoke with my good friend Joey P who writes the blog mustech.net. He explained to me that he uses Twitter not in the form I was using it, but as a blog headline (if you will). so now I am back on the bandwagon.
I have just done some digging and using twitter feed I am sending my RSS feed straight to my Twitter account. I am looking forward to seeing if this works for me.
Thanks to Joe and Dave for illuminating me on the subject.
Welcome Back Foster

Hola mi Amigos,
I have returned. Costa Rica was a restful and wild time and I should have plenty of photos, etc… once I have a chance to go through them all. My friend Pat is now married off and all of us who attended had a blast.
Here is some video footage of one of our daily drives to give you an idea of the kind of things we were getting into down south…
Extra! Extra! Naxos / Nashville Symphony Orchestra take home three Grammys!
Feb 10th
I just saw the news and just had to share. Naxos (my company in case you didn’t know) and the NSO slaughtered the field taking home three Grammys. Joan Tower’s “Made in America” won Best Classical Album, Best Orchestral Performance, and Best Classical Contemporary Composition!
This is awesome news and the recording and composition really are fantastic. In case you haven’t heard it, you can go get yourself a copy at Naxos Direct .

So it has been a little over a week since I last posted. I’d be lying if I said it was anything less than a doosey of a week. We are currently getting ready for the trip to CR and it seems that I am staring down the barrel of a gun work-wise.
With all of that on my mind… I can’t help but jump with joy over the news I received yesterday. The writer’s strike is O-V-E-R!… Finally, I can get back into my favorite sitcom TV. This is very important as I am not sure how many more re-runs of Law and Order I can stomach.
This weekend was especially interesting as I spent several hours yesterday at Podcamp Nashville, a meeting of some of the greatest social network/blog/web 2.0ers of the area. I learned quite a bit about the various tools and toys available in the blogosphere and am excited to play with some of them here! With that in mind I am now adding the twitter plugin… or at least attempting to… for some reason it doesn’t show up in my widgets… So you only get a link in the left sidebar for now.
I am going to be silent for about the next week due to the trip to Costa Rica… I will be sure to upload TONS of photos upon my return…
Ciao!
