I'm gearing up to do some live blogging at blogher and NCDD. At last year's blogher, someone said that live bloggers need to carry around a hip flask in their tool box! I learned how to type while I was in music school so I could temp to make some extra money. Perhaps it may be helpful to others who have not live blogged before.

While surfing for some more BlogHers to add to the Nonprofit and NGO BlogHer blogroll, I came across the REAL hot 100: See How Hot Smart Can Be. One of the projects she helped create was an investigation of the impact of images of women in popular music videos on young women and young men.

I found a studio with the right mix of music, intensity, and spirituality soon after moving to SF and quickly found myself hooked (though still rolling up my mat early). I had gone to classes on and off before coming to California but regularly left before savasana, the rest period at the end of class where the mind is invited to be still.

I fondly recollect choreographing my first piece to Flashdance , where I became conscious of the power of movement combined with music.

When I wrote a similar post to this one on on Blogher , a reader wisely commented: That's an awful lot of audio transcoding going on (at the very least, MP3 to uncompressed for editing, back to MP3) which will introduce a loss of quality. Gcast automatically submits it to the iTunes Music store. I hope that helps aspiring podcasters.

I met Laura at Boston Podcamp very briefly and grabbed her card so I could catch up with her for an interview for Blogher. One of my clients is a singer/songwriter who emailed me a few days before she had to go to a major music conference. I write 'slammin' music and lyrics in the Pop, Latin, Brazilian and Jazz genres.
