New Project Blog Launched - Podcast Monetizer

If you're a member of the ScreenCastsOnline forums or you saw my interview with Robert Scoble from last year, you'll know I've been putting together a package for podcasters that will teach them how to create the necessary infrastructure to run a "Premium" Podcasting service. It's taking a lot longer than I expected but another milestone along the path has been reached with the launch of a new blog and a new name for the package The Podcast Monetizer You can checkout the blog and find out more about it here.

Mac Rumors: AT&T Blocking Out June 15-July 15 for iPhone Launch

To ensure proper staffing during the product launch period, Sales personnel planning to take approved time off are encouraged to schedule their vacations before June 15 or after July 15 to participate in the iPhone launch.

Good Grief, About 5 weeks to the WWDC keynote during which we're promised an announcement of the full feature set for Leopard (and is scheduled to be 3 hours long - update: since learned that this is not the case! ) and then just another week or two for the launch of the iPhone! Exciting times!

One Other Impact of the Leopard Delay

I have to admit, I was going to use the release of Leopard (based on the original Spring launch date) as an excuse to completely wipe my primary G5 and put a fresh new install of OSX on it - Leopard of course. Now I've got to wait until October so I need another excuse. Whilst OSX is very forgiving of the multitudes of applications I've installed on it, I get the feeling that a clean build will sort out a few spinning beach balls and the occasional issues during shutdown. Perhaps a copy of the new Final Cut Studio is good enough reason to wipe the machine? We'll see!
