I've just started a blip.tv channel called w8nc tv. It will feature clips of interviews with folks in Hamilton, Ontario as I prepare a documentary. Hope you like it.

In this episode of Who's On Second? I talk with Stacy Stone (Goodwillstacy Stindberg in Second Life). Stacy's transformation into a Second Life healthcare advocate  began when she was 12 and was bitten in the face by a dog. The jaw injury that resulted in facial pain and a series of operations that left her with titanium jaw joints and a powerful desire to be an informed health consumer. Stacy is now a 25-year-old self-taught online marketing expert, writer and entrepreneur. She's brought that expertise into Second Life on Health Info Island where she wants to make it easier for other patient advocate groups to nurture their niches in the 3D space.  Hope you enjoy the show.

The latest episode of my Who's On Second? podcast features a discussion about information architecture and Second LIfe. Hope you enjoy the show.

The latest episode of my podcast Online Tools for the 21st Century is up. You can listen here. It's all about tumblr.com, a perfect tool for interstitial packratting. Listen in.

In this episode of Who's On Second?, my podcast about nonprofits and educators doing cool stuff in Second Life,  I go guestless, but talk about my recent lunch with Canadian feminist, activist and author Judy Rebick and the connections between her search for social tools that change the world and my adventures in Second Life.  And I consider some Second Life issues that have been nagging me over this last, really busy week in the 3D world. I worry about the lack of transformational experiences in SL and am concerned the technology is kind of broken right now and isn't scaling well.  Hope you enjoy the show and will send me feedback on my thoughts.

You can tune in here.

In Episode Fourteen of my podcast, Who's on Second?, about educators and nonprofits in Second Life I interview Lorelei Junot (Lori Bell in real life). Lorelei is the grant writing wizard behind a growing Micronesia of education and library islands in Second Life.

She's also the Director of Innovation for the Alliance Library System in Peoria, Illinois - now the centre of the known Second Life educational world.

To cap off the episode, I respond to email requests and spend some time explaining how I put Who's On Second? together. Hope you enjoy the show.

Last week Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, posted an open letter calling for the end of Digital Rights Management for online music. Now Yahoo Music and Monster Cable have jumped on the no DRM bandwagon. My prediction? By the end of the year at least one major record label (I bet EMI), will drop DRM. That would be a smart move. DRM is wrong-headed, doesn't work and doesn't protect anyone from anything. Soon, it will be dead. Look for Apple to drop DRM from independent music on the iTunes Music Store inside two months.

In the latest episode of Who's On Second?, my Second Life podcast, I interview Riversong Garden, Jackie Brosseuk in real life. Jackie is the new owner and nurturer of Betterworld Island in Second Life. Betterworld has been the home of some of the most uplifting and worldchanging projects in Second Life, like the remarkable Camp Darfur.

Jackie spoke with me about her journey to Betterworlds and its future from her home in Revelstoke, British Columbia.
