(I've been wanting to do audio and video for a long time, but it wasn't until my blogher experience that I actually got moving and picked up the knowledge to try my first one. Lisa Williams showed her vlog from Blogher at the Berkman Thursday night blogging group and during the walk to dinner, I got to ask her how she did it.

I fondly recollect choreographing my first piece to Flashdance , where I became conscious of the power of movement combined with music. I vividly recall running in big circles around my front yard pretending to fly; and, then having vivid dreams about it actualizing. As a child, having fun was an easy, natural way of being.

At Blogher Unconference, Leslie Madsen Brooks (who works with university faculty to help them make their instruction more thoughtful and who is also a dog lover ) put up a session called "Slow Blogging. In order to do that, I have to load up Mozart or other thinking music, and get into the flow.

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.

But many black bloggers say the Jena demonstration is really more about a new generation of civil rights activists who learned about the Jena case not from Operation Push but from hip-hop music blogs that featured the story or popular black entertainers such as Mos Def who have turned it into a crusade.

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'd never listened to a Pink song before until fellow Blogher editor, Miriam Verburg, posted about her hilarious video, "Stupid Girls" where she parodies young celebrities like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen Twins. Very funny.

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.
