Podcast delayed

After I read Chris Brogan’s post earlier today on overcoming the fear of blogging. Where he talked about overcoming perfectionism, failure, self-consciousness; I decided to just put on the headset, fire up WildVoice and make a podcast.

I was only half way through the first sentence when this coughing spell took over. So here I sit at my PC hacking up a lung, the final stages of a nasty flu bug which has been dogging me for the last two weeks. I can’t even take any OTC cough meds because they will keep me up all night.

So my podcast and the launch of my SEOTips Screen cast is postponed.

Call for Submissions - 2008 Canadian New Media Awards

The call for submissions for the 2008 Canadian New Media Awards is now open.

The Canadian New Media Awards (CNMA) were established in 1999 to promote and celebrate excellence within the digital interactive industry. I could be wrong, but I do believe the predecessors were the IDMAs (Interactive Digital Media Awards) which were part of the old newMedia Trade show held every spring in Toronto.

The CNM Awards recognize the accomplishments and outstanding contributions made by Canadians working in this sector. Judges from across the country select 42 finalists and 14 winners from hundreds of entries submitted in featured categories (seven product and eight individual or company) that showcase the world-class skills of the new media industry’s top talent, services and products. Each year, hundreds of business and new media professionals from across Canada gather to honour the country’s top talent, services and products at the Gala Awards Ceremony. The Awards are presented in partnership with Telefilm Canada, Deloitte and RBC.
