Mike's Manic Minute 07 Jul 06 Gnomedex 6.0 is history. . . OK, I know I'm a bit late with my Gnomedex  (www.gnomedex.com) news but it's been quite a week of parties and celebrations.  Gnomedex had two awesome schmoozefests at the Museum of Flight (http://www.museumofflight.org/Portal.asp?Flash=True) and at the EMP (Experimental Music Project) (http://www.emplive.org/) last weekend.  Then I went to a "going-away" party at Robert Scoble's soon-to-be-old-house in Bothel, WA (http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/2006/07/03/anyone-want-some-bbq/) and then a  private party on July 3rd, fireworks on July 4th and then a dinner party at my house last night. . .whew!  It's nice just to stay home and relax tonight!   One of the most interesting things to come out of Gnomedex was the thought that the blogosphere is essential one long competition of "American Ego" in which no one ever gets booted off the show!   Any news is good news. . . . . .so they say!   This week my new evangelism "initiative" known as Project Glidepath (www.projectglidepath.net) , got picked up by Mary Jo Foley at Microsoft Watch (http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1984840,00.asp?kc=MWRSS02129TX1K0000535) and the emails and blog posts started flying fast-and-furious http://www.technorati.com/search/glidepath .  If you're going to the Shareware Industry Conference www.sic.org  next week look me up.  If you're not stay tuned to the Project Glidepath blog (www.projectglidepath.net/blog) for full details.     Podcast of the day. . .   Ok, I admit it, I'm a just as much a sucker for a good laugh at the expense of a clueless politician as the next guy. . .   Today's podcast-of-the-day:  Podcast411 http://www.podcast411.com/   This is for their interview with Ted Stevens and his "the internet is pipes" podcast.   Manic Minute Recommendation: Listen up, your lawmakers are mumbling!   And that's your Manic Minute for July 7th, 2006, brought to you by www.business-podcasting.com . . . 12:10:41 PM    comment []
