#134 PAB09 Afterthoughts

What's in this show: I'm going to talk mostly about some of the events at PAB 09 in Kingston. It's been a month and I'm just now getting my thoughts down. My apologies to Bob and Mark, the show's promoters, and thanks guys, for once again producing a first class happening. First I have some updates about my computer. Then, after I give you a quick reminder of what PAB is all about, I talk about Jowie Taylor and the Six String Nation Guitar. Check out the site, it's full of really interesting stories that I can talk about only in passing. Better yet, if you can attend an event where Jowi Taylor speaks(his schedule is right on the homepage) about this remarkable artifact, you should attend and get your picture taken holding it. As a counterpoint to Jowi's story I discuss some sobering and pragmatic information presented by Chris Penn of the Financial Aid Podcast and Marketing over Coffee. This guy's good! All this leads me to talking about identity, personal and national, and the power of the stories that people tell… I'm serious about my offer to interview any Canadian expatriate, or emigrant to Canada. Send me an email at [email protected] and we can talk via skype. It's easy! Oh, if you can help me understand what to do with Twitter (@bermamot), I'd be very grateful. This is a long show, about 45 minutes so I've listed the time-code for the sections so that if you want to get on to another subject you can scrub your way forward. 00:16 Introduction 06:47 What is PAB? 08:55 Jowi Taylor and 6 String Nation Guitar 25:04 Chris Penn 32:14 Networking 101 33:41 Social Media History 35:51 Personal History 37:29 Call to Action 40:42 Good Intentions 45:46 Close
