Beach Walk 230 OTR – A Taste of the Long Tail

October 10, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Lots and lots of people and products from the Portable Media Expo Sept 29-30.

For those of you who are new here, I usually walk the beach with my dog Lexi in Hawai’i. But I am on the road traveling for my job, so you get to come along with me! I like to think of Beach Walks as much as an attitude as a place. A place where we explore the edges of the known world, and think differently.

Here’s a collage from the Portable Media Expo, so sit back and get to know some of the movers and shakers out on the Long Tail!

Beach Walk 220 OTR – Get the Skinny with Tony

September 30, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Tony Katz and I talk about the whole skinny is bad/good thing as Beach Walks goes on the road for a few weeks.

For those of you who are new here, I usually walk the beach with my dog Lexi in Hawai’i. But I am on the road traveling for my job, so you get to come along with me! I like to think of Beach Walks as much as an attitude as a place. A place where we explore the edges of the known world, and explore new ways of thinking about all kinds of different things.

My guest today is Tony Katz of Talk Show on the Go. On the surface, Tony and I are quite different – from gender, to hair color, to many of our opinions. What I love about Tony is what a marvelously articulate and entertaining speaker he is, and how willing he is to engage with people who don’t necessarily agree with him. That’s a very “Beach Walks” attitude.

I’d love to hear your comments, so let us know what you think!

Beach Walk 218 – Safe Travel, Darling

September 28, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

It’s the last swim in the Pacific for a few weeks (for me) as Beach Walks goes on the road again.

I was running late but Secret Cameraman made sure Lexi and I made it down to the beach for one quick last swim before I head out to the mainland for a few weeks. “The mainland” is what we call the continental USA. Or as some call it, the “really big island.”
