Richard M. Stallman Free Software Speech + Church of Emacs Skit @ University of San Francisco
If you have a few minutes, have a look at the following videos I recorded of Richard M. Stallman speaking to the students, teachers, and guests of the Computer Science Department at the University of San Francisco (event link). The talk covered the principals of Free Software and what it means to the world at large (photoset). Richard M. Stallman, as you will see, is a very animated speaker who believes wholeheartedly in the GNU philosophy/project, which he founded, and travels tirelessly around the world (sponsored by the supporters of the Free Software Froundation) to spread his message of freedom computing to all.

DivX Connected SF Event
In partnership with Jeremy Toeman’s Stage Two public relations company, DivX hosted a demo party for the soon-to-be-released DivX Connected platform at a cozy little venue called MR. in San Francisco. As expected, there were popular bloggers and journalists in attendance like Robert Scoble (Scobleizer), Om Malik (GigaOM), Ryan Block (Engadget), Hubert Nguyen (Ubergizmo), Scott Beale (Laughing Squid), Vincent Nguyen (SlashGear), and others. The evening started out as more of a mixer but then morphed into a hands-on demo opportunity and then into a full-fledge 20-minute presentation by DivX co-founder Jerome Rota. MORE »

Speaking Engagement (July 26th): Linux Desktop Podcasting Basics at PenLUG
I would like to invite everyone who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area who’s interested learning about using their Linux Desktop as a podcasting development platform to come to the PenLUG meeting on July 26th at 7pm in Redwood City (directions). In this presentation, I’ll be covering what podcasting is, how it’s distributed, how to record, which equipment to buy, how to use VoIP clients and traditional phones to record interviews, where/how to get music samples, intro to Audacity, intro to EasyTAG, and how to publish your recordings via your Wordpress blog. To say the least, everyone who attends is going to get a healthy serving of information that should prepare them to enter the exciting world of podcasting.
UPDATE 1: A photoset of the night’s event can now be found in my Flickr photo album (mostly pics of me chatting away behind the speaker desk). In addition, a Google Video of the presentation (including what was shown on screen) should be available soon as soon as PenLUG’s Bill Ward finishes the editing. I’ll post it here as soon as it’s up.
UPDATE 2: I don’t know what’s going on with the video. I’ve got to ping Bill and get a status update.

Monster Cable’s “Get Connected Beyond High Definition” Party
I was invited to attend a private mixer party called, “Get Connected Beyond High Definition,” hosted by Monster Cable at Entertaining Spaces. In attendance were some A-list bloggers, industry insiders, and a few Internet personalities. The event, it appeared to me, was an opportunity for Monster to reach out to the tech community and get the word out on existing and upcoming products – one of which I’m very interested in called, Einstein. Another that’s right up my alley is M-Design and Monster Central. Anyways, it was blast chatting with Jeremy Toeman, Dave Zatz, Thomas Hawk, Scott Beale, Brian Lam, Ryan Block, Veronica Belmont, Neal/Cali Lewis, and bunch of other guests and employees at Monster. I even met the head Monster himself (see pic above - photo credit: Generation eXe), Noel Lee riding his Ferrari branded Segway. For more pictures of the event, checkout Thomas Hawk’s photoset here and Generation eXe’s set here.

Truemors.com Presentation at SF New Tech Meetup
Guy Kawasaki (a VC & marketing legend), CEO/Founder of Truemors.com chatted about his new Web 2.0 venture that cost him less than $13K to make at this month’s SF New Tech Meetup. The full cost breakdown can be found in his blog post, “By the Numbers: How I built a Web 2.0, User-Generated Content, Citizen Journalism, Long-Tail, Social Media Site for $12,107.09.†Overall, the best part of the presentation was not the intricacies of how Truemors.com functioned (though it was interesting to hear that the majority of users preferred to use an online form to contribute content, as opposed to mobile text or voice), but what it took to get it the site started and how the business of “the startup†has changed.
