The Blogging, Podcasting and RSS panel at WMC 2009 focused on the various ways to get out the message through blogging, podcasting and RSS.

DJ Elyse ingenious digital promo vehicle: a pill bottle containing a $3 usb drive
I just got this pill bottle from DJ Elyse (systemaddix.com). It’s got a USB drive containing her latest mix show. I knew this was gonna happen one day, I just didn’t know when. Props to Elyse for the ingenuous marketing idea of the day.
On the label, she wrote:
“Take as often as needed”
“Unlimited Refills”
“Making Productions America Trusts”
“May Cause Euphoria. Alcohol May Intensify This Effect. Use Care When Operating A Car Or Other Damgerous Machinery.”
This is just genius!

Rolling video from WMC 2009
I flew in to Ft. Lauderdale today and caught the Go Shuttle to South Beach. I shared a ride with some folks also heading to the Winter Music Conference.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get it on video, but we did an impromptu Ableton Live tutorial in the vehicle. I taught everyone how to set up their midi session and configure Ableton with a midi-interface. Pretty funny how you get down to business well before you register for the actual conference.
