Google’s Wave – Microsoft’s Bing – big players, big changes
We’ve started doing a lot more in-house Voice-Over work at Media2o Productions (M2O). It’s really fun stuff.

We had the lite-bright, the fortune cookies and the live-streaming video. I think I interviewed more people in one day than I have in the last three months. Fun stuff. Vancouver’s... [Read More...]

Is the beginning of MyAlltop the solution to the death of the Seattle P-I?
I thought people were kidding when they said the Seattle P-I was closing up shop. Come on how could that paper be in trouble? Well, I guess it was because the last print edition rolled off the conveyors today. Oh, of course the Seattle P-I will live on in the virtual world. We were having this very discussion yesterday. Based on the fact that the NYT could buy every print subscriber a Kindle and make money if they stopped printing the “dead... [Read More...]
