Here's my idea for turning your lunch bag into a place mat. You could print inside the bag to make it even more fun! Could we waste less paper if our food bags did double duty? What new marketing fun ...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~4/VfIDjASIShs" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~3/VfIDjASIShs/ http://seanfx.com/2009/10/22/new-take-on-place-mats/ Hey a pen on the ground!, originally uploaded by seanmcmenemy. I won't always pick up a penny, especially when face down. But I'll pick up this cool looking pen, I just found. I like thinking about all the doodles, notes and name it's written down.

Leo Laporte talks to Online News Association.  Here are the reasons I think it's important. 1. Anybody can do it. 2. Reach, what ways are we building to get our content to the audience simply. 3. Engagement with your audience.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~4/TJguoRhKu1E" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~3/TJguoRhKu1E/ http://seanfx.com/2009/10/10/anybody-can-do-it/ Okay that sounds weird when I say it like that, but this is a great little painting app for the iTouch. I hope it helps me doodle more. If you're looking for inspiration go here to the Brushes Flickr Group.

It's formatted to fit smaller sidebars. Since it's a PSD you can change the text font and color, the background bar and add your own logo to show off your show.

Let me tell you it's easy. Believe me if I can figure it out so can you. It's really not that hard but if you have a few key pieces of software and a ...<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~4/ICuJIt0QFzg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/seanfx/nsVm/~3/ICuJIt0QFzg/ http://seanfx.com/2009/07/10/starting-a-podcast-key-things-to-know/ This was an experience of a life time! I spent a week with the Men and Women of the Navy. I was aboard the USS John C. Stennis which also happens to be the same ship in the upcoming "Transformers" movie.

How much smaller and faster can it get when it comes to producing content? I would flip if I had to wait 2 weeks to view what I just recorded. How about you?
