How do you remember people's names, etc.?

If you meet a lot of people, what do you do to help you remember their names, etc.? I recalled a book by Harry Lorayne. He was able to recall people he'd just met in a crowd. I would like to be more like that: http://snurl.com/278ji

Vinoklet Winery as a Meetup Location? (22-min)

I met with Richard Dudley, Director of Hospitality and Marketing for the Vinoklet Winery, to talk about potentially having New Media Cincinnati (http://newmediacincinnati.com) meetups over there. Listen to the audio and check out their website at http://vinokletwines.com/



Should we have a future meetup here?

New Media Cincinnati - Multiple Identities

We had a lively, 30-minute discussion about managing versus merging multiple online identities. Could have easily gone on for an hour. Managing a single online presence is hard enough with all the various social media tools available. Add in more online presences and blogs, and it's easy to see the problem.



Listen to the New Media Cincinnati(http://newmediacincinnati.com/) community discuss this. Feel free to continue the conversation.

Memorial to Robin Broxterman and Brian Schira

Talk about the loss of two Colerain Township firefighters, Robin Broxterman and Brian Schira, on April 4, 2008

Community response has been phenomenal and overwhelming

7,000-8,000 firefighters from around the country expected to show up during the funeral procession: http://news.enquirer.com/…ll/article

Recall my Dad being with the Colerain Township Fire Department when it was formed in 1975.

He was with the department when the only other death happened back in 1977, 31 years ago.



Found a version of "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes, recorded at the Cincinnati Museum Center in March 2007

Thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of Robin Broxterman and Brian Schira. We know your pain is real.

Need help with smart playlists in iTunes

I'm looking for help setting up smart playlists in iTunes for music podcasts and other podcasts, respectively. I'd like to get away from having a single smart playlist for everything, but I don't want to have to click on individual items in a podcast to play them on the iPod either.
