About a week and a half ago Amber Mac and Leo Laporte were kind enough to have me on the net@night show to discuss Woopra.

We had a great time and they were very gracious hosts. I’m embedding the audio podcast from the show below, although we did do the show live and there was actual video demonstration taking place at the time. Needless to say Leo and Amber were very enthusiastic about Woopra, and we’ll be getting it installed on their sites very soon.

If you skip to around the 35 minute mark you should jump in where I’m coming on the show. But you could also listen to the whole thing because Leo and Amber are actually entertaining. :-)

Last week Esteban Contreras had me on the SocialNerdia show to talk about everything under the sun, including Woopra, blogging, business and personal philosophies. Below is the embedded podcast for your listening pleasure, but you can also find all of Esteban’s show notes right here.

Thanks again to Esteban for a rousing line of questioning and just a generally good time! And make sure you subscribe to SocialNerdia as he does a great job creating unique and valuable content.

As I wrote over on the WealthNation.FM blog…

Well, I guess they were bound to catch up to us sooner or later. Our supreme editor, Dave Moyer, has compiled the first ever set of Wealth Nation bloopers for your listening enjoyment. Now you can get a real listen “behind the scenes” to see what he has to deal with when he’s cleaning up the episodes.

This will teach us not to be taking extended periods of time off from the show in the future!

Just select the play button below and you can listen to the show right here. You can also visit iTunes and subscribe, follow Wealth Nation on Twitter, or join our Wealth Nation group on Facebook!

For those of you who weren’t aware, I am co-hosting a podcast with my friends Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell called Wealth Nation in which we tackle a wide variety of topics ranging from personal finance to business issues. We’ve started a new segment on the show which we’ll be putting out once or twice a month called “Spotlight on Success”.

Each Spotlight on Success show will feature a different successful entrepreneur, businessperson or professional, and we’ll learn all about how they came to stand out, what challenges they faced, and what they would do different if they could do it all over again. If you’ve got any suggestions for people you’d like to see us interview please let us know. But in the meantime please enjoy meeting Scott Jordan, CEO of ScotteVest…

Folks, just until the end of the day tomorrow (Valentine’s Day… you DID remember, didn’t you?) Amazon is giving away Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On for free. Yep. I tried it myself, and it worked. So feel free to follow this banner link to get it.

But you really need to do it within the next 36 hours or the jig is up. It took me literally about 10 seconds to download the song and I’m listening to it right now.

I can’t believe that I never shared this video clip before! I was telling someone about my cousin Mandisa, who you may remember from American Idol, and when I directed them to my blog to see her – she wasn’t there! Holy crap! What a colossal fail!

Anyway, Mandisa is a cousin (by marriage obviously), and she is one of the greatest singers alive if you ask me (and a whole lot of other people too). She made it onto American Idol, and came damn close to winning it. In fact, she was robbed! They gave it to that guy from Alabama who thought he was Elvis… pathetic!

Here is Mandisa doing what was arguably one of her most popular song renditions, I’m Every Woman. Enjoy!

This is one of those times I’m gonna vent. So get ready…

Yesterday I was at Costco to get meat to make my world famous Souvlaki when I decided on a whim to purchase an Apple iPod Touch. This thing sells for $489, so right off the bat it had better be good.

Now, I don’t know jack about iPods or iPhones, but the signs in Costco all said something about coming with the latest greatest software functionality and they tell you all these things you can do with it… surf the web, watch movies, etc. So, I left the store happy and went home to give it a try.

While doing a little research for my recent Marc Cohn post I ran across the Harvard Radcliffe Veritones and was flat out impressed. I love acoustic singing troupes, and these guys are fantastic. If you keep in mind that these are some of wickedly smart people on top of being fantastic singers it makes it all the more impressive.

Enjoy.

Just like anyone else that has ever worked in an office, I love the movie Office Space. So, as a follow up to yesterday’s Best of Office Space article I thought I’d embed some mini audio clips in case I ever decide to have a complete conversation at work with someone merely by playing Office Space responses.

Um, yeah… hi. Listen, I’m going to need you to come back and read this article tomorrow. Say around 9am? Oh, and I’m also going to need you to come by on Sunday… we’ve lost some people and are kind of needing to play catchup. Thanks!

Yeah, and um, it seems that a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire got a question about the movie Office Space which he was intimately familiar with. What’s so classic is his reaction. Though I really, really wish he would have stared at it calmly and then in his best Lumberg voice said something like, “Um, yeah. Listen, I’m going to need to go ahead and answer Superman III, kay? Oh, and I’m also going to need to go ahead and let you know that’s my final answer. Thanks.”

Seriously, this has got to be the coolest flute player on the planet. I mean, this guy is actually beatboxing while he is playing the flute. I mean, he’s playing the Knight Rider theme song and at the very same time he’s… well, watch the video yourself and see what I’m talking about.

Now, I’d pay real money to get this guy together with the guy who played Smooth Criminal on the violin and Larry Wright the Famous Street Drummer. That would be one hell of a 3 man band!

Reggie Watts is a musical genius. Seriously, watch what this guy does with a little digital recorder hooked up to an audio system. Is it just me or is there anyone else that thinks the phrase “he’s got more talent in his little finger than you do in your entire body” applies?

By the way, if you want to see more of Reggie, here is his MySpace page, and here are more of his videos on Vimeo or SuperDeluxe.
