  • Embedding Flash Audio on WordPress.com with an iPad

    WordPress.com is a free, flexible blogging service but has some drawbacks. One of those limitations is the inability to directly include EMBED code in posts.

  • Editing Out Loud Background Noise with Adobe Audition

  • Radio Program for Playing with Media?

    I’ve been thinking about ways I can move discussion about my work on “Playing with Media: simple ideas for powerful sharing” more into mainstream media channels.
