Have you heard enough yet?

Darn, I’ve really been neglecting this blog… I don’t blame anyone for bailing if so inclined. I think that after 5 years of discussing social media at IBM, I’ve hit a spot where I’ve lost some of my oomph in regard to talking about it all. Don’t get me wrong, we are extremely active still and having a ball. Still tons of creative freedom, and always learning through doing and from the greater online community. I have just become sick of hearing myself wax poetic.

So what does this self-aware dilettante do whenever he gets bored? Launches another project. Yes, we are rocking through some cool Smarter Planet activities on YouTube and on the Smarter Planet blog, but I got the itch to do something personal again. Tired of LinkedIn, Facebook and MySpace (but still having fun on Twitter I must say), I have a new podcast and blog. It’s called A Pop Diary. Available on iTunes, through Feedburner, and on the blog, this is a music-related show that I plan to nurture over the course of the coming year or two (that’s about as accurate as I can guess based on my historically given attention span).

So please stop by. I will only be interviewing people I truly adore musically and will try my best to make it fresh and unexpected. I want to talk about the ‘now’ and dig into the finer points of what makes my guests tick. I want it to be informative, positive and not dig into the past at all. Sort of a diary entry in regard to whare these folks are in their lives now, what they have learned and like to practice, along with a slice of who they are and what they love. I hope you like it.

Maybe I’ll get back some steam here soon… def will be distracted the next few months.
