  1. The "design your own promotion" promotion

    I was talking with John Van Meter from Owner's Locker about doing another promotion on the podcast. We got to discussing what might be a promotion that would get people on the fence to decide to give Owner's Locker a try. (And it is a try, since if you're not satisfied you can get your money back.)

    John told me that they have done promotions for $10 off the membership fee and for a free Brita water pitcher, but that he wasn't sure whether those were working as well as they could. ...
  2. Yet another late night

    So here I am, at 2:30 a.m., waiting for the podcast file to upload from Steven, our audio engineer and sound editor. Once it's up, I can download it, make some minor changes, make final adjustments to control files and then upload and publish the podcast and the front page for the site.

    I've got a 9:30 a.m. meeting with another state agency, and I have to try to be sharp for it. This is one of those nights that it sucks to be doing the podcast.

    Hey, the file's done ...
  3. Just a random "You never know..."

    We were talking about all types of listener suggestions on our first anniversary edition of the MouseStation Podcast when a line from Blotto's "(We Are) The Nowtones" -- a song about a lounge act -- popped into my head. Of course, once it was in my head, I had to mention it on the show. (After they all sing "We love the customers; they always make suggestions," Bowtie Blotto -- they're all surnamed Blotto, kind of like The Ramones -- yells out "Play something good!")

  4. Should we take that left turn in Albuquerque? Good question.

    Well, the announcement is out, and the Disney shareholder meeting will be held in Albuquerque this year. It's time once again to consider whether it's worth the expense to have someone from MousePlanet cover the shareholder meeting in person again this year. I've done it for the last four years, but there has been less and less to report each year.

    First of all: Albuquerque? Why would Disney be in Albuquerque? The nearest I can figure is that High School Musical is ostensibly ...
  5. When is an anniversary show not an anniversary show?

    This Friday's MouseStation Podcast is our first anniversary show. The first episode was published on January 11, 2007. But this show isn't going to be published on time. Due to scheduling and technical issues, the show isn't going to be published until late Friday night, and most people won't be able to listen to it until Saturday morning.

    It's not an ideal situation, but it's what happens when people actually have real lives. It's unfortunate that it happened to our anniversary ...
