Our eBay auction that we are running to give someone the opportunity to sponsor the G’day World DEMO@15 special edition shows is nearly over….
Our press pass will be giving Cam access to some amazing people…it would be a shame to see this opportunity to be associated with those shows go for only AU$212 (US$165)…c’mon…what are you all waiting for???

In this, the 15th “On the Pod” interview, we chat with Marc Orchant. Marc is the blogger behind some of the best blogs on the topics of Office (at Office Zealot and Weblogs Inc), personal productivity and TabletPC’s.
Marc talks to us about how he went from writing for Office Zealot to writing for Weblogs Inc…what he does in his role as Chief Story Teller at VanDyke Software…we have a great chat about Tablet PC’s and his favourite Tablet enabled applications…we touch on his Moleskine journals/notebooks habit…search tools get our attention…and we finally wrap the show up talking about Microsoft Office.
We also added a piece to the end of the original interview which we recorded a week after the initial interview and we talk about Marc’s involvement in The More Space Project.
Thnx for your time Marc…we have to do it again some time as I think you enough to talk about to fill up episodes 2, 3 and 4 of an ongoing interview series.. 🙂

Listen in as Cameron and I (the “I” i am referring to would be me…Mick 🙂 have a chat with the famous female German blogger and podcaster…Nicole Simon.
Nicole talks to us about writing a blog and making a podcast in both German and English and what sort of material is available in both of these mediums in Germany and the EU. We also talk with her about what its like being a female podcaster, whats a good length for podcasts, the iPod Squish and the Apple community, the German response to the Prince Harry dress-up party photos, the pubsub linkrank of royalty and a host of other things.
Oh yeah.. i nearly forgot…I also get ganged up on by both Cameron and Nicole…hmmm…get over it guys…i am the “code monkey” (in Cameron’s own words) and therefore i control the vertical, the horizontal and the bandwidth 😉
We do apologise for the quality of the show as it occasionally drops in and out…the Skype traffic that day was pretty high… 🙁

You have the opportunity to be the Primary Sponsor of the Special DEMO@15 Edition of the G’Day World podcast by bidding for it at our eBay auction.
From February 13 – 15, 2005, Cameron Reilly, co-founder and co-host of the infamous G’Day World podcast will be attending the DEMO conference () in Scottsdale, Arizona.
While he’s there he will be trying to interview everyone he can get his grubby little hands on. The G’Day World shows that come out of the trip will be groundbreaking, historic and maybe even interesting.
Imagine Cameron saying, at the beginning of each show, “this historic episode of the Special DEMO@15 Edition of G’Day World is brought to you by our bloody good mates at **INSERT YOUR COMPANY NAME HERE**. They wanted me to tell you that their **INSERT YOUR PRODUCT NAME HERE** is pretty kickass and you should rush out and buy one today before you’re neighbour does and laughs at you for being sooo, like, totally June 2004.” All its will take for your company to be part of this, is to be the winning bidder on the auction.
Who listens to G’Day World? Everyone who counts. We’ve got over 5000 people from around the world downloading each show. We don’t know who they all are, but we do know that many of them are movers and shakers in the IT & business world. Bloggers. CEOs. CIOs. PR gurus. Software evangelists. Want to get your message out to them in an innovative way?
THEN PONY UP WITH THE BUCKAROONIES.
The highest bidder wins the Primary Sponsorship. Losers (and don’t kid yourself, if you don’t win, you are a loser, not “the leader of the people who didn’t win”) will get a chance to be secondary sponsors of the Special DEMO@15 Edition.
HOW MUCH IS THIS SPONSORSHIP WORTH?
Well we don’t know, or we wouldn’t have put it up for auction. Of course, we could carry on with a lot of “the value of the earlobes” discussion, and maybe you’d buy it, maybe you wouldn’t, but we’d rather YOU tell US how much you think it’s worth.
HOW MANY SHOWS WILL YOU DO FROM DEMO?
It depends on how many interviews we get lined up, but we promise to do at LEAST two shows from there and no more than forty-seven. Somewhere in between.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE MONEY?
Well that’s our business, but since you asked so nicely? we might use it to visit NY and Seattle and do some additional interviews with movers and shakers? we might use it to book a hotel room in Scottsdale Arizona so we don’t end up sleeping on the sidewalk and getting molested by the local constabulary? we might contribute it to a needy cause? but what’s more needy that funding the continued growth of good podcasts for your ears?
So start bidding and may the highest bidder win. Oh yeah, I guess that’s how this auction thing works, right?

This is a podcast we have been trying to do for quite a while…listen in to this “On the Pod” episode and hear us interview the busiest little blogger around and a man that does a hell of a lot for the business blogging “cause”…Jeremy Wright.
Jeremy is the guy that sold his blog, ensight.org, for cash “ages ago”, he put his blogging services and knowledge up for auction at eBay, he started Inside Blogging, one of the first blogging consultancy companies around with Darren Barefoot, he set up the Business Blogging Awards (with Darren), he is involved in a few books being published and…he lost his job because of his blogging…to name a few things.
We cover all of this stuff in this interview and we go into quite a bit of detail about a lot of stuff including his sacking. If your a fan of Jeremy’s…don’t miss this opportunity to hear him chat to us for nearly an hour.
