Treading Lightly launches on TPN

If you’re like me, you are increasingly worrying about what we, humans, are doing to the environment and wondering what things you can do to make a difference without necessarily becoming a tree-hugger. This is the show for you. Us. Treading Lightly. Kevin and Jason are two Aussies who are passionate about improving the way they interact with their environment and have tips and tricks for the rest of us.

We’ve put out a Podcasting APB!

Podcasting APB is a new show on TPN, hosted by me, that will focus exclusively on the state of the podcasting industry. We’ll be interviewing top podcasters from around the globe, discovering their motivation and secrets, and keeping you up to date on the news in the industry. I hope you’ll tune in!

TV masses are revolting: The Age

Thomas Reynolds brought this article in The Age to my attention this morning.

HERE is an idea for a pilot for a new reality television show: it’s about a small coterie of powerful men who grew very rich because they held the only licences to the four television networks that became far and away Australia’s most popular mass medium.

Worth a read. Interesting that we’re starting to see more of these stories hit the MSM.

Companion Link for Google Calendar is here

Looks like this news is a couple of weeks old, but I just found out about it, so perhaps you missed it as well. Via Shazbot:

CompanionLink for Google Calendarâ„¢ is a two-way synchronization solution for people that want to extend their Google Calendar onto their desktop calendar systems or mobile devices. It can synchronize Google Calendar with all the latest Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Palm, and BlackBerry devices in addition to Outlook, Lotus Notes, Palm Desktop, and Groupwise applications.

Well that’s half of the ideal solution for Pocket PC users like myself who no longer want to use Outlook but still want to use a Pocket PC. Ideally I’d like a Pocket PC application which can run offline but synch with Google Calendar once I dock it (or via the web, but at the rates mobileco’s in Australia charge for mobile internet…).

I’ve installed the 14-day trial of CompanionLink but I’m having trouble getting it to connect to Google Calendar. It keeps telling me my email address or password is wrong, and I’m pretty sure it isn’t. So I’ll keep trying. If anyone else gives this a try, please pop over to the Productivity forum and let me know what you think of the product.

TPN mentioned in today’s AFR

For those of you living in Australia, TPN gets a small but worthy mention in an article of page 16 of the Weekend Australian Financial Review today in a story about radio networks and their podcasting strategies. I’d like to thank Mark Jones, the IT Editor of the Fin for making sure we got a mention.
