Interview with Pixorial
Posted Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 10:13 am by Dave Moyer
I was out speaking at the CSIA DEMOGala 2009 just a few weeks ago, and I was dragged over by the folks at Pixorial to talk about what I do and how I got started in the digital media world. (Excuse the just rose from the from cold/flu dead look and feel- it’s snowy Colorado! Sometimes it just can’t be avoided!)
It’s a short little bit, but Melissa Hourigan’s post on Soci@lByte is too nice, and the folks at Pixorial are great. Look for an interview with them on Best of the Net from Bitwire Media soon!
Interview with Voices of the Past
Posted Sunday, October 18th, 2009 12:01 am by Dave Moyer
When I was down in Texas for WordCamp Dallas 2009, I got the chance to talk to Jeffery Guin from the Voices of the Past on what I do at Bitwire and technology in education. I do workshops with various schools as often as I can and I work with many different educators and figures who affect students to help make learning connect to the 21st century world we live in. (My bit starts just about 3 minutes in)
Thanks to Jeff and the VotP team, and to John P. for his lovely backdrop that didn’t get as much use as he’d hoped. (AND to John’s lovely wife, Holly, for spending hours steam cleaning it!)
I’m Speaking at WordCamp Phoenix 2009
Posted Monday, October 12th, 2009 1:24 pm by Dave Moyer
For those of you in the Phoenix, AZ area (and even those of you who aren’t!) I’ll be there speaking at WordCamp Phoenix, a WordCamp conference for WordPress users, bloggers, and social media enthusiasts of all skill levels and backgrounds.
I’ll be talking on using WordPress as a multimedia publishing platform: Go beyond the words! Learn to use WordPress as a powerful tool for multimedia distribution (text blogging is so 1999).
For those of you who’ve seen my sessions at (most recently) WordCamp Dallas,San Francisco, and Denver this year, this should be somewhat similar, but I’ve got 30 minutes as opposed to a full hour, so things will definitely be switched up a bit. Plus, what fun is it to the same thing every time? I always try to have new surprises no matter what the session ;)
If you’ve never been to a WordCamp before, they’re my favorite for a reason. (See my Top 8 Reasons Why WordPress Users Need to Get to a WordCamp.) If you’re interested in WordPress, blogging or any kind of emerging social media, they’re the place to go.
More information:
- Date: Friday November 13, 2009
- Price: $30
- Where: Arizona Grand Resort
- Who will be there: Other notable speakers include the lovely and talented Lorelle VanFossen, WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg, Merlin Mann of 43Folders fame, and many more!
For registration and even MORE WordCamp Phoenix info, visit the official website.
Hope to see you there!
9News in the studio

Denver TV news leader 9News was nice enough recently to come down to the Bitwire Media studio during a taping of the Aimless Agenda Show a few weeks ago and talk to me about podcasting and digital media and… play… my very first podcast… on the air. Painful.
Also included in the story, one of the nicest people I’ve ever known, Cali Lewis of GeekBrief TV!
