Trust me, I never assume that the TSA wants to see me naked. I am not even sure my wife wants that. I always assume that, even if having me take off my shoes is misguided, the TSA is trying to keep me safe. It might be because this is the attitude t…

I would love a stumble for this guest post about trekking gone wrong

Thinking of creating a video course. What would you change on your blog if you knew a little more HTML?
Nick, et al. I think you will get better StumbleUpon traction if you make the pictures larger. Always have a photo (can't remember which article recently had no photo) and use pictures at least 500 pixels wide.
Robin, that's a better post for the StumbleUpon group. Let's use this group just for how to use WordPress.

New Media Cruise / Podcamp@Sea from NYC the day after #TBEX '10
I ended up scheduling the New Media Cruise / Podcamp@Sea to leave New York the day after TBEX to make it easier for anyone from the show who wants to come and learn more about new media (audio and video content) in more depth. This should be a wonderful networking opportunity as well. It is a 5 day unconference on New Media aboard a cruise ship to Halifax and Saint J… Continue

I like your site and would like to offer a couple of things:

2) I'd be pleased to join your show to talk about my recent trip to Venice, Lake Como, Zurich and Salzburg, and/or my upcoming trip to Amsterdam.
Let me know!

- Hey Chris, if I end up missing your meetup, come to mine the next day! I really want to meet you.
I just wanted to invite you to a little meetup I'm organizing at noon in Wicker Park Sat., July 25.
We'll eat some delicious food, soak up the rays and listen to the bands for some general chilling out before the conference.
Please RSVP on Facebook

The Trip Chicks/Ann Lombardi said… - Hey, Chris. Great site and superb podcasting! Say, how'd you like to be on the other end for a change? Maybe you'll consider being the interviewee? Would be great to do a phoner with you on our travel talk radio show. If curious, email Dan at thetripchicks@mindspring.com for details. Thanks and all the best for this new year.

Todd Lucier said… - Chris, I had facebook connect up and working, but they must have changed something - the sociable folk, because it fails now and isn't working. So I removed it. Google's app on the other hand is very tidy.
