Thank God it’s Friday! Right?
Do Friday’s hold the same thrill for folks who work for themselves as they do for folks who work for “The Man”?

I received feedback on the topic of change from Day 6.
First we hear from Jen of Inside My Head and her take on change varies depending on the driving force behind it.
Next we hear from Will Brown of The Workshop who also brings up an interesting twist to the whole National Podcast Post Month. Is it only for the US? Can folks who live elsewhere participate?
Thanks so much for the feedback and for participating in the wild and crazy fun that is NaPodPoMo

Today’s show topic: Mistakes and how we deal with them.
As you can see from my *Update* note on the Day 3 post. I made a mistake when I posted my audio. It got me to thinking about how mistakes can cause us to react a couple of different ways. So how do you deal with mistakes?
With Podcamp AZ happening today I talk about Community online and in real life
*UPDATE* 11.04.07Â I realized today that in my haste to post day 3 before heading out of town for my sons football game, I posted a repeat of the day 2 audio. I’ll get you were wondering why my post titled “Community” was talking about my nano. Goes to show that mistakes can and will happen when things are done in a rush. I’ve now posted the correct audio for your amusement.
In day 2 of the NaPodPoMo Jennifer experiences the loss of her beloved iPod Nano. It’s time for a “Tear in my Beer” beer.

You may be wondering, “Just what the heck are NaPodPoMo & NaBloPoMo?”
A foreign language? Like say….Pig Latin?
No. Nothing as fancy as that.
NaPodPoMo stands for National Podcast Post Month and NaBloPoMo stands for National Blog Post Month.
Both of these are based off of the very popular NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month which kicks off today, November 1st. It lasts for 30 days and ends at 11:59pm on November 30th. The premise is to write a 50,000 word novel over the course of the 30 days. It doesn’t have to be pretty or even good. As a matter of fact FAQ Reason #2 states, “Aiming low is the best way to succeed.” I do have a few books I’d like to belt out, but they all happen to be non-fiction so that counted me out.
In my continued search I found out there was also a NaBloPoMo happening at the same time. Post every day to your blog for 30 days. Once again the idea is to just get it out there.
So I said to myself, “Hey, I have a blog.
“Hey, I’ve been wanting to post to it more.”
“Hey, I think I’m gonna do it!”
So I signed up. I figure it’ll be a great way to find my blogging voice and by participating I’ll also end up with what I hope will be some kick ass blog posts. Whereas now I’ve only got a handful. Who knows after all is said and done maybe I’ll keep up the daily postings. And THAT would be great!
When I find something cool I tell my online buddies about it, too. I posted it to the SA Podcasters message board. The conversation continued on Twitter
with a joke that it would be too hard to do something like that in the Pod-O-Sphere. The more I thought about it the more I wanted to do a podcast version. I wondered if there was already a group that I could join. My search turned up empty for podcasts but I did come across a NaVloPoMo or National Video Blog Post Month event. Wow! Vloggers were in on the fun, too? That clinched it for me. On Monday afternoon I jumped in and created the NaPodPoMo site on Ning.com
You see although I have a couple of podcasts in existance, there is a part of me that would like to post more shows more often. Due to the nature of the existing shows it’s not possible to do at this time. So what better way to get into practice of creating shows on a daily basis than NaPodPoMo? Since it doesn’t have to be pretty or amazing I’m free to experiment, be as creative as I want to be and use new tools to make this happen. I plan on using Utterz, BTR, my iRiver, my Phone, Jott to help augment my microphone and keyboard.
Since the premise of both events is focused on the DOING of a blog post and the DOING of a podcast, I think they go hand in hand. So I’m diving in with both feet DOING both NaBloPoMo & NaPodPoMo.
Personally I’m looking forward to the challenge.
