In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

October 26, 2005 From LAX to NYC for ONA
In a moment I'm about to take a cab to LAX to fly to NYC to attend the Online News Association (ONA) conference. On Friday from 1:30-3:00 I'm speaking on a panel called "What's Still New in New Media?" My topic is podcasting. I'm excited to talk to some other journalism folks, and also to hangout with my friends Lee and Jeff (Bocce and I are dying to meet Jeff and Daniel's Great Dane puppy, Ace!) and go out on the town with my work peeps.

August 3, 2005 A Healthy 'Self'-Interest?
Go pick up the August issue of "Self" magazine and turn to page 109.

There (in the "Happiness" section) you will find a quick mention about Allyson's and my podcast. (It's in an article about cool ideas for hanging out with your girlfriends rather than just going to see a movie or going to bars. I wanted them to write that girls should get together and start their own pirate radio stations, but the editor said that pirate radio wasn't "a good fit for "Self's audience." Podcasting was a bit more their style. And a bit more legal too, I suppose...)

Here's a shot we took of the article.

June 24, 2005 We're in a pickle, a Podcastpickle
Anyone who knows me is aware that I'm completely obsessed with pickles. So, it brings me great pleasure and salty goodness to announce that our fine pirate radio show She Said, She Said is now listed in Podcastpickle. Their site makes it easy to listen to our shows, so go over there and take a bite of our pickle.
