More media appearances
Monday, February 20, 2006 at 7:22 AM • Media Appearances

I did a podcast interview a few weeks ago with Dailysonic’s Adam Varga about The Map Room; it’s now online as part of Dailysonic’s February 20 episode; my segment is at minute 20.

Upcoming DFL-related media appearances include Dose, the Port Hope Evening Guide and Cobourg Daily Star (hey, they asked), and — if you can believe it — Sports Illustrated. Update: And, it would seem, the CanWest papers.

DFL on Northern Irish radio
Monday, February 13, 2006 at 2:18 PM • Media Appearances

I was on BBC Radio Ulster’s afternoon program, Evening Extra, for about five minutes today, talking about DFL. It went quite well, I think: I needed a bit of warming up, but once I got going, I got fired up. You’ll probably be able to catch it via the “Listen Again” feature of the BBC web site.

This is my first media do for DFL’s Torino turn; they originally contacted me last Thursday, so they’re definitely the early birds.

Quoted in the Boston Globe

I was quoted briefly in Peter Howe’s Boston Globe story on Google Maps hacks and the new Google Maps API (see The Map Room). He’d been working on a story about Google Maps hacks in general — which is why he contacted me — when the API story broke.

Faces of West Quebec

I was profiled in the West Quebec Post last week, as part of their “Faces of West Quebec” feature. They were passing a copy around the archives on Saturday. Originally the writer wanted to focus on the snakery, but her ears pricked up when I mentioned the web stuff, particularly DFL. So she had a lot of material to cover in a limited space. (It’s a really small paper, too: only 12 pages, tabloid. No web site.)

That article, incidentally, is the first public mention that I’ll be doing DFL again for the Winter Olympics next year. So Kate got a scoop, albeit a tiny one.

Babbling about Flickr and folksonomies

I may be in an article in the Ottawa Citizen’s “Tech Weekly” feature on Thursday, adding some local colour to wire stories about Flickr and folksonomies.
