Achtung Austinites!
Hey. Just wanted to quickly alert everyone that I'm putting out the next list post in the series on Austin tomorrow afternoon, which means I'm adding all the suggestions to the OPML file today. This post is going to focus on Austin area social media and Web 2.0 companies with RSS feeds!
If you have something you feel like should be on the list and they aren't already listed in the OPML file presently,...

What I've Been Busy With
You may have noticed the lack of updates here. Several reasons for this. Chief amongst them is the fact that I've been increasingly busy with Mashable's new video podcast series, which is getting better and better by the episode (we're already worlds better than episode number two, which is the first episodes that I produced end to end).
In other news, I've been busy on projects away from Mashable,...

Cleansing the Palette
Hey Rizznites,
I really don't have a lot to say today, I'd just like to cleanse the palette of my blog a little bit, since the last several entries are largely about how I've been wronged, offended or otherwise been made to feel sad inside. I'm really not that big of a complainer, usually.

Who Here Uses Kyte?

None the less, it sounded like an interesting concept at the time. At...

Jeff Bezos Likes My Show
Heya.
I have a lot to say, but not a lot of energy with which to say it. I'm running on empty mostly because it's 5:14 am right now. Instead of talking about stuff, I'll let Jeff Bezos (founder and President of Amazon.com) do the talking about one of my podcasts for Mashable:
I hardly ever listen to broadcast radio in my car anymore. Instead, I subscribe to a whole bunch of podcasts, some technical,...

New Directions For Mr. Rizzn!
Hey Rizzn-ites,
You may see a slightly decreased posting frequency here in the coming days. I've started writing this week at Mashable. I spoke with Adam Ostrow, the newly crowned editor of Mashable, Monday evening. I've always enjoyed Mashable's style and timeliness - as I talked about on the show (episode 151) Monday, they beat me on the Google + Jaiku story by about 15 seconds, and I really thought...
