. . . that I have this blog.

With the other sites, podcasts and duties I am rarely here these days.

And when people look me up through search, well, here you are.

So, if you were expecting the Kris Smith that podcasts, you’ve found that one.

Season 19 of Croncast in full swing

Filed under: — Kristopher Smith @ 10:29 pm

Since November of 2004 Betsy and I have been cranking out Croncast at least 3 times a week. We’re making our way to our 500th show in a couple months and we never expected to.

It’s been an interesting ride! We’ve made many friends, traveled quite a bit and Betsy has more people who think she’s fabulous and funny. I think has become her life’s mission as she now proclaims that she is a ’stay at home comedian’.

There’s something to be said for sticking to a project and making the most of it. Even if it takes a lot longer to get there than you thought it would in the first place.

Yes, the old shows don’t sound that great but they are all part of the story!

Wrapping up 2007

Filed under: — Kristopher Smith @ 10:02 am

As the year comes to an end I thought I would close it out with a big “Thank You” to everyone that I come to know over the past year and to all the friends that have been there for me. This year has been a bit of a roller coaster marked by life lesson after life lesson. What’s a life lesson?

A ‘life lesson’ is one of those moments when you realize that the decisions you made got you to a situation, a place that you are going to have to work your way out of. Life lessons generally aren’t very pleasant when you are working your way out of them. However, with that said, I call these experiences life lessons because when it is all worked out I’ve got a new perspective to move forward with.

Big life lessons from year include:

1) If you make ‘extra money’ have an investment plan for it, ahem
2) Get a better tax accountant
3) When signing a contract it has to feel ‘right’, if not walk away
4) Podcasting three times a week is tough, but good for me
5) Not everyone in social networks is a friend
6) Be thankful for what I have, I worked hard to get it
7) Family comes first, being funny comes second
8) Swallowing my pride is hard but required sometimes
9) 2008 will be full of more life lessons

Podcasts from Gnomedex 2007

Filed under: — Kristopher Smith @ 8:41 am

This year at Gnomedex I participated in the conversation with a few other folks off the trodden path in a quiet room. Some of those in attendance were Mark Chernesky, Chris Brogan, Greg Cangialosi, some more friends and a couple ridiculously large cruise ships outside the window.

The payoff for hanging out in this side room were the great conversations that we had about new media, emerging media, blog networks, new search spidering and mainstream media acceptance of emerging media techniques (they’re more nimble than you think).

Fortunately, I had brought my mobile studio gear and recorded 14 podcasts from the time in that room. Enjoy!
