Shelly Brisbin writes about new media, cocktails, technology, and the world around her
I had the chance to join Chuck Joiner’s MacJury for a discussion of social networking in the age of earthquakes and late night talk show wars. We talked a lot about the earthquake, not so much about the late night TV. We spent a lot of time discussing Twitter’s usefulness, and its place in our respective social media diets. It was a great discussion, with some really smart people from the Mac community. Listen here.
I’ve had the good fortune to appear on several podcasts lately, discussing iPhone accessibility. I’ve also recorded and written some stuff of my own on that topic. So I thought: why not just post all of those links in one place, for those of you considering the development of a 24/7 Shelly channel in your head?
Chuck Joiner graciously invited me to join him on MacVoices for a little explainer on iPhone 3GS accessibility. It was a lot of fun, and I felt like we covered the bases pretty well. I also had the pleasure of joining Josh and Shane on The Maccast for a discussion of similar subjects, with some extra history and Mac accessibility perspective.
Here are my own collected contributions to the iPhone 3GS discussion. I explained and demo’d VoiceOver, zoom, and black on white for the App Store Pundit audience, and wrote here and here about the new iPhone before I had even seen it. Adam refers fairly often in our Maccast conversation to the first of these posts.
Chuck Joiner invited me to join his MacJury panel for a podcast about the iPhone 3G S. Beware, I almost sound like a fangirl.
If you’re on Facbeook, please become a fan of Shelly’s Podcast. C’mon, click it. You know you want to. If you don’t know the show, check it out here.
Time to give one of my own podcasts a plug. I’ve just recorded a quick overview of the new Skype for iPhone app on the App Store Pundit podcast. Download it or stream it, and let me know what you think of the show and of Skype for iPhone. I’m crowd-sourcing a full-fledged review for the next show.
I just learned that I’m listed in the Austin Social Media 100, in the tech category. I can’t say that I know much about this set of rankings, but I’m flattered to be included. I’m also mining the rest of the list for fun and interesting people to follow on Twitter or elsewhere.
Lately I’ve found that Saturday and Sunday afternoons are podcast prime time. I posted two shows this weekend, so go out and get em if you want em.
This week, I won’t be so much blogging against social media orthodoxy, or political silliness as I will be blogging for the pure joy of doing it. I’m attending Tales of the Cocktail this week in New Orleans. I’ll be filing dispatches for The Spirit World on all things booze-y, and sending observations here, too.
Oh right. Self-promotion. I should do some of that.
I appeared (or was heard) in two recent episodes of Quirky Nomads. I’m kind of proud of GeneTink. Lemme know what you think.

I’ve posted up another podcast. I continue to be amazed that people like the driveway updates. Frank is amazed as well. But we’ll keep doing them until he’s done. Lots of expo linkage, and me sounding more cranky than I probably should. Also, there’s voicemail bait!
