Just back from an amazing week in Pittsburgh, Podcamp Pittsburgh and VisitPittsburgh.com invited myself and 7 other social media movers and shakers for a week of exploration and fun.
Chris Brogan — one of the few people who can legitimately be referred to as a “social media guru”
Grace Piper — irreverent hostess of Fearless Cooking
Jim Russell — blogger, economist and Rust Belt expert
Jonny Goldstein — blogger and former host of “It’s Jonny’s Partay” webcast
Marc and Fausto from Feast of Fools — hosts of America’s #1 GLBT podcast
Nathan King of blip.tv — representing the web’s emerging TV network
Lots of thanks to the two peeps who made it all happen, Justin Kownacki of Podcamp Pittsburgh and Kristen Mitchell of VisitPittsburgh.com
Pittsburgh is an amazing city with a very diverse and rich arts and business community. Highlights are many but certainly the Festival of Firsts was amazing as was the Andy Warhol Museum. If you are a media artist (or a fan of my Media Artist Secrets) who wants to move from creating content to making it into a business, the museum is hugely inspirational. If you are into social media, read up on and study Warhol. For real. This is his quote:
“Business art is the step that comes after Art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art”
Above: Warhol capturing and publishing life via social media
One of the most amazing art events I went to was the Theater of the Senses. Hard to explain, but do check it out if you can, its like a living play that you are a character in. You walk alone from experience to experience in a large environment and interact with characters, sounds, lights…pretty much covering all of your senses.
Check out some of the links above and check out some of the videos and pictures below. Thanks Pittsburgh for such a great week!

OK…I am really getting into the ATV racer Pure.
Relaunching the blog I decided I would weave in some of my favorite things and at some point I will discuss in detail my favorite series of games, which is Burnout, including Burnout Revenge and Burnout Paradise.
I’ve always kept an eye out for games that had that Burnout aura. And its hard to break down, but basically that aura is a fast racing game that controls well, has variety and makes you a better racer than perhaps you are. Many of the Burnout games share those attributes.
Most racing games I have tried, PGR4, Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, etc. give a little too much detail and simulation. I just want to jump in and race. Even games like Grid which display fantastic graphics, well I am not all that into racing on a sectioned off street either.
So I have been playing Pure for several days now and its great. I have an XBox 360 and PS3 (and Wii) but I am playing on the 360 and so far the game gets a big thumbs up. Produced by Disney Interactive Studios and Blackrock Studio the game has stunning visuals with tight very responsive gameplay.
Most racing games are too loose and hard to control, or too tight like you are on the rails, but this one strikes a great balance. You can download the demo and take it for a spin. I am on the first few levels but so far it seems not too hard and not too easy, again just right. And there is a dizzying array of options to build your ATV so you can pimp stuff out very nicely.
Plus the best part of the game…its kinda wild! Like Burnout there is a real sense of edge and great sense of speed. Highly recommended.
