I spent the afternoon at the beach in Santa Barbara with my friend Manny at the California Wine Festival. The ocean was 40 feet away on one side, and the mountains and palm trees were on the other. Besides the amazing weather, there was great wine, food and conversation. Despite going through a rough patch over the last 9 months, it’s days like that where you appreciate the little things in life. I hope you have one of those days soon.

A couple months back in New York I got a chance to interview CNN’s SEO Coordinator, Topher Kohan. For those that don’t know, “SEO” stands for Search Engine Optimization. Topher’s job at CNN is to make sure that search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing can find their news stories and other content accurately when people search for them. In addition to the SEO stuff, we talked about CNN’s fabulously successful iReport program as well as the impact that social media is having on how CNN reports news.

I hadn’t realized it had been over a month since the last show. It was not my intention to go that long, but the sponsorship hasn’t played out like I’ve needed it to. I’m still hopeful that we’ll have something in the next few weeks.

That said, I wanted to give you guys SOMETHING to keep you entertained and a reason to keep coming back to the blog. In this video, I’ve brought out a dancing monkey for your viewing pleasure. Ok, well not really, but sometimes I feel like a dancing monkey.

During my career hiccup over the last couple of weeks, I’m learning the importance of having a strong local network in my hometown. It’s great to be connected nationally, but you can’t beat solid relationships with movers and shakers in your own backyard.

I also have some news about the radio show and how things stand for the foreseeable future. Sponsorship isn’t ironed out yet for Q2 and that is affecting the production of the show.
