PREVIEW: Books & Braun (Recorded LIVE at World Fantasy 2009)
Recorded before a live audience at World Fantasy Convention and produced at Imagine That! Studios, award-winning podcaster and award-nominated author Philippa Ballantine and I unveiled (with the blessings of our literary agent) a work-in-progress now working its way through submissions: Books & Braun, a Steampunk take on The Avengers. This is the first time that we have revealed to the public any selections from the work, and our plan is to eventually podcast it in this fashion: Pip and I supplying the character’s respective point-of-view, production elements, a musical score, and artwork featured by Carrie Seidman. We hope you enjoy this listen at what we have cooking in the creative kitchen.

From the “Microsoft, What Were You Thinking?!” Files…
After the Seinfeld-Gates marketing debacle, I didn’t think Microsoft could make anything more awkward than those ill-executed commercials.
I was so very, very wrong.
First, a disclaimer: As you may know, I am a Mac user. I make no apologies or smoke screen my love (on some days, reluctant) for the Apple. I want to make it clear that I’m not criticizing (in any way) Windows 7. So far, I have heard nothing but positive buzz about what it is promising.
My review (or rant, whichever you prefer) is about Windows 7 Launch Parties, the latest marketing effort from Microsoft. Their tutorial, “Hosting Your Party”, makes Battlefield Earth look like Lord of the Rings, and begs the question “Does Microsoft thrive on ridicule?” Read the rest of this entry »

The Golden Unicorn: Do Social Media Jobs Really Exist?
Is there such a thing as a full time job in Social Media? Of course, there are many job listings out there calling for it, and for those of you who are also following me on TeeMorris.com, you know that an influence on my posts and podcasts here growing further and further off can be attributed to my new position at Intersections in Chantilly, Virginia. I intend to address this lifestyle change in a later post; but for now, I’d like to take a moment to look closer at this elusive brass ring: the full time Social Media gig.
Many listings tend to make Social Media part of another position. Public Relations Manager. Communications Manager. Marketing Manager. This insinuates that Social Media, while important, could not really be that time consuming. Such insinuation you also get from employers looking for experienced Social Media producers, offering their available positions as internships.
The internships don’t bother me as much as the businesses looking for Social Media Gurus, Oracles, and (no kidding) Buckaroos.

Radio New Zealand: “It’s All Geek to Me” (Part II)
With special thanks to Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, for making this interview happen, here is Part Two of my morning at Radio New Zealand and Chris Laidlaw of Sunday Morning. On the “National Public Radio” for the Land of the Long White Cloud, Chris and I focus a bit on Twitter and Facebook and we discuss when “so much information” is “too much information.”

Part Three (and maybe some pre-interview banter) will becoming shortly. Feel free to share this video, and provide feedback or topics you’d like to hear discussed on In Your Right Mind at 703.791.1701, tmorris (at) imaginethatstudios (dot) com, on Twitter, or here at Imagine That!

Radio New Zealand: “It’s All Geek to Me” (Part I)
Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, introduced me to Radio New Zealand who, in turn, introduced me to Chris Laidlaw of Sunday Morning. RNZ is the “National Public Radio” for the Land of the Long White Cloud, and Chris opened his mics up for me to talk about being geek, the impact of podcasting, and a few things concerning Twitter.
This was a fun interview; and while you can find the audio here, Imagine That! presents (with gracious permission from RNZ) an exclusive video of our morning in Wellington, NZ.
Part Two (and maybe some pre-interview banter) will becoming shortly. Feel free to share this video, and provide feedback or topics you’d like to hear discussed on In Your Right Mind at 703.791.1701, tmorris (at) imaginethatstudios (dot) com, on Twitter, or here at Imagine That!

In Your Right Mind: Episode #0
As mentioned in my previous blogpost and throughout the week on Twitter, I have been working on something special for 2009, something new from Imagine That! to herald an exciting new year of possibilities and opportunities…
Well, here it is!
Welcome to the beginning of the latest podcast project from Tee Morris. In Your Right Mind, officially launching on Tuesday, January 6, in celebration of the Social Media Jungle and CES 2009, is your monthly ten-minute visit to the right side of my brain. Along with the content featured here, In Your Right Mind will feature creative solutions for the workplace. I am very excited about this podcast, and after Tuesday’s launch, I hope you will be, too.
INTERVIEW: All a Twitter (and Social Media) on Breakthrough Business
Meet Michele Price. She queried me before I tweeted!
Michele is the host of Breakthrough Business, and on her BlogTalkRadio show we talk about Twitter, about my job at Intersections Inc (which you will find out more later on this blog), and about approaches that go against the grain of the marketing books. We talk about how “old school marketing” just doesn’t work with Social Media, and how businesses need to understand that Twitter (and Social Media, on a whole) is about people.
We had a blast on this interview, and there are more slated for the month. Keep an eye on my RSS feed for more!
