Google Glass

Earlier this week, I got to try out Google Glass, and I’m totally amazed by what Glass can do. No word yet on when Glass will be available to the public, but the sooner the better as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully, it will come in a version that allows prescription lenses.

At “Music Partnerships on the Web: Workshop Hosted by YouTube,” a session at the Chicago Music Summit a few weeks ago, Zofia Bajkowska, Manager of Music Content Partnerships, called YouTube “the world’s biggest stage” and showed attendees how they could create their best content and engage their audience.

Chicago Music Summit

Chicago Music Summit

I attended the first-ever Chicago Music Summit last week, and I’m busier than ever doing all the things I learned there. Three sessions were more than worthy of mention:

  • Music Partnerships on the Web: Workshop Hosted by YouTube
  • Website Demolition Derby
  • Album Release Strategies for the 21st Century

Great event—and free! I’m glad I took the day off from work to attend, and I look forward to doing the same next year.
