It’s been one month since I officially started at Pulver.com. In this time, I have touched in one form or another, Video On the Net, a premier conference about the impact of ubiquitous broadband internet on the future of TV and film. I have hijacked Network2 as something exciting to work on and build. I’ve attended the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, the Starfish and the Spider book signing, the Halloween Vlogfest 2006, and will attend the Vloggies the day after tomorrow.
I’ve met or spoken with several dozen luminaries in the corporate world of media and entertainment, and it’s part of my regular gig to meet with the people I’ve idolized for the last year.
I’m midway through making my own TV studio, and I’ve got some swell plans for making new internet TV shows in 2007. I’m paid to do what I used to do at 2AM (no, not eat peanut butter).
I have or will shortly have traveled to New York City, Long Island, L.A., San Francisco, Pittsburgh, and Connecticut. In 2007, I’ll visit Sweden, Germany, and Israel (so far), not to mention more trips to NY, LA, and places in between.
It’s not a traditional job. There aren’t traditional hours. I’m working harder than I’ve ever worked before in my life, because there aren’t so many boundaries, but there are lots of ways to slip off the edge. I *always* have more to do than I have time to get it done (was I saying this 3 months ago about my day job? No!). I’m doing lots of things on the fly, from building websites in html to learning how to set my videocamera so that it doesn’t record in 16:9.
And of course, I’ve met tons of friends. I’m still riding high on everyone that I met from PodCamp, so it’s surprising and exciting to me that I’m having all this fun. I tell you this. I’m loving getting the chance to spend time with my friends, or at the very worst, talk with them on the phone, through email and IM, or however we get in touch.
It’s challenging, but in the best of ways.
And wait’ll you see what’s NEXT! It just keeps getting crazier. Stick around, will you?
