Marty McPadden and Misty Belardo-McPadden of PodJamTV recently asked me to be a guest of their Inspiring Connections Series of podcasts. I would like to thank both of them for their time to post this podcast and for the great chat after the show.
In Inspiring Connections 14: How To Experience Las Vegas Like A True Travel Insider, I shared nearly an hours worth of my top tips and insights about traveling to one of USA’s top travel destinations, Las Vegas, NV. As a local and someone who has traveled to Las Vegas from many cities, my tips and secrets on where to eat, stay and have fun should be a value to everyone, even the high rollers.

Sam Dever and Matt Dever of the Las Vegas Social Media Radio Show recently asked Bill Cody and me to be a guest on their show. Thanks to the brothers for recording the show in a professional studio at the University of Nevada Las Vegas and for taking the proper amount of time to editing everything together.
In their 16th episode, Bill and I shared insights about social media, travel and living in Las Vegas. As locals who utilized social networks like Twitter very early on, we would Tweet about our collective experiences in Las Vegas, so people would consider traveling to the city.
The second video which Sam and Matt graciously produced with us, is a few minutes about how social media played a key role in how we got the opportunity to be a part of NASA Social events around the US.
Vine, Twitter’s six-second short form video service, updated its iOS app today and released a few ways to share videos. Starting today, users who share their Vines on Twitter or Facebook, can easily embed them on the web. Before, users were required to share a Vine to Twitter first, and then embed the entire Tweet on the web, in order for the Vine to show up.
Vine describes their posts as, “little windows into the people, settings, ideas and objects that make up your life.” Today’s announcement and app update will make sharing these “little windows,” that much easier.
Visiting Northern California is always an adventure. I enjoy traveling back to places that have provided me with excellent photographic, social media and food related material. However, during this trip, I ventured over a 100 miles from home base to the Apple Inc Headquarters and the Apple Company Store in Cupertino, California.
Cupertino is a bustling city in the heart of Silicon Valley. Many startups and large multi-national corporations like Apple are located within a 20-mile radius. Travel a few miles in any direction and you might run into LinkedIn for instance, which I found totally by serendipity.
