Gordon’s Commencement podcasts highlighted on iTunes U Music Store main page

So, there I was, sitting on the iTunes U panel at the CCCU Tech Conference, explaining the process of how a school can be chosen by Apple to be highlighted on the main iTunes U Music store home page.

Someone in the audience pipes up, “Gordon is on there…”

“That’s news to me,” I said, turning around to see the image projected on the screen behind me. Sure enough, there we were under the ‘Commencement 2008′ section.

Thank you, Rick Warren!

UPDATE: Apple made some changes to the default configuration of the iTunes U store main page yesterday, and we are now no longer highlighted

Geeks, Gondolas and Grizzlies, oh my…

The view from 3,700 feet above Vancouver, high atop Grouse Mountain

I am currently attending the CCCU Joint Conference on Technology and Finance, being held in Vancouver, British Columbia.

We took a break from our regular sessions and speaking only in acronyms (CMS, ERP, SIS, CFO) and spent the afternoon on Grouse Mountain overlooking Vancouver. We saw some grizzlies, were entertained by honest-to-goodness lumberjacks, and had a great meal in the restaurant with a view of the Vancouver skyline.

Tomorrow it is back to adding ‘2.0′ to the end of the names of things and thinking it’s clever.
