My daughter, Caitlyn, and I are packing today in preparation for a 13-hour drive tomorrow with about 40 middle-schooler and adult leaders heading to Splash Camp.

The camp is a six-day combination of Christian worship, fun and unexpected growth through challenges. What challenges? Last year we had to use teamwork to get through a challenge course. My daughter had to overcome her dislike for touching fish when she happened to catch the largest walleye in the area up to that point (see picture).

So no blogging until we get back. I may try to Tweet a little (@commakazi) and update my Facebook page via mobile phone. But maybe not—we’re supposed to be leaving the technology behind. I need the phone so that parents can reach me or their kids in an emergency.

My “day job” and some volunteer work have kept me pretty busy lately.

I was able to record an interview with Bob Freer, Infoble VP business development, and Julie Baron, Principal at Communication Works, an Arlington Heights, IL, communications strategist.

Why would a company pay Infoble (http://infoble.com) to create and/or manage the distribution and tracking of podcasts? Because Infoble can overcome many of the barriers facing corporate podcasts, including bandwidth, information security, measurement of ROI, searchable archived content and more.

Earlier this week, I joined two other members of IABC’s Social Responsibility Committee in an interview for the IABC Cafe2Go podcast. Shel Holtz, ABC, led us through a discussion regarding a new website, SR LINK, that is a resource for people interested in communicating about social responsibility.

In this 15-minute interview, Carrie Mamantov, Michaela Hayes and I discuss the goals for the site, the effort that went into launching it and how it is being received to-date.
