Last week I chatted for a little over an hour with Christopher (a.k.a. @iam_spartacus) for his podcast Just Talking. It was an amazingly fun conversation as it always is with friends from the Diabetes Online Community (a.k.a. DOC). 
You can listen to the show, download the MP3 or subscribe to Just Talking on iTunes.
Thanks so much for the fun time and the opportunity to share a little bit of what we are doing at the Diabetes Hands Foundation and TuDiabetes.

Close to 500 members had joined TuDiabetes.com as of July 21, which represents a growth of almost 14% in membership.
On this video I look pretty tired. Gotta learn to do the podcasts earlier in the day!
I was researching for sites that could help me find music that I can license for free to use as part of our weekly podcasts and found ccMixter, a project of Creative Commons.
Today’s podcast will feature the hip, nu-jazzy “F.J.C. (Flaneur Jockey Club) (ft. Celio Jones (trumpet))” by TRZ.exp.
A while back, I shared with you the news of a book that was written in a collaborative fashion (with the participation of over 4,000 business innovators from around the world), to be titled “We Are Smarter Than Me“.
The book will be available in September. Having participated in some of the wikis in the early stages, I highly recommend you pre-order your copy.
In line with this, today I read on the Knowledge@Wharton Newsletter an excerpt of a podcast where one of the book’s co-authors speaks with Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist. The title of the excerpt was: “100% of What We Do Is Based on Community”. Are you surprised that this is one of the most profitable web outlets out there?

Sometimes you learn about the most interesting things in the most unconventional ways. That is how I learned today about the news of the sale of MP3/Podcast portal Odeo.com to NY-based Sonicmountain this past week for an “undisclosed sum” in excess of $1 million.
What’s the big deal, you may wonder? Purchases of these kinds of companies take place every day (most of the time, unnoticed). The big deal to me was how the original owner, Obvious Corp., announced that Odeo was up for sale. Having decided to focus on their more recent product, Twitter (which I have a bad feeling I am going to get hooked on), Obvious posted on the company blog their intention to find a new home for Odeo.
Now obviously, you don’t see things like this going on all the time because the people behind Obvious are obviously not your average “dudes” trying to offload a product to someone with big pockets. As an example, Evan Williams, the founder of Obvious happens to have been founder/CEO of Pyra Labs, the company that brought us Blogger… before they got bought by Google.
