If you can make a trip to the Bay area on September 24 and 25, Webzine 2005 is shaping up to be quite an event. The featured speaker is Jacob Applebaum, the guy who went to Iraq and blogged about his trip, making recommendations along the way for anyone else wanting to make a similar visit. I don't care what your politics happen to be, that puts him in a rather unique position. The event is geared toward anyone with an interest in personal publishing of the text, video or audio varieties. I'm making a road trip down to San Francisco, although gas prices are starting to make flying look affordable. At a mere $20 it's a great opportunity to meet people who are actively working on podcasts, video blogs and various text publications while potentially learning something or getting a great new idea along the way.
