This weekend I’m hoping to make it to PodCamp West. Its an UnConference-style meeting for anyone interested in new media and wants to learn and share new ideas, best practices, and general knowledge about podcasting and video blogging.
What I’m hoping to get out of it is to learn the best ways to record and edit audio, hence making decent podcasts. That includes learning about which equipment and applications to use.
My co-worker George Lechuk is missing. He was last seen on Friday evening, November 3rd, by his roomate. His last contact with his employer was via email at around 2:30pm of the same day. His cell phone has been turned off since that time too. His car was found at Point Reyes National Seashore. It had been there since Saturday, November 4th.
A search of the park was made by park rangers by foot, helicopter, horses, and ATVs on Wednesday, November 8th. No sign of George was found and the park rangers believe that he is not in the park.
George lives and works in San Jose.
If you have any information that may help locate George, please contact Detective Jamil Carter at the Missing Persons department of the San Jose Police Department at 408-277-4786. Case number 063120488
This photo of him was taken at LinuxWorld 2006 in San Francisco.
