Luckily I was able to get on to Flickr to upload all of the photos that I’ve been taking. I was ok with that. I know this may sound trite.

At the time, I was working for an organization headquartered in New York, so I traveled there frequently; as a result, I had a ton of reward points on Amtrak and various hotels.

I was at a meeting today with Robin Graf, Stacy Keen, and Nancy Daniels at their hotel, The Wyland Waikiki. What if a hotel sponsored a podcaster-in-residence? Posting 2-3 videos a week, capturing the moments, the stories, the guests, the staff – in sum the personality of the hotel. So I had this great idea!

Traditionally, people charge businesses more because there is a profit-making agenda on the table.
