We really love Dane Cook, so we were sad to find out that we missed Dane Cook Day. Apparently September 17, besides being Constitution Day (which we also kinda skipped over) and Halfway to St. Patrick's Day (which we actually did celebrate, though not with a Guinness), is now Dane Cook Day. You might ask, what does one do on Dane Cook Day? Well, we have a few ideas to get you started. You......

You can take the T to Green Street, but you can’t take your car. Well, you can take your car to the Green Street Station on the Orange Line. There’s on street parking not too far by, but please, please, don’t put your car inside the Green Street Station. After cracking down on 123 Party! and their dancing “antics” on Boylston Street the police moved down to Jamaica Plain to stop more dangerous art before......

The basics and the business wraps up today. Busy webcasters will likely retire after the reception this evening to their video camera or microphone and their favorite editing software package and put together a file they’ll enclose in a post on their blog before the sessions get up and running tomorrow. Today, April 28, is the first of two days of the Spring Podcast Academy hosted here in the Hub by Boston University College......

Saturday was a beautiful day. We haven’t forgotten it. The sun was shining, temperatures were warm, the Sox were playing at Fenway, and cantaloupes were out at Haymarket. Flowering trees, crocus, and daffodils are good indications springtime is upon us, so is the Boston Marathon and the launching of the Swan Boats in the Public Garden. As is customary, Saturday morning Menino, wife, and grandkids took the first ride in the boats for the year.......

Apparently video blogging is the hot new thing. We like video blogging we’d like to see more from the locals, we encourage folks to pick up the camera (Steve Garfield and Ravi Jain will teach ya). Creating community through vlogs is a central tenet to vlogging. Node101::Boston Media Makers meetings are working on paving streets in the new neighborhood. The group's first meeting produced ideas that people were interested in fostering, including citizen media, video......

Bostonist is a big supporter of user-created content. Every week we review local webcasts brought you you by Boston citizens, not only to entertain you but to highlight what normal people can do with a microphone or a camcorder. While we do want to empower our readers, we are also looking for new content to review and if we don't trick someone into starting a new podcast we're simply going to run out of shows......

If Steve Garfield is not making money off vloging he really should be since you need to go through the site with a fine tooth comb to find a day he did not put out a short video. Where does he find the time to do it all? It's even day time during the videos and last time Bostonist checked it was depressingly dark after work. While content volume is a good way to keep......

Fearing the worst, Bostonist stocked up on candles this weekend. The news that NStar workers were going approaching a deadlock in negotiations and were going on strike made us feel a little uneasy about the fate of our electricity. Reading the Boston Globe report on the crisis hasn’t calmed fears much: NStar spokeswoman Caroline Allen said early today, "We have qualified managers and contractors ready to step in and maintain critical services for our customers.......
