03:00 Sir Paul McCartney in Cincinnati last week for a concert at Great American Ball Park. Some are suggesting this might have been his last concert ever in Cincinnati.
04:23 Other bands from the 80′s in Cincinnati also last week: Journey, Foreigner, and Night Ranger. A couple days beforehand, Journey played on the Today show, sounding just as good as ever.

07:05 NMC LinkedIn group – open for discussion but beware of the community banhammer for self-promotion.
08:41 Lisa Desatnik asked about suggested for preventing spam trackbacks on her WordPress blogs. Daniel uses the Disqus commenting plugin; Matthew uses a commenting plugin that uses Facebook Connect. Try Akismet (no longer free), Bad Behavior, Spam Karma (neither of have experience with that one)

16:50 Props to Crystal Thies, the LinkedIn Black Belt Ninja, for sharing things you didn’t realize you could do in LinkedIn for Tech Tuesday at the Clermont Chamber of Commerce. Very interesting are the different applications, honors/awards, projects, custom company pages, and using Signal to search status updates.
