After all the audio interviews from the 2006 Technology in the Arts conference have been published, CAMT will continue its podcast as a series of arts/technology discussions and interviews. Jason Hansen, Carnegie Mellon IT professor and a former CAMT developer, will join me as co-host, and we plan to speak with artists, arts managers and tech professionals from all over the country about their work and interesting trends in the field. Today we discussed Windows Vista, Microsoft's new operating system set for consumer release next month, with MS account technology specialist Ian Lindsay. Lindsay explained what organizations interested in upgrading to Vista should know and how much they should expect to spend.

Our two-part interview with Lindsay will be released to our podcast feed in a couple weeks. For now, enjoy our most recent podcast update, featuring my interviews with state arts agency representatives Philip Horn (PA Council on the Arts) and Carla Dunlap (MD State Arts Council).
