Episode 109 has come and gone, but oh, what a fun time we had. Conversations with DetroitSportsRag.com about some chaos we had in common, Michipreneur about their new platform for startups, and Savvy Kids Consignment about their upcoming sale event got woven in with the usual smatterings of news, pop culture, and of course talk about our impending Pink Slip Party event this Thursday… Michipreneur can be found at: http://www.michipreneur.com/ Savvy Kids Consignment is at: https://www.facebook.co...

So we got brave and dove through the traffic and chaos of Arts, Beats and Eats to get to the back room of the Blackfinn for episode 108 of our weekly live podcast. We were joined by Morgan, the organizer of Youmacon, as well as a few of our fellow Podcast Detroit shows to talk about what they have going on, what their shows are like, and why you may want to check them out as well… Everything you want to know about Youmacon can be found at www.Youmacon.com.

Episode 107 of our weekly live broadcast was an awesome combination of repeat guests and first-timers as we talked DevOps, career transition, an upcoming iOS developer bootcamp, the politics of networking groups and more… From our usual discussions about the latest news, events and information that have caught our eye out to our upcoming Pink Slip Party, our first segment was the usual round robin of conversation and topics. For segment two, we dove in with Jamie and Brian to talk about the up...

For the first time since we moved to the new studio, we weren’t completely overbooked and insanely packed with guests last night, which was a nice change of pace and allowed us to have some great conversations with Natalia from VizBe and Alexas from TEKSystems… VizBe is a company that’s put together software to create electronic-based vision boards to help you achieve your goals by staying focused, being able to visualize what it is that you’re working for and more. We were lucky enough to get ...

Another week, another great episode full of conversations with guests doing great things in and around the metro Detroit area. This time we were joined by Bamboo Detroit to talk about their co-working space downtown and an impending expansion, Newmind Group to talk about an event in September that they’re putting on along with their core offerings, and Andrea from the Pontiac Public School District talking about technology in the world of public schools and her search for advice and help with a ...

As with everything that we do, this has evolved over the years. Because we don’t believe in revisionist history, you can always still find the original version over at http://www.ITintheD.com/68/the-ten-commandments-of-networking/ if you’re so inclined…but this version’s been updated. Why? Because it needed to be. It’s been two and a half years since that first version was written, and things have changed since then. We’ve also been doing some speaking engagements using this as the foundation ...

Episode 104 is in the history books, and we had a pretty decent set of conversations with our guests for the night about everything from secure storage, cloud vs local hosting, the information technology job market here in the metro Detroit area and this weekend’s Windsor Comic Con happening across the river that you might want to check out… From how deleting your browsing history can get you nailed with an obstruction of justice charge to the ridiculous scariness of people in Colorado dying fr...

No two ways about it, episode 103 of our live weekly podcast was a lot of fun. With our guests from The Darton Group as well as VoxVii / The Rack Show, we had no shortage of laughter, fun, and even some interesting viewpoints on the metro Detroit information technology scene, the local employment market, what people might want/need to do a little more of during their job search and more. More importantly, we managed to pull off our show even though we’d had a Podcast Detroit open house for sever...

Episode 102 of our weekly live podcast is in the rear view mirror now, and even though we lost TEKSystems due to an illness, we had some seriously great conversations with our guests from Comcast and SecurityMentor. We also got some information out about our new podcast network that launched last week, our upcoming events, what’s going on with Comcast these days, how to best get people engaged about security in a way that matters, a whole variety of security related topics and stories illustrati...

Despite the fact that we were completely exhausted from the activities starting Thursday and running through the weekend, our broadcast of Episode 101 of our live weekly podcast with Startup Weekend Detroit and Lawn Guru came together nicely with some great conversations, some information about our upcoming events, what our guests have going on in the area and more… As per usual, we started things off by talking the events of the past week that have caught our attention. From our event this pas...

Wow. Just…wow. Ever had a conversation with a guy who compromised bank security…in Beirut? How about someone who’s managed to compromise physical security all over the world…just because scanning and getting into servers is…too boringly easy? Know anything about a group that’s out there dedicated to teaching kids about computer security in a way they’ll actually want to learn? Read and listen on, friends…read and listen on… We were asked to head down to Wayne State University to hang out at...

Episode 100: the night of bad puns, occupancy code violations, Bob being rendered speechless, mayhem with puppets and so, so much more. Had a really great night for episode 100 of our live weekly podcast, and with a room full of lively guests, we definitely didn’t have a lack of topics, voices, opinions or laughter for the occasion… We were joined by our guests Mark Larson from Falling Down Beer Company, David Lingholm and Garlin Gilchrest II from the city of Detroit, Karen Hubbard from The Cor...

We had some great guests in-studio with us for episode 99 of our weekly live podcast, with the conversation going from IT security and risk management all the way out to the maker-based economy, some cool charitable organizations you can get involved with to help others, and tons more.

We had a pretty full house for episode 98 of our weekly live podcast. With Hatch Detroit in to talk about their $50,000 contest for the third year in a row to what Rocket Fiber has going on downtown and into the world of things downtown and a little mayhem with the Daily Detroit crew and some insight from Andrew The Man Expert that had us all rolling and unable to recover, it was just simply a blast of a night… The latest news and events that caught our attention, as well as our own event on We...

IT in the D was pleased to be a part of Social Media Day Detroit on Friday, June 26. Listen to the opening panel discussion during the VIP reception…which was originally supposed to be about new ways to use technology to solve some problems in Detroit, but wound up being a deeper discussion about what those problems are and how they impact people’s lives… Some great folks were on the panel including: Guests of Honor: David Anderson, CoFounder at Bamboo Detroit Piper Carter, CoFounder at Detr...

Episode 97 saw us joined by Sola Obayan of SMAMi.org to talk Social Media Day Detroit, Matt Roush to talk about the Engineering Society of Detroit and his own Tech Century tech blog, and Mike Brennan to talk about the latest goings on with MITechNews, and a whole lot more. From cyber-bullying to social media best practices, this episode was a ton of fun… As always, things kicked off with our take on the news, stories and events that caught our eye over the past week. We also took care of some o...

Even widespread power outages couldn’t stop Episode 96 of our weekly live podcast from happening. We lost one guest due to the reschedule due to travel commitments, but we were joined by some really great guests for some fun discussions about everything from best practices with making and using video, an event next week that you should check out, a new dry cleaning service that’ll pick up and deliver not just for you but for companies as well, as well as some stories and items around the city… ...

Episode 95…and on our fifth episode from the new studio, we had a pretty packed room with guests covering all sorts of topics. Open data in the city of Detroit and an upcoming hackathon to find better ways to use it. Updates from our friends at Detroit Beer Press about their latest issue. A check in nearly two years later with Batch Brewing Company on how things are going downtown. A look at the state of the Detroit tech scene from the eyes of someone still in school and breaking into the indust...

The 90s continue as we hit episode 94 of our live weekly broadcast. We were joined by Major General Amy Courter of Youngsoft (and, obviously, the military), Emily Alber of Mack Avenue Media, and Jeremiah from Daily Detroit. A great show, filled with some good information, some laughs, and the usual mayhem you’ve come to expect… The first segment, as always, kicked off with the week’s stories, news and events that happened to catch our eyes. From the IRS hack that’s left hundreds of thousands...

Our third episode from the new studio is in the rear view mirror, and it marked the return of two very important things: beer from Falling Down Beer Company and the cheesy hotel front desk bell, both of which we’ve missed terribly. Joined by our guests from Social Coop Media, Long Neck Strangler and Mess Bucket Comics, we covered a whole gamut of topics for your listening pleasure… We originally had a couple of other guests scheduled for tonight’s broadcast, but whacky mayhem ensued and so we ...

Episode 92, our second broadcast from the new studio, is live and ready to make you laugh at our exhaustion and ridiculousness. We were joined by our friends from Motor City Geek and Mess Bucket Comics to talk about our collective experiences at Motor City Comic Con this past weekend and more. So listen in as we kick off with our 1992 flavored intro and get rolling… Joined by Austin and Rob from Motor City Geek, Dom from Mess Bucket Comics and our new regular Nuri, we settled in and got rollin...

The first episode of our weekly live broadcast from our new studio is ready to invade your ears. We talked connected car, mobility, Motor City Comic Con, the latest issue of Detroit Beer Press and more with our guests for this momentous night… We were joined by our guests from Mobile Comply (Elaina Farnsworth), Detroit Beer Press (Ian Burk), and our friends Nuri Gocay and Katie Marrosso to round things out. Our 1991 themed intro came to a close, and we went live. Naturally, we spent most of ...

With all of the chaos and excitement going on with our new studio, this one took a little bit to get out. Our apologies about that, but episode 90 marks a major milestone for us, and so we hope you enjoy it. Self.Conference, women in technology, making a career change into I.T. …all that and more. Episode 90 was a major milestone because it’s the last time we’re broadcasting from the Raw Radio X studio…starting this coming Monday night (May 11), we’ll be broadcasting out of our own studio, and ...

Well…we’ve had smoother running episodes, that’s for sure…but Episode 89 of our live weekly broadcast is in the books. We were plagued by technical difficulties this time around for some reason, so please excuse some of the rough cuts during conversations. We did the best we could getting everything cleaned up as best as we could for our guests from Pure Storage and Nuri from Penguicon. We lost two entire segments, managed to talk Nuri into hanging out to try another run at segment three that c...
