Since we know you don’t have a lot of time, the Toolfarm :60 is a :60 second podcast (plus open and close) that will feature interviews, tutorials and whatever we feel like sharing. We’d love to hear your suggestions on what you’d like to see. We’ll be blasting out a bunch in the next few days that were done at NAB, but after that expect one per fortnight.

Episode 1 features a quick interview with Wes Plate of Automatic Duck, shot at NAB 09. Wes talks about Media Copy 2.0 and Automatic Duck’s new partnership with EditShare.

I looks like I’ll be there too and I am very excited. And I will not eat at any buffets this year.

To get your free pass that includes access to the exhibit floor and the opening keynote (a $150 value) go to http://nabshow.com/passport and enter this code: TP01.

If you’re NAB alumni, I’ve also received the code DM01 for a free Alumni Exhibits passport.
