This long dormant blog has be haunting me. I started this blog in 2005, and had a good run at posting - but soon found myself not putting posts out into the Internet ether. I continued to read sevearal blogs daily though - many of which I put on the sidebars here about 6 months ago.My New Year's resoultion is to blog more. Why? Two reasons. First, it engages me in a conversation with others who

I finally decided to try my hand at videoblogging. To view my first videoblog post - you can click here or on the photo to the right. It's a short 42 second Windows Media clip (.wmv file format). This was more of a "proof of concept" experiment for me, and I wanted to understand first-hand how easily it could be done. Below is a description of how the final video was created and then

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending the 100-year celebration of Clingstone, the "House on the Rock" in Jamestown, Rhode Island - which is near Newport in Narragansett Bay (note: this house is literally on a rock in the middle of the bay).Thank you to Henry Wood (Boston architect) who's the current owner and the primary cheerleader for the house's restoration over the past 40+

Yesterday evening was filled with one of those rare experiences when you feel a real sense of community amongst people at the start of something potentially big. I had the opportunity to attend Vloggercue 2005 at a loft apartment in Hoboken, NJ with 30+ attendees (vloggers, technologists, and others). It was a blast. The Vloggercue site has a listing of those who were planning to attend. (See my

I've been a regular reader of Jay Cross' Internet Time Blog for a number of months now, and he continues to lead me to interesting ideas, people, and resources (further info on Jay Cross). I wanted to share two people/resources from a recent post on "Infinite Games" that intrigued me quite a bit.Jay writes about Bill Veltrop, who's the founder of TheInfiniteGames.org , and quotes from a book

You say you want a revolution: Yesterday evening I attended a workshop @ the Apple store in SoHo NYC , where there were a series of video bloggers (vloggers) who spoke - they dubbed it Vlog SoHo (click on the link in this post's title or to the left for a list of the speakers and links to some of their sites).For those unfamiliar with Vlogging, this is from the event's web-site: Videoblogging is

Steve Jobs gave the commencement address @ Stanford this past week and he ended with these parting words of wisdom from the Whole Earth Catalog - "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." He also shared 3 stories about events that helped to shape him, and I found these to be very interesting.A buddy of mine had e-mailed the text of Jobs' speech to me. I then found the link in this post's title while reading

On Wednesday, I attended the E-Learning Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting for ASTD NY and saw a demo of an approach being used by Target to train supervisors on how to coach cashiers. The link in this post's title is a presentation related to that application (note: unfortunately, the link is now dead), and given by David Guralnick of Kaleidoscope Learning (from a 2003 ASTD conference).

Life has been hectic the last week. Moving apartments (even within the same building) can be lots of work. So that's kept me away from blogging as much as I'd like. Plus, my DSL line may not be up for another week or so. More posts to come soon.....

This simple phrase was uttered by one of my good friends yesterday, as we discussed day-to-day issues in our respective lives. He has a knack for coming up with great phrases that sum up insightful thoughts.I was struck by his latest quip this morning, as I read an article entitled, The Power of Design, from the June '05 issue of Fast Company (via elearningpost).From the article: "Look around you

An interesting report from tonight's News Hour w/ Jim Leher on PBS (one of my favorite programs on TV). Excerpt from beginning of segment:...."an MRI of the human brain, cross-sectional images right through to the mind's deep core to see what's cooking inside -- cooking not in sickness, but in health. This animation is a composite of normal brains made at UCLA's Laboratory of Neural Imaging, one

From the May '05 issue of Fast Company. This article popped up in many places on the web last week - thought it was an interesting read. Excerpt from the beginning of the article:"All leadership comes down to this: changing people's behavior. Why is that so damn hard? Science offers some surprising new answers -- and ways to do better.......What if you were given [a] choice?......we're talking

An excellent list of new services for publishing/distributing video and films over the Internet (via Robin Good). I cannot agree more that there is radical innovation coming to this area.Won't it be interesting if "the masses" are given tools to "write" and "read" via the language of video/film as easily as we now use word-processors and e-mail?How many of us write by long-hand anymore? Sure it's
