Comments & Compliments at DCWeek

Wow, DCWeek ran like a MACHINE!  From checkin, to everything.  It was a machine.  Friendly people telling me where to go, all the AV systems worked, vendors were happy & prepared.  This was a VERY well run conference.

Free Ideas for DCWeek Companies

So DCWeek (for me) has come and gone.  Here are somethings I learned, and some ideas I gave away at the conference.

At the innovations in media panel with USA Today, The Atlantic and Curbs, I learned that none of them were actually innovating in media.  I did offer this …

Conferences (Like DCWeek) Need More Fail

So I’ve been leisurely attending a conference in DC this week called Digital Capital Week. It’s an interesting collection of all sorts of people. I’m not sure I totally fit in, but I’ve felt that way before and never let it stop me.

Weigh In, Weigh Out

Dear Whole Foods….

I think it is great that you credit me 5 cents every time I use my own bag for groceries. I also think it is awesome that you have bulk food like grain, nuts, honey and olive oils.

After Sandy I moved a tree!

Sandy wasn’t too bad to us.  I was awoken at 8:35 AM Eastern to a giant WHOMP/WHAM.  I actually thought a tree hit the house.  (Or someone slammed a door REALLY hard).  I could find evidence of neither, so I guess maybe it was something exploding somewhere else?  Still unknown.

Canon MTS Files – Magic Splitting and Concatenation

Something weird happened when I was editing some video from the HFS20.  As my system looked at the card, somehow it saw 17 minutes of video in 1 file on the SD Card.

Honeywell Air Filters – HRF What?

We’ve got a Honeywell air purifier in the house, and while the lights on the device never said it was time to change the filter, after several years, it was time to change the filter.

Cross AWESOME off the bucket list

I’ve been up north watching all the reports from my friends & hackers that went to Black Hat & DefCon.  I honestly felt sorry for them being stuck inside of a hotel or a bar in hot Las Vegas.  Why?  Because while they were sitting around one more hotel conference …
