ThermaPAK HeatshiftWith Father's Day right around the corner, there are a zillion things out there to get for your favorite man of the house. One of the questions is what do you get the dad that has everything? It's always a tough one to answer.
When it comes to my "needs" for Fathers Day, I literally don't need anything. All my tech needs are met at this time, with the exception of the iPhone 4. I have two Macbooks, an iPad, cameras, video cameras, cloths, etc. I have enough stuff, to put it simply.
The newest first graderMy oldest had her kindergarten spring concert this week, which brings her first year of school to a close (well, nine days short of the actually closing).
She's grown so much over the past year. She's reading on her own. Writing things without copying the letters. She's asking a lot of questions. Overall, she's getting so big, so fast.
We're lucky that she loves school and has gone when she wasn't feeling well. She didn't want to miss anything. I hope that attitude keeps up, especially as the school-work gets harder.
First video posted to YouTubeIt took a 19-second video that consisted of a young guy talking about elephants at the zoo that kicked off a revolution that changed the way the world creates and digests video content online.
That revolution was YouTube, which officially kicked off with a video post titled, "Me at the zoo," on April 23, 2005.
While the domain name, Youtube.com, was registered on February 14, 2005, the video phenomenon kicked off five years ago today when Yakov Lapitsky posted footage of one of YouTube’s founders, Jawed Karim, at the San Diego Zoo, talking about elephants.
If you know me in any sort of way (follow me on Twitter, work with me, read my blogs, etc.) you know that I have tech issues. Big time. I always need the latest gadget (next purchase will be the iPad).
I'm constantly blogging, Tweeting, taking video, shooting pictures, etc. Basically, I'm a content machine and I like it that way. I consume and produce content 18 hours out of each day, give or take 30 mins or so.
Feds pushing hard for census participationThe federal government has been doing a pretty decent job in promoting the 2010 census. They have used a variety of on and offline marketing channels.
One of the more effective channels has been social media and specifically YouTube.
Check out this video that targets the Taiwanese population. According to the video, only 800 Taiwanese residents filled out the form — that's missing about 80 percent.
