Blog Experiment: Video Blog-Casting

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Notice I didn't call it podcasting? I'm not sure I want to set up a special feed for video subscriptions, but I am thinking about adding more video to the mix. The challenge: I'm itchy about the visual piece of video. I think the visual element- even a talking head-- draws ...

Pan-Mass Challenge Fundraising and Training Update

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I have been keeping up (mostly) with my Pan-Mass Challenge training, but have been a bit slow in editing videos (you're welcome). The reason? I got a new Flip Ultra HD, which will result in much clearer photos, but also necessitated new editing software. This short bit from an ...

Pan-Mass Challenge Update- Back in the Saddle!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Spring has arrived in New England, and with it the promise of occasional days warm enough to venture out on a bicycle. For me, that means starting the outdoor training for the Pan-Mass Challenge (please sponsor me by clicking here), a two-day ride across Massachusetts that raises money for ...

Do We Need Video as a Communications Tool? Bizarro Edition

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

This week, Media Bullseye published an article I wrote titled "Do We Need Video as a Communications Tool?" While far from comprehensive, the article has generated some response (mostly private as of this writing, rather than in comments). You can read the article over at Media Bullseye, but in essence ...

Snowy Commute redux

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Today, we had ample warning of a major snowstorm in the Boston area. A lot of people, remembering the horrid commute of last December 13, telecommuted or made plans to flee the office early and beat the storm. In fact, here is some video I did during my four-hour commute Dec. ...

Super Tuesday- My morning at the polls

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Here's a bit from my vote today in the Super Tuesday primary in Precinct 1, Newton, MA. I thought I would give a little "slice of the process" and see how it came out. It was a real pleasure speaking with the volunteers; sorry Hillary supporters, but where were your ...
