someone should really call the Power Point Protective Services and have this dude brought into custody for such willfully hurtful treatment of a presentation system. but seriously, I just wanted to show you a few minutes of the social networking "penetration" presentation I saw yesterday here at the Forbes Internet Leadership Forum (for a select group of 'leading' American marketing and ad execs). very interesting in showing what they do and don't understand, and how they want to buy into 2.0.oh, penetration. how you vex me.
a quick underwater video of a crab fleeing underwater paparazzi after ditching rehab. the crackling sound is the sound of living coral -- I'm so happy the Cybershot retained audio inside the sports case.
thinking about Cancun, in the pool. uploading at dusk by the pool right now, still in a wet bathing suit. interesting how no matter where I go, the context of my past is always with me.
this is a huge file; the panel is 45 minutes long. the panel, for Fobres' leading industry advertising and marketing execs, was just over about an hour ago, included myself, Rich Jenkins (Editor-in-Chief MSN Money), Greg Bartalos (Asst. Managing Editor Yahoo! Finance), Robert Scoble and was moderated by Paul Maidment. this was shot from the back of the room and is pretty shaky, but if you're really interested in what we said (and the questions we got from *very* traditional media marketing execs), have a listen. some people in the audence expressed to me after they were disappointed that I was cut off at one point (as was I), but I think I got to say some good things. I mean, these people never have contact with people like me. so hopefully I got to represent my communites and our values. though it was a room where earlier attendees had expressed (seperately) that they think blogging is just a trend, and that user-generated content is a fad that will pass. I told them what I thought. these people self-disclosed that they have private planes. I just wish I'd had a chance to tell them where to put their pre-rolls. w3rd.
just shot this quick video getting coffee in Cancun, where I'm speaking as a "web disrupter" for the Forbes Internet Leadership Conference 2007. it's so surreal; I coulod never afford this and am still bewildered that I'm doing this. still snarky, though ;)
a little video of packing and procrastinating packing for tomorrow's flight to Mexico, where I'll be speaking on the "Web Disrupters" panel for the Forbes Internet Leadership Forum.
another weekend wrapup with footage of the Extra Action Marching Band (and sexy flag team dancers), a summary of my oral sex lecture at SFSI and I conduct an *explosive* demonstration showing why you should never use Crisco as sexual lubricant.
woke up depressed; got inspired by "what it's like for a girl", made a very special video for day 10 of videobloggingweek 2007.it was a victimless crime.music by lenlow.
in my kitchen making a hot toddy, explaining why videoblogging week isn't over, and my dataming plans for the weekend.the wish you were here to share it hot toddy:juice of one lemonoverflowing tablespoon of local honeyshot and a half of whiskeyboiling waterserve in your lucky and/or favorite mug
in Austin, Texas for SXSW I happened upon a building demolition with my new videocamera, and shot this video in two parts -- it's not terribly exciting, unless you like twisted wreckage and industrial equipment (like I do). I put photos of the concrete carnage on my Flickr stream and a local commented with an explanation, saying, "Intel started building this as a design center during the boom. When the crash happened, it was abandoned and stood as a reminder of the crash, uninhabited, for years. Recently, the gov't bought it to build a courthouse and it was imploded."
this is a SXSW leftover -- shot with my camera from the audience, the tiniest snippet from the panel. it's not anything to blog home about, but I can't just throw it away... me chatting with Nate Pagel, yay!
I got a tour of stockroom.com (really NSFW) friday afternoon, and convinced Chris Kalev, their purchasing manager, to demonstrate an electrified single-tail whip (violet wand powered) for me. video is totally SFW.
Last night I went to the GayVN's at San Francisco's Castro Theatre. This ten-year anniversary of the event -- the 'gay porn oscars' -- was in SF for the first time ever. It was packed; like 3000 men and five women in the house. One of those women was comedienne Kathy Griffin: this is a short video of celebrated drag queen and porn director Chi Chi LaRue introducing Griffin to a standing ovation.
Kink.com had a housewarming party for friends and family at the SF Armory last night and I shot a couple videos. here, I just arrived and am showing you the main building, from above.
Kink.com had a housewarming party for friends and family at the SF Armory last night and I shot a couple videos. this one is very dark and not visually exciting, but in it I walk through the shooting range while the party is going on several floors above me. the shooting range is below ground level and Mission Creek runs through it -- literally. the Armory is almost 100 years old.
