Update to all and the 24 Hour Friday Morning Report Marathon

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:19:28 -0800

To my faithful listeners and supportors of the Friday Morning Report, to my friends, family and co-workers and fellow community members.

Regardless that due to an unforseen medical emergency that has me laid up in a hospital now (going on 7 days) I wish to report that we've made it almost completely to the $2000 goal set forth. My access is extremely limited but last I was able to tell we were sitting a mere $99 away and based on my emails I've received that will be easily achieved once I am back on my feet and able to reschedule the show. This delay, and that is all it is, is just a small hiccup on the road of life!

Of course there will be some of you, yes you know who you are who will think I elaborately staged this just so I'd have an interesting story tell about doctors or wait it was about blonde nurses I think you said ;-)

With this small message that I believe is being rebroadcasted by my fellow eGeeks http://enterprisegeeks.com I want to say I am fine, and pushing hard to get on my feet and out of here. My family has lots of support and are managing very well which makes this easier as well.

Your thoughts and well wishes are heard and well received - Thank you!

24 Hour Marathon for "Doctors without Borders"

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:47:02 -0800

Myself and many others in my social and work circles spend endless amounts of time working and taking care of what we consider to be important activities in our lives. We are all dedicated, respectable and good hearted people. I applaud my friends and co-workers for their efforts day in and day out, having a family and successful careers in this day and age are not an easy task and many on top of that give of themselves daily to help others less fortunate.

For 2009, I decided that it was time I took another step, over the years I have always given time and money to certain activities local to my community to help but recently it has been reduced to simply "money" it became easy to just enter my credit card info or reach into my pocket and pull out some change or bills to drop in a bucket. Now though I have decided that I will start checking locally for some ways I can help my community more with my own two hands and I very much want to put some of the energy that I use for my various online activities behind helping another group of professionals who spend enormous amounts of their time and energy doing amazing work all around the world.

Starting 2009 off with a thought!

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:25:15 -0800

I decided to go ahead and do a small video, I seem to be moving more and more in that direction these days with my show, Friday Morning Report so I figured why not kick off my blogging here for this year with a small video as well.

The video is a look back at some of the professional/semi-professional things to happen to me during the 2008 year as well as what I think will be very dominant in the upcoming 2009 year now.

OK so 2008 here we go, some links to show my highlights, things of interest and importance.

Beyond that I honestly could go on for hours about friends, family, my books, my kids, the list is simply endless but those I will save for me ;-) and for all of you I will simply say I hope your 2009 is half as good as mine looks because my looks amazing!

So 2009, what do I think of 2009? I think we are in for a real awakening of technologies and their uses. As many sit back and fret over the financial situation I see this as an excellent opportunity for companies as well as individuals to make use of the tremendous amount of technology already in place to make working virtually very easy. I've been a virtual worker now since 2005 and although there are aspects of not being in an office that are missed the benefits to both me, my family and the environment far outweigh them!

2009 I think will be the year that we start to use more and more of these tools, such as Veodia to work, collaborate and communicate across the globe.

Library of Congress and Crowdsourcing

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 05:03:58 -0800

While enjoying my vacation I came across this interesting little read about how the Library of Congress is now offering some of their photo collections online via Flickr. Being a big fan of flickr this was a plus but after more thought I realized that at $24.95 a year for a pro account plus the multitude of services offered through flickr (many I use) this has got to be a major savings or?

"Offering historical photograph collections through Flickr gives the Library of Congress a welcome opportunity to share some of our most popular images with a new visual community.

We invite you to tag and comment on the photos, and we also welcome identifying information--many of these old photos came to us with scanty descriptions!"

(Via Library of Congress Photos on Flickr (Prints and Photographs Reading Room, Library of Congress).)

The other great thing was the simple fact they are inviting the community to help enhance the details available with the photos. Several have some great notes already, like this interesting panoramic one.

They even have a FAQ set up around the topic.

"Q: Why is the Library placing pictures on Flickr?
