It’s time for another 2 minute unedited video. Sorry about the glare in my glasses it’s actually kind of sunny here in Seattle today. Today’s topic is is what’s the best way to drive organizational change: Evolution or Revolution? Evolutionary Change = small, fast, iterative change that’s easier and safer to implement but harder to make stick [...]
The Flip cam was a great device - a year and a half ago. I’ve shot some of my most successful client videos on a Flip. I still use my Flip, in fact it’s what I use to shoot the video posts on this blog. Today Cisco killed their video star, but October of 2009 [...]
My HBS class had the great pleasure to hear from John Kotter today speak about Leadership and change. John Kotter started teaching at Harvard the year I was born. To say he has more experience with business and leadership than I have with life is not an exaggeration. John is incredibly passionate about his work. So much so [...]
I’m a pretty digital guy. I almost always have two, if not three phones on me, plus my 80 gig iPod along with my 17 inch work laptop and my 11 inch netbook. I get strange looks at airport security when I have 3 different x-ray bins just for my tech. And I’m often known [...]

But I have noticed that while a journalists interest in a press release has almost completely disappeared their interest in raw video is insatiable. We were recently told by a journalist that they won’t [...]
I’m working on a post with my predictions for 2010 but here’s two videos from the Seattle Social Media Breakfast that should give you a hint what I’m thinking. Many of you know that I’ve been “helping” (I use that term loosely) with the Seattle Social Media Breakfast. We had our first event this month [...]

Last week I wondered what Flip might do to fight against the inevitable release of an iPod Touch with a camera. Apparently I was too late with my recommendations. Gizmodo has the details on the new upgraded Flip. A little bigger screen, slightly better software and built in upload to Myspace and Facebook. Oh yeah [...]
