I recently entered a video contest sponsored by Smart Technologies. http://www.smarttech.com. Smart Technologies provide cool educational technology like the SmartBoard. They were calling for people to make a promo video for them highlighting our use of Smart Board without actually mentioning the name of our school.
Every day, starting today, through Friday, please VOTE for our VIDEO! Smarttech has some pretty cool prizes for the winners of this contest. Items that my childrens’ school could really use. Here’s what we could win:
A good friend of mine, who happens to be a MAC guru, recommended that, like any other major O.S. upgrade, we hold off upgrading to Snow Leopard until we can see how it will impact our environment. This is especially true in our music, audio and video editing departments where we have a whole bunch of third party hardware supporting our various content creation and editing work-flows.

I was just thinking back to Hurricane Katrina. I remember the amazing people I met. Their stories still inspiring me today. I wanted to just post something to honor their stories as they endured the destruction wrought by this terrible storm that took place in late August, 2005. Below are posts I made to my Journal at the time during a relief effort I participated in with Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, IL and Hartland Church in Rockford, IL… It is not that I wish for people to relive this horror. I just don’t want to forget the people…I don’t remember them as victims…but as people determined to thrive again…

Alright so I’m a little slow…
Over the past several years I have used a few different blogging platforms. I am not a huge blogger. However, when I do get thoughts or ideas, and I want to write them down, I do like to have something that is flexible. A platform that allows me to be creative. After using Blogger and even Microsoft, I became a Typepad user for a number of years. Typepad was very easy to set up and it allowed me to easily add videos and images. My first exposure to WordPress was not very positive. It was not very flexible and it was cumbersome to add images.
I just wanted to take a few moments to thank those who sat in on my breakout session at this years International Shelby Conference 2009. As promised I am posting notes and from my session here.

My family and I just returned from a little vacation in Wisconsin. The weather wasn’t very good so we didn’t get to spend much time outdoors. Still, we made the most of it, spending some time shopping in town.
My wife can attest to the fact that I am not much of a shopper. However, even I enjoyed walking through the little shops that lined the streets of the small town near the cottage where we stayed.

While doing some research today I was lead to a post on http://arstechnica.com. The post highlighted a study presented by the Online Publishers Association and Nielsen/NetRatings which stated the following….
According to OPA, about 34 percent of Internet users’ time was spent reading content in 2003—at that time, content came in second to “communications,” which measured at 46 percent of Internet users’ time. However, as of May 2007, OPA reports that those numbers have practically reversed: content now commands 47 percent of Internet users’ time, and communications only 33 percent.
