Learnin’ and Livin’ Together with Great People and Technology
High-tech, design and media industry experts are preparing to cast votes for who will win the $1 Million Intel
® Core™ Processor Challenge this April. But here’s your chance to see and vote for your favorite top finalists in this online PC Design People’s Choice Award contest.
Fun to see this posted by a contestant who on the end of day three, has about 24 comments under his design on the voting site www.intelchallenge.com.
And here it is:
the video was the work of Philip de Vellis, who was the Internet communications director for Sherrod Brown’s 2006 Senate campaign, and who now works at Blue State Digital, a company created by members of Howard Dean’s Internet Team.
The video was posted on YouTube on March 5th under the username ParkRidge47 (Hillary Clinton was born in Park Ridge, Illinois in 1947).
In an email to techpresident.com, ParkRidge47 explained his reason for making the video:
The idea was simple and so was the execution. Make a bold statement about the Democratic primary race by culture jacking a famous commercial and replacing as few images as possible. For some people it doesn’t register, but for people familiar with the ad and the race it has obviously struck a chord.

This is a fun, matter-of-fact top ten list for understanding why blogging is the real deal. I first saw Hugh MacLeod’s work when Robert Scoble used Hughs cartoons during a PodTech breakfast presentation in Palo Alto in 2006. Robert’s slide were mostly Hugh cartoons with hardly any text by Scoble. The visual and the conversation mixed to make an inspiring impact that morning.
Here are some hightlights:
Blogs allow you to cheaply and quickly begin a smarter conversation. And once you get it going, that conversation starts bleeding out into all other areas of your business- including advertising, PR and corporate communications.
1. I’m not here to tell you about your business.
2. To me, The Cluetrain is the most important book about the internet ever written
3. Nobody cares about you4. You’ve already done “efficient”
5. The growth will come, I believe, not by yet more increased efficiencies, but by humanification
6. If corporate blogs work, it’s because they help humanify the company
7. Blogging is not about reaching a mass audience. Blogging is not about creating yet another sales channel. Blogging is about allowing “The Smarter Conversation” to happen.
8. Having a “Smarter Conversation” is not an intellectual decision. It’s a moral decision
9. Just because the conversation started out smart, doesn’t mean it stayed that way
10. A fairly comprehensive list of corporate blogs
11. Blogs are very culturally disruptive- more so than people realize.
12. “Conversation” is just a metaphor. Then again, no it’s not.
13. Here are some links to give you some food for thought:

Like CNN’s Anderson Cooper says — annoyingly — every night on CNN, “we’re keepin’ ‘em honest.” That’s what we can do now over time, thanks to open and free access to digital content. Even if Kramer didn’t do anything wrong, we can still go back in time and see what he said, check his tone and body language, and make our own decision.
This is from the broadcast industry newsletter, Shoptalk.
…from New York and Dane Hamilton at Reuters…Jim Cramer draws fire:
Stock market commentator and CNBC television host Jim Cramer has raised eyebrows after describing illegal activities used by hedge fund managers to manipulate stock prices.
In a December video interview on TheStreet.com (TSCM.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Web site, a financial news company he co-founded, Cramer described how he could push stocks higher or lower, depending on if he was long or short, at his previous job running a hedge fund.
The interview, which has only now got widespread attention after being posted to online video site YouTube, may be studied by U.S. government and stock market regulators, hedge fund experts and legal sources said.
The interview, which can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=708wDFX28lc, described methods including tactical buying, shorting or using options to create an impression in the market that could prompt other traders and investors to buy or sell a stock.
“A lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund … meaning I needed (a stock) down, I would create a level of activity beforehand that could drive the futures,” said Cramer. “It’s a fun game and it’s a lucrative game.” (more)

I’m just thrill riding the Your Media Consumption Diet conversations spurred by Jeremiah Owyang back in February.
Several of us at Intel have spent the past few months encouraging people to get more social media savvy by testing out some cooltools like newsfeed, readers, bookmarkers, trackers and measurement tools. Everyone’s super busy, so the key is to show how people can actually do more of what they love and find new ways to love it even more then easily find new and more things to love!
Below is my Media Consumption Diet, but first here is a great observation that requires a law…Jeremiah’s Law, maybe? Like Moore’s Law, Jeremiah’s Law might say that the number of people jumping to the Internet will double every month!! Eventually the the money will catch up with the eyeballs. But the Internet is the great wide open!
“What’s notable is the fact that these early adopters are engaged with media channels in inverse relationship to the amount of advertising money being spent therein. In other words, they’re spending the most time where the least amount of advertising dollars are focused….
* TV: $47 billion
* Magazines: $21 billion
* Newspapers: $20 billion
* Radio: $8 billion
* Internet: $7 billion

I come from the world of broadcast and began podcasting in 2005. I see it all coming together thanks to people getting video over the Internet. My Media Consumption Diet:
Web: I mostly use Google Personal Home Pageand Reader. My Personal Home aggregator has three tabs:
My Google Reader has about about 25 blogs and feeds, many of the same items found in the Social Media Tab of the Google Personal Homepage.
I also have a My Yahoo! account loaded with mostly news sites like CBS, BBC, CNETMy three-year subscription to WSJ Online expired and I didn’t renew (pinching pennies for the wife and kids!).
But I often type www.news.com and www.siliconvalleywatcher.com and see what grabs me.
Music: Got a video iPod in 2006 to carry all of my favorite PodTech podcasts, but now it’s loaded with Bob Marley, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Audio Slave, KanyeWest, Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, Ben Harper, CCR, Madonna, Beyonce, more. In my car, it’s CDs past and present, including Italy pop from the ’70s and Fado music from Portugal and Brazil.
TV: I cut my teeth at a local TV station in San Francisco, KRON-TV when it was an NBC affiliate owned by the SF Royal Family who owned the SF Chronicle. My role at Intel is a broadcast media relations manager. I gotta watch TV, and I enjoy it…especially because the cheese factor hits my funny bone. I always tune to CNN and local news, and enjoy seeing the networks redefine themselves every season. But my young kids are more fun and entertaining, and the TV is not on for too long on any given day.
Communication: Love my Blackberry. That’s a game changer for me. And I love Skype because it allows me to work from Italy and make every necessary meeting back in the U.S. for free! I started with Twitter in February, but I’m learning.
Movies: I was a movie festival goer for many years in San Francisco. I love movies. I can go by myself, with a group of people or watch on the plane. Love movies! But I regret that my passion has been starved more and more each year. I gotta get back to what I love! Documentaries, bio-pics, visually poetic stories and intensely scripted stories that leave you wondering for days after the movie ends.
Magazines: Subscribe to Esquire. Victoria Secret brings joy whenever it arrives. At the airport I pick up BusinessWeek and Fortune.
Books: I love philosophy past and present. I also like books about learning and better understanding self and others living in the world together. I typically have three books going at once, but I’m a slow reader who get’s interrupted often so I finish about three a year.
Newspapers: Wall Street Journal, but my hard copy subscription is coming to an end soon…and that’s it! San Francisco Chronicle, and I’ll won’t renew my subscription this summer. I love the writing in the Christian Science Monitor. And the NYT is something I grab at the airport. When it’s there, I pick up USA Today eat it up like junk food. When in NY, I must get my hands on the NY Post and Village Voice. I’m a newspaper junky to rips pages and stuffs them in my man purse until I can still a few moments to consume them uninterrupted.
This excersize shows that I’m weening off of what I’ve always loved, newspapers. My love won’t end, but my daily consumption will come from the Web and any scraps from sections people leave behind.

This is my third or forth post on Twitter. But since so many people got to enjoy the wonders of Twitter at SXSW, it seems only fitting to see what influencers are saying. I began Twitter in February, but really haven’t “got it” yet. Twittered from Italy a few times. Twittered from my cell phone. My Twitter.
Here is a great post by Jeremiah Owyang. What a knack he has for engaging and inspiring readers. No wonder he has a growing audience.
In this post, he shares some updated tools and tips in a time with Twitter is the love child of the Web 2.0/Social Media crowd following the SXSW event.
Here are some good tips on Twitter, all featured in Jeremiah’s post:
