This was one of the first Firefox add-ons that caught my eye a few months ago. Today I’m pledging to give it a better try than I did when I first downloaded it a few months ago. My blog is really about things I’m learning and interesting people I find or meet as life moves ahead.

Inside Intel — in my opinion — there’s a huge variety of people, personalities, paces and tastes, but everyone’s passionately believes they can help Intel become more innovative, relevant and meaningful to people around the world. There are many pioneers and there are many organizers and their are many supporters. The pioneers step out and try and they help break new ground. Organizers make sense of things and create strategies (and processes if possible) for mass adoption — i.e. getting more people to embrace the best of what the pioneers are finding/doing. Supporters share the fruits of all of this work with the outer edges where clients, friends and family are found. From there you can look backward to catch a glimpse of what makes up Intel culture.

Intel culture is restless and eager and sometimes bullheaded. But today there are many engines of change being driven by many new pioneers who are working to grow Intel’s culture from being soley a force of innovation to being a source of innovation that works together with others to help make great things happen for people, businesses and governments wherever they may be.

So what gives with Clipmarks? I believe it can help people more easily feed their blog with things they find and like during the day. As we move from pioneers to organizers (or settlers) of social media inside Intel, we’ll soon be encouraging all employees — and their clients, families and friends — to participate more with the information they find and the people they meet. People who aren’t blogging typically say they don’t have the time or interest. I always say give it a try and let it grow as you go. You’ll find things like Clipmarks that will jettison you to new levels and new delights, or you’ll try and discover that blogging just isn’t for you. That’s fine, too, because it’s not just about blogging, it’s about participating, commenting on news, sharing your wisdom and feelings with others.

Heck, tomorrow’s another day. I’ll start clipmarking today.

Intel Blogfather — Internet Strategiest Bryan Rhoads

Lots of great people hanging (read: drinking) and learning from each other up at Portland’s Internet Strategy Forum Summit in July. I watch from Cali as pals like Josh Bancroft helped organize folks for dinner. And folks like Intel Blogfather Bryan Rhoads was their “tapping pools of knowledge capital.” He is a great guy to learn from — big heart, good experience and great stories. Nice to hear him hook up with our PodTech pals Jeremiah and Scoble. I’ve learned so much from these guys, yet sometimes it feels like it’s just the beginning.

Bryan is Intel’s first Blogfather — they’ll be sequels — who led the first successful Intel blog pilot IT@Intel that later paved the way for a family of Intel blogs like Technology@Intel, Research@Intel and a handful of others. He has coined some of my favorite phrases like “there were pioneers, but now the settlers” are diving into social media. One of my favorites was: “One of my roles is to get out of the way” and let the bloggers do their thing. But one to live by: consensus building helps you get management to “get your back” so you can run and try things.

Watch for much more wisdom and greatness from the Blogfather staring in a new role inside Intel.

I came across this on YouTube this weekend. I think I first saw this about a year ago and I have talked about it many time ssince. It was an ad that aired in Latin American countries promoting Intel’s Centrino Mobile Technology (now Duo Processor technology) for laptops. I wish this played in America, but I guess there are so many reasons why it didn’t. Heck, maybe it can be “re-purposed” somehow! Well, I’m thankful that at least we have YouTube!!

Thanks to adavila78 for the video.

Sure it’s a little corny, but I gotta watch every twist and turn in this video. The stiff script reading almost fits perfectly the 3-D robot-like work of Second Life. But to think that you or I can build a chopper like this — or even more quad or multi-corific — inside Second Life. Get your Intel jet-pack and OCC chopper and take Easy Rider to another stratosphere! I gotta get inside.

Thanks to Millions of Us for the video.

IT Rock Anthem Videos by Director Christopher Guest

Intel IT team has the flava! As a source for great stories about how Intel technology is helping companies advance and stay on the productive cutting edge, the Intel IT team continues to try creative ways of telling and sharing their stories.

I remember attending the Intel vPro launch event in San Francisco last year. There were tons of other companies there — man of they service or software provider — talking about how they’re impressed with the new Intel hardware with baked in manageability and security. The challenge was convincing some that hardware could actually help security and manageability software — the two would work better together.

Here’s what’s been happening since the 2006 introduction — more info.

Here are some videos the IT team created with rockumentray wildman Christopher Guest from Spinal Tap fame. Here’s where today’s best built-in hardware (chips) teams up with the best software running today’s business. Together the future looks better.

The Mighty Bong!

To most inside Intel, bong is that song you hear every five seconds somewhere around the world at the end of an Intel TV or radio. Footage in this video spoof comes from a “Intel Inside Turns 10″ anniversary tape we shared with TV producers a few years ago. It was a collection of TV ads that put Pentium on the map and many people’s memories — Intel Inside. And here with this video the fun irony rings true — even Intel has tweaked the bong over the years. Every few years it has seemingly become richer, deeper, more robust.

My Intel buddy Nick visited the Folsom lab to actually see what all of the buzz was about. People who game or go heavy on graphics and video tend to pooh=pooh integrated graphics — shhh…I’m one of them. But integrated graphics are advancing — nearly everything steps to Moore’s Law at Intel, or steps up to good competition. Here’s Nick’s blog post with some comments from integrated graphics dissers and believers.
