LinkedIn -- Pick Me!

Because I am committed to try EVERYTHING L2W2 during this summer of discovery, I signed up for LinkedIn, and filled in what amounts to an online resume on steroids. And then I got to the part about "Ask for Recommendations." Isn't that something people would ask for if they are looking for a job, or are selling some service or product? That's not me, but still wanting to go along with the exercise, I sent out the message asking my buds for recommendations anyway. And here's what it felt like...

Chien Danseur

A friend sent me this video a while ago. As I came across it tonight, I noticed that it was in French. One of the choices was: "Ajouter a mon blog," which I figured means "Post to my blog." When I clicked on the blog bug, I got two choices: "lien avec video" and "lien permanent." The first code copied the actual video; the second was a link to the URL. Hope you enjoy it/Espérer que vous l'appréciez! (With an assist from freetranslation.com)

Fooling around some more, this time with glitter type. The graffitti widget was easy because it saved as a photo. This one saves code to a clipboard. I'm not sure how to post it without the code showing!

Tagger Envy

I was fooling around with www.glittertools.com and decided to try my hand at a little graffitti tagging. Lots of other widgets there too. Enjoy!

DOY's Totally Next Level Video Wall

On Monday, Dennis Brack and I slogged up 95 to Philadelphia to shoot the cover for the Fall issue of Development magazine. I was expecting a fun ride filled with Dennis's war stories (he is president this year of the White House News Photographer's Association), and at our destination, the Comcast Center, a spectacular skyscraper developed by Liberty Property Trust in Center City Philly. I knew we would find a gorgeous building -- what I wasn't expecting was the HDTV video wall that filled the lobby, and cast a spell on scores of passersby, drawing them into the three-story atrium, where they stood transfixed by the images, music, movement, surprises, that delighted and amazed them -- and me. Everyone's reaction was exactly the same -- the show stopped you in your tracks and your mouth fell open in silent wonder. Then you smiled. And kept smiling for as long as you watched.

This video from Channel 3 in Philly will give you some idea of what we saw. It's worth a trip to Philadelphia just to see it! For some reason, this is the link posted by Channel 3, but it doesn't go to the correct broadcast. Click on it anyway, then just put Comcast Center into the Search box and it will pull up a link to the right video!
