Note: if someone sent you this link, and you want to just skip to the fun part of the post, click here. But please come back for the meat… “Help, I’ve been mugged in the United Kingdom!” If you do see this pop up in a Facebook chat, don’t freak out. It means your friend
Seen and Heard

I don’t have an iPad, but I know several people who do. I also know that I am using audio on almost all of my posts now, and video on many. Which means it’s time for me to make those past embedded videos HTML-5 friendly, if I want to be seen and heard along with

The Turkeys on Your TV

I don’t mean to pick on Good Morning America because it’s bad. It’s not. In fact, it is the only TV news I regularly subject myself to anymore. They probably do as well or better than any of the other networks. Which is sad, because what passes for news these days is not news, it’s

A Blind Love for Video

I wish I had a nickel for every Social Media Guru. And I wish I had a quarter for every one of them that ran from that description. It’s time for the Guru to die, because as a term it’s too generic to mean anything useful. For that matter, “Expert” and “Maven” need to go,
