How ready are organizations for the upcoming Holidays when people will curl up in the sofas with their brand new, shiny tablets? Is the content ready for this laid back media consumption?

I’m almost done with upgrading the website after our server was hacked last fall. It was hacked through this webpage due to a security hole in the Woo-themes template – which they had addressed in an e-mail named “Announcements Ahoy!” that I didn’t even open… Probably would have opened if it had said “Major security flaw found – please read and patch”, which would be basic communication 101.
Oh well, still liked my template even though I had to “pay” much more for it than initially thought. Hopefully I can now give WordPress administration a rest and focus on content – looking forward to that. Stay tuned!
I dumped my iPhone 4 for a (European version of the) Samsung Galaxy S2 this summer. Well, I actually dumped iOS for Android first – the choice of phone came second. I love my customized home screens and the control over my phone and being free of iTunes. I’ll stick around with Android for a while. Maybe my next phone will this upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note – it comes with a stylus. It would be to almost go full circle to my once beloved Handspring Prism I had ages ago. I really like the idea of a thin tipped stylus with my phone – doodling with your finger just isn’t the same thing. But then – I might not ever get “off the phone”…
A couple of years ago I was randomly searching the world wide web for more on presentation design and came across an upcoming conference on PowerPoint in San Diego. Not too far from Sacramento, I decided at the spur of the moment to sign up and spent 3 awesome days with others like me, exploring presentations from all different angles. It’s a conference like no other and you leave energized and full of new knowledge.
This year, my 4th year as a patron, The Presentation Summit, the “conference for presenters, presentation designers and powerpoint junkies”, takes place in Austin, Texas and the seminars look just as good as usual.

Craighton Berman made sketchnotes during the Internet Week – follow along as he draws while listening to Nicholas Kristof’s keynote. You don’t even have to listen to the keynote, but can enjoy the music and follow along and “hear” what Kristof says.

This story out of Paris is fantastic: bored and creative (or just creative!) office workers in downtown Paris must have ransacked the office supply room and started making Post-IT art on the windows. Neighboring offices took the challenge and responded and now there are Post-IT art in windows all over Paris. Could this become a world wide trend? There is a Facebook page with pictures from around Paris (and other European cities) with some great, creative windows.
Sure wish we had neighbors across our studio. Maybe the birds would enjoy a little art show?
