I love this video of Andres being interviewed at the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Belfast for the Global Xchange program. Woot!

Andres being interviewed for UTV … watch the reaction of the fellow GXrs Tyson, Siya and Gemma.  My favorite video of the whole trip!

Journalism isn’t dead, as long as you can wear it. :) On another note, there’s a lot of talk about what people are wearing to the Streamys. I haven’t given it any thought yet. Is that bad? I think I’m missing the girly gene… or maybe I’m just lazy… or maybe I’m in denial. Whichever the case, I may just resort to ripping up old newspapers and making some sort of unintelligible statement on the state of new media.

Reputation Is Dead: It’s Time To Overlook Our Indiscretions

I think we’ve all been preparing for something like this for a while now. I agree with the writer that in a few years youthful (or not so youthful) indiscretions will amount to nothing more than a few chuckles. We’re all fallible and I think I would be more wary of someone who hasn’t ruffled a few feathers along the way.

But I’m also really, really against this being an anonymous service. If you’re going to throw someone under the bus, you should have the balls to show your face. Seriously. The service should be responsible enough to put little emphasis on anonymous reviews. Shutting down a business because of bad reviews is a far cry from shutting down a person’s ability to be a productive member of society.

Maybe we should all start protecting our reputations by forming personal LLCs, that way if our reputation goes bankrupt, we can start over with a clean slate. ;)

I know this is a day old, so it’s already been commented on, but if you haven’t read it yet I highly recommend you do. Read it not for the commentary, but for the implications that a “Yelp, for people” has in the connected world. Privacy, for all intents and purposes, is about to go through a more dynamic shift than ever before. It’s been said before that we live in public, but it’s about to become literally true.

Nick is really funny. He was in our studio a few weeks ago shooting the Audience Choice Award promo for the Streamys and I couldn’t stop biting my lip to keep from laughing and messing up the shot. He’s also a seriously tall dude.

Why Americans Don’t Like Jazz

The reason I love jazz is because I can lose myself in it, because it’s open to interpretation, because it’s different every time… same with an abstract piece of art. Kind of disappointed to hear that it’s only 3 percent of the market share, though I guess I’m not surprised.

Not sure that all Americans don’t like jazz though. Wondering if it really is a cultural occurrence, like the writer suggests.

Wow, I just checked out the video without the effects after seeing this one and I am impressed. I’d like to know how many times they rehearsed. Good stuff… and catchy song, too.

We’re loving: Diane Birch - Valentino - a one-take tour-de-force from Dennis Liu, who also created that really cool Mac Desktop Bird & the Bee video.

See a version of the video without the effects and be even more impressed.

Remember the game Operation? Well, this takes it to an entirely new level.

Doctors from the Showa University School of Dentistry are using a robotic dental patient as a training tool. She winces in pain, rolls her eyes, slacks her jaw when she gets tired, and she drools.

I like this use of robots. The more prepared doctors can be, the better. Of course, when the robots become sentient, I don’t think they’ll appreciate being lab rats. ;)

Charlie Chaplin optical illusion.

An example of how top-down knowledge colors bottom-up signals. What you experience in life, your present experience, is based on accumulated knowledge from your past. Your brain refuses to see what’s in front of you because it has no reference point. Makes you wonder all the things we miss seeing in life.
