Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. @Ferris_Bueller_

The internet moves even faster, how do I keep up with it all? Google Reader.

I start my day with Reader on my iPhone, 1st stop, scan trending topics feeds, next scan friends shared items, then the blogs that I have subscriptions for, lastly mark all as read.

If I do not make it thru my list, due to time constraints or whatever, I still mark all as read.

Conversational media is a stream, you dive in, you swim around, you get back out, rinse and repeat.

My take on why Seth Godin has a surfing fetish?

"Surfers, a chaotic, opt in, self regulating group of passionate people, with an experiential focus. - @DarinRMcClure

A Mother's Prayer

I pray you'll be my eyes
And watch her where she goes
And help her to be wise
Help me to let go

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

I pray she finds your light
And holds it in her heart
As darkness falls each night
Remind her where you are

Every mother's prayer
Every child knows
Need to find a place
Guide her with your grace
Give her faith so she'll be safe

Lead her to a place
Guide her with your grace
To a place where she'll be safe

@Twitter launchs embedable tweets, so in much the same way you would embed any other snipit of rich media into your website. now you will be able to do it with tweets, as noted in the video below on how to embed a @youtube video.

Cheap Thrills for #MusicMonday.

Don't you just hate it when you embed a Youtube video, and when you view the page via your iPhone you get the stupid this is a flash embed block thingy? Me too, here is the fix.

1) the vid has to be available for mobile devices

if it's your vid this is easy to check, edit your video and make sure it is available for syndication.

2) make sure that "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" is Un-checked when you generate your embed.

Once you have done these two things, your youtube embeded videos will be ready to go for viewing via your iPhone.

Surfing legends Chris and Keith Malloy have spent years travelling around the world looking for the best undiscovered surfing spots. From Antarctica to Iceland and from Galapagos to New Caledonia, no matter how remote the place was, plastic was already there...

Do not fear the media, BECOME THE MEDIA!

In the spirit of Jello Biafra I wanted to know three things from our favorite teachers,

1 Why the strike?
2 Who long will it last?
3 What will the outcome be?

Will have to stay tuned for the answers to points 2 & 3

I see trees that are green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself : "What a wonderful world!"

I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, dark sacred night
And I think to myself : "What a wonderful world!"

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying : "How do you do?"
But they're really saying : "I love you".

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself : "What a wonderful world!"
I think to myself : "What a wonderful world!"
Oh yeah...
