On December 18, 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 62/139, tabled by the State of Qatar, which declares April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) in perpetuity. Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser Al-Missned, Consort of His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, supported the campaign for a World Autism Awareness Day through the current 62nd UN General Assembly Session, garnering consensus support from all United Nations Member States.

This UN resolution is one of only three official disease-specific United Nations Days and will bring the world's attention to autism, a pervasive disorder that affects tens of millions. The World Autism Awareness Day resolution encourages all Member States to take measures to raise awareness about autism throughout society and to encourage early diagnosis and early intervention. It further expresses deep concern at the prevalence and high rate of autism in children in all regions of the world and the consequent developmental challenges.

World Autism Awareness Day shines a bright light on autism as a growing global health crisis. WAAD activities help to increase and develop world knowledge of the autism epidemic and impart information regarding the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention. Additionally, WAAD celebrates the unique talents and skills of persons with autism and is a day when individuals with autism are warmly welcomed and embraced in community events around the globe.

By bringing together autism organizations all around the world, we will give a voice to the millions of individuals worldwide who are undiagnosed, misunderstood and looking for help. Please join us in our effort to inspire compassion, inclusion and hope.

Step 1 - Research a Cache Location

• Does it meet all requirements and geocaching guidelines to be listed on the site? Make sure to review these during your research. Issues of concern include cache saturation, commerciality, solicitation and long-term cache maintenance.
• Did you consider accessibility? If it is too visible or too close to busy roads and trails, there is a good chance someone may stumble upon it by accident. It is best to place a cache just off trail to preserve the environment but keep it out of sight of people casually passing by.
• Did you seek permission from the land owner or manager? If you place a cache on private land, you must ask permission before hiding your cache. If you place it on public lands, contact the land manager to find out about any rules or restrictions. Please note: You will be in violation of federal regulation by placing a cache in any area administered by the National Park Service (US). The National Park regulations are intended to protect the fragile environment, and historical and cultural areas found in the parks.
• Will the location placement cause unnecessary concern? Please use common sense when choosing a location for your cache. Do not design your cache such that it might be confused with something more dangerous.

Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the application creates a high-resolution panorama that seamlessly combines the original images. The stitched panorama can be shared with friends and viewed in 3D by uploading it to the Photosynth web site. Or the panorama can be saved in a wide variety of image formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to the multiresolution tiled format used by Silverlight's Deep Zoom and by the HD View and HD View SL panorama viewers.

Yesterday the whole crew made it to San Clemente Art Supply to visit with the Brophy's at their new book signing party for "Drawing With Drew" We hope you enjoy exploring the photosynth of the event,

The Style Evolution project pays homage to the immense treasure of surf movies over the past 50 years, many of which are sadly becoming rapidly unavailable due to new video formats. This short film is a collage of wipeouts from 19 surf movies from 1963 to 2005. Support the documentation of surfing through buying surf movies! (or getting paid for your views...)

Hashtags are your friend and whether attending a conference IRL (in real life) or watching remotely using hashtags can deepen and enrich your experience of a conference.

Prior to the Conference
It's starting to be common practice for conferences to assign a hashtag. This enables those tweeting at and about the event to add a way to search for all related posts. Visiting the website of the conference or a quick Twitter search for tweets regarding the event should reveal if a hashtag has been assigned.

Hashtags Protocol

• the # sign appears without a space before a short identifiable abbreviation, sometimes with reference to the year, especially for annual events
• generally the shorter the better as tweets have a 140 character limit
• #sxsw was the hashtag to follow the South by Southwest Conference, SXSW is a trademark of theirs, but hashtags on Twitter can be implemented by anyone, it is simply a matter of getting others use them as well, this is what is referred to as crowdsourcing
  

Start your search as soon as you find hashtags. It may be a bit quiet prior to conference but this will give you a chance to start following and connecting immediately.


Make the Hashtag Easy to Follow

• A saved search is a great way to bookmark the hashtag for easy reference.
• You can't be everywhere at the conference and following the tag can keep you informed of discussions, panels and workshops you couldn't attend.

Friend Up

• As you see more and more of your fellow conference goers use the hashtag friend them up. Send them a quick @ to let them know you are there too.
• If you are serious about connecting share something. If you are at the same conference it shouldn't be hard, you have related interests. Try some Twitter Gifting to connect.

Be sure to Join the Twitter Conversation by

1. Checking your @'s
2. Check your DMs
3. Use Search

Make a List
You might even want to make a list of all those you connect with at the conference. Creating a public list of all the people chatting about the conference provides a nice resource for others coming to your Twitter page.

Tweet Photos as You Walk Around the Floor
Everyone has returned home from conferences with mounds of business cards and notes and schwag. All those ideas and inspirations from rubbing elbows with others in your industry sparks lots of ingenuity and ideas. You arrive home exhausted with all these bits and pieces and names and cards.

Take pictures and tweet out your notes. You are providing a photographic history for yourself, for others and those not able to attend will really appreciate it! Later our trip around the conference floor can be relived. Share some pictures with vendors and colleagues you want to keep in touch with. Create a resource for yourself and others.

Post Live
Do not wait to come home and flesh out posts and inspiration. Post live! Post from the event. It's timely, it's now and you won't regret it.

Summary for You

• Using Twitter to connect with your fellow conference goers.
• Friend up and chat with others in your industry. Try to connect in real life.
• Create a list or saved search to have a stream of just conference activities and to provide you a document of the event.
• Post live. Post pictures. And post often. Share and document your experience to connect with others and to create a historical resource for yourself.
