8.00 och Idélab all day! Träffade på Annika en stund för att sedan knalla iväg och jobba lite med rapporten, nu har jag gått igenom flera modeller och arbetet med emperin ska ta en ordentlig fart väldigt väldigt snart! =) Sökte varumärkesskydd nu och även det är färdigt. Tjejerna på idélab hjälpte till och ge lite feedback på vilken hemsideadress man skulle kunna ha, nu är det i alla fall klart och på onsdag kommer ni att få veta vad adressen är och förhoppningsvis kan lite info komma upp på sidan =)Träffade sedan Torbjörn på ABF för ett kreativt möte, gick väldigt bra och vi spånade på många bra idéer.

Jag har fixat plotter-texten nu till mina stolar, blev kanoners! är superduper nöjd! Knallade iväg på Gitarrlektionen, den sista för detta år! Bjöd in alla gitarrister te min utställning =) och nu kära vänner ska jag mumsa i mig en “Billy boys special” pizza me oxfilé och bearnaisesås! Zweet!!

Dear readers!
Helgen har gått åt att jobba med diverse produkter och nu börjar det gå fort. 11 färdiga produkter och i veckan räknar jag med att få färdigt ca 10 till! Nu börjar det dra ihop sig! Men jag måste nu ge lite tid till Cuppsatsen då jag anser att jag inte har jobbat med den jätte mycket i 3 dagar. Idag söndag kom fotografen Edis och plåtade 9 av de färdiga produkterna, snacka om att det blev snyggt, nu tycker jag att ni ska få vänta lite till och sedan får ni se en liten filmsnutt som han ska lägga ihop =) hemsidan ska snart registreras och varumärkesskydd skall sökas i morgon! ACTION i högsta grad =)

Nu ska jobba vidare med uppsatsen, jag vill inte lägga ut några bilder för då kommer jag bara att avslöja så mycket, ni får se allt senare =)
Ha det underbart vänner och kom ihåg “världen är en bok, den som är hemma läser bara en sida” utforska allt och lev livet, visa tacksamhet och ha en positiv inställning, ta vara på stunden….

Kära läsare! En tung dag idag, främst då jag har varit sjuk och min kropp har sagt ifrån ( i alla fall i början). Nu när jag summerar kvällen kl 21.43 kan jag säga att jag har fått en hel del gjort, bland annat skrivit ordentligt mycket i rapporten, bokat om mitt möte från idag till imorgon (kommer förmodligen att vara färdig med inbjudan och visitkort då). Nu har jag även kollat igenom rejält mycket litteratur, 23 böcker! Jag har fyra intervjuer som jag nu behöver sammanställa så det är egentligen bara att köra igång med det nu!

Sen har jag med starka protester ifrån kroppen ändå jobbat med mina möbler, Jag har fått igång ännu en produkt nu och byggt färdigt på övriga som är under arbete, det känns helt ok. I morgon kommer jag i princip hela dagen att jobba med den teoretiska delen (förutom visitkorten), jag ska även försöka hinna dra till glasmästaren för att få mina skivor ordnade (resterande skivor iaf). På tisdag ska jag ta kort på allt, måla det mesta och även färdigställa vissa produkter. Så jag räknar med att bli färdig med mycket till helgen! Lookin good iaf! Kämpa ska man fan göra, motgångar prövar en, så ta motgången som en gentleman för vill man så kan man och jag vill och jag SKA! Så enkelt e det =)

nu ska jag försöka skriva lite till och vila ut så jag är superladdad tills i morgon!

Well well, det var allt för denna gång, vi hörs i morgon!

Må väl!
/S

kan inte påstå att jag har haft en great day idag! Jag e sjuk och har inte riktigt orken för att jobba med produkterna, men jag tror jag måste ändå så jag ska iväg till min bror snart för att fixa lite, i morgon ska jag ta kort på allting för att sedan fortsätta göra om allt. Tror jag ska sikta in på att skriva i rapporten, i morgon ska jag ha handledning med Christer, får se hur det går. Idag hade jag ett viktigt möte som blev avbokat. Så ja, bättre dagar har det funnits hehe =)

Jag ska i alla fall fortsätta det praktiska och teoretiska arbetet idag så får vi se vart vi hamnar  Keep movin!

Peace and Love

Igår träffade jag Annika Edetun Lahtinen, VD för Idea Plant, självfallet diskuterade vi Remade Sweden. Remade Sweden är egentligen en framgångssaga som fick ett oväntat “avslut”. För att inte göra historien lång så kan det sägas att lågkonjunkturen drog över Remade Sweden som en sjukdom och infekterade Remade Sweden. Bakom idén “Remade Sweden” stod en man vars liv har kretsat runt Redesign, miljöfrågor och Recycle design, hans namn är Jan Brandt och det är tack vare han jag började min idé med att starta ett företag runt remade design. Han är en människa med mycket energi, inspiration och framför allt motivation. Den andra personen bakom idén är självklart Annika som har spenderat mycket tid för att förverkliga denna idé, hon har likaså Jan mycket energi, drivkraft och är väldigt idérik.

Av hennes sätt att beskriva Remade Sweden, hur hon berättade om Remade Sweden fick mig att förstå att det ligger många känslor bakom projektet och jag märker direkt hur Annika lever in i situationen.

Ett barn är det käraste man har, man värnar om barnet på bästa möjliga sätt och man vill barnets bästa. Att se sitt barn växa, börja gå, börja prata, börja springa, börja cykla, ja ni förstår vad jag menar, det är det underbaraste känslan, den känslan är egentligen ovärderlig på alla möjliga sätt. Jag har upplevt detta genom mina syskonbarn då jag själv inte har barn, men dessa barn har påverkat mig i många situationer. Jag tror att Annika och Jan ser detta projekt som sitt lilla barn, de har fått se barnet växa, utveckla sig, uppleva mot- & medgångar, börja prata (förmedla info) och framför allt växa sig starkare. Därför tror jag att Annika berättade om projektet med mycket känslor, det snurrade till i mitt huvud rejält.

Och ni vet hur det är när barnet inte mår bra, man gör allt, sitt yttersta för att få barnet att må bra. Man kämpar så som man gav allt för att barnet skulle få en bra uppväxt. Samma sak gäller projektet, Remade Sweden behöver vård, Remade Sweden är unikt, Remade Sweden är vad som bör kallas för ”Heal the World”. Remade Sweden behöver oss, det är dags att vi ställer upp, hur vi gör det är en öppen fråga, men som jag brukar säga ”impossible is nothing” och jag tror att det finns många lösningar på hur Remades problem kan lösas, det gäller bara att se över möjligheterna och ha ett gemensamt mål, för det som förtjänar att göras förtjänar också att göras väl och ensam är starkt men tillsammans är vi starkast! Remade Sweden is to be! We are there to make it happen!

En timme med Annika gick allt för fort och det krävs nog oändligt många timmar för att kunna diskutera detta på ett ordentligt sätt. Tack Annika för din tid, det är alltid roligt att få träffa eldsjälar som dig, som har en sådan drivande kraft!
Vidare jobbade jag med mitt eget projekt under hela dagen och kvällen, jag har goda nyheter där jag har fått många av mina idéer förverkligade, många produkter som jag börjar bli färdig med, även glasskivorna börjar bli färdiga =)
Idag blir det action igen med massa produkter!

Vi hörs snart!
Peace and love!

Emisyon İzni GSM Ruhsatı ÇED

ÇED (Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi); belirli bir gelişme yahut programın, çevre üzerindeki önemli etkilerinin belirlendiği bir süreç oldu. Bu süreç, kendi başına bir karar verme süreci değildir; karar verme süreci ile birlikte gelişen ve onu destekleyen bir süreçtir. Yeni proje ve gelişmelerin çevreye olabilecek sürekli veya geçici potansiyel etkilerinin sosyal sonuçlarını ve alternatif çözümlerini de içine alacak şekilde analizi ve değerlendirilmesidir.

1969 yılında ABD yürürlüğe girdi. Ulusal Çevre Politikası Kanunu (National Environmental Policy Act) kapsamında dünya ile tanıştı. ABD, gerek AB ülkeleri, gerekse diğer dünya ülkelerinde halen en etkin çevre yönetim aracı olarak yerini almıştur. Gün geçtikçe de bu yeri sağlamlaştıran ÇED, ülkemizde 7 Şubat 1993 tarihinden bu yana uygulanmaya başlandı. Türkiye de sağlam bir çevre yönetimi oluşturmanın esas temelini ÇED sürecinin yasal, kurumsal ve teknik altyapı açısından güçlendirilmesi teşkil etmektedir. Çed Raporu

ÇED’in (Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi) amacı; ekonomik ve sosyal gelişmeye engel olmaksızın, çevre değerlerini ekonomik politikalar karşısında korumak, planlanan bir faaliyetin yol açabileceği bütün olumsuz çevresel etkilerin önceden tespit edilip, gerekli tedbirlerin alınmasını sağlamaktır. Geyik Muhabbeti

Çeşitli kaynaklardan çıkan katı, sıvı ve gaz halindeki kirletici maddelerin hava, su ve toprakta yüksek oranda birikmesi çevre kirliliği oluşmasına neden olmaktadır. Hızla artan dünya nüfusunun ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması için teknolojinin gelişmesine bağlı olarak endüstrileşmenin de artması gerekmektedir. Bu artış beraberinde var olan doğal kaynakların hızla tükenmesine neden olmaktadır. Akyaka Apart

Working on new music as well as preparing for our live show this Wednesday at Little Temple as part of the Strictly Social jump off.   I,Ced of the Hawthorne Headhunters collab’d on some new music which I cant wait to share with you all.  He, alongside Coultrain, Proh Mic and Black Spade will be opening for Dam Funk at the Echoeplex Thursday should you be around LA.

I love working with musicians that understand and master their craft.   Ced is one of those dudes who doesnt play the music, but feels the music.  So humbled to be surrounded by such wonderful talent!    Hope to se you Wednesday night in LA at Strictly Social as we get down.  Myself on (MPC/ Precessions / Beats) Dexter Story (Life Force Trio/Build An Ark on Bass), Wendisue on + Special guest on vocals.  I,Ced (Hawthorne Headhunters/HVYW8) on keys/synths) and Evan Lasrey (Keys/Percussions)

We hit the stage at 10 pm.   Hope to see you there.

Soprattutto pediatre, psichiatre dell’infanzia e genetiste. Ancora poche, pochissime, sono invece le specialiste in oncologia e chirurgia. Questi i dati forniti dal ministero dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca, elaborati dal Ced (Centro elaborazioni dati) della Federazione degli Ordini dei medici (Fnomceo), che ha condotto una ricerca sul ‘pianeta donna’ in medicina. Dall’indagine, si scopre che, malgrado tra gli iscritti all’albo il 65% sia ancora rappresentato dagli uomini (233.205 su 357.410), il sorpasso delle donne sembra essere solo questione di tempo. Analizzando il rapporto della Fnomceo per fasce d’età, si scopre infatti che tra i medici chirurghi sotto i trent’anni (25-29) il 63,4% è donna. Anche tra i professionisti fra i 30 e i 34 anni la maggioranza è ‘in gonna’: ben il 59,6%. Più donne anche tra i medici che hanno dai 35 ai 39 anni: il 51,9%. Per avere una netta supremazia degli uomini bisogna arrivare alla soglia dei 50 anni. Da quell’età in poi trovare un medico donna è assai più difficile: solo il 14% nella fascia d’età che va dai 60 ai 69 anni. Tutti professionisti, però, prossimi alla pensione. “Tra 15 anni, massimo 20 – spiega all’ADNKRONOS SALUTE Gabriele Peperoni, vicepresidente della Fnomceo – il Servizio sanitario nazionale italiano diventerà un feudo al femminile. Le migliaia di professionisti che andranno in pensione saranno sostituiti perlopiù da donne. E il trend delle iscrizioni alla Facoltà di Medicina ne è la conferma”.

Today has been an amazing day of just making things happen and connecting the dots.  I have a studio session today with I,Ced of Hawthorne Headhunters. Trying to wrap up some more sounds over some new beats.   If your in LA on the 19th, check him out at the Echoplex opening for Dam Funk.  But also, today was just a wonderful day as more positive reviews came in for Audio/Visual.   This is a new phase that Im not use to. Seeing your work get chopped, summarized, judged by others when the whole time when creating these sounds you never really had that in mind that it would be listened to, blogged about, etc.  You just made it cause you felt it.  Its opened my eyes in a alot of ways and now I check myself anytime I judge another artists work.   Just spread love and support.

Jag hann tyvärr inte blogga igår, hade allt för mycket att göra! Jag tänkte att jag kan blogga om både igår och idag på en gång så tror jag att ni läsare förstår mig =) Jag och Richard redovisade vår marknadsöversikt igår, gick helt utmärkt! känns bra att få det gjort! Jag intervjuade ännu en person igår och idag ytterligare en person! Nu är jag uppe i 4 intervjuer och 4 till siktar jag på. Har två inbokade intervjuer till nästa vecka, så två till måste jag ordna fram =).

Jag träffade även Hasse igår, Han är lärare på Högskolan! Superduktig inom informationsdesign och layout. han kommer att hjälpa mig med några saker till utställningen Jag var även på en bokföringskurs med Marie Gylte, känns bra att få lite ekonomisk information! Markus Yngvesson är en riktigt grym kille måste jag säga, hans innovationstänk facinerar mig varje gång! Inte nog med det så är han en duktig magiker, tror han lär dyka upp på min utställning, då ska ni få se på action =)

Idag har jag jobbat med min inbjudan till vernissagen! Det går bra just nu, jag och “Marre” Marius har brainstormat, han har många idéer som vanligt =) Senare ska jag ordna lite praktiska grejer till mina möbler!

Så vi hörs sen!

Ojojoj vad mycket jag har haft för mig! Vid 8.30 var jag i skolan, jobbade med examensrapporten till 10 för att sedan träffa ännu en superduktig person, Annika Lövgren, VDn för företaget Kreo(www.kreo.org). Kreo jobbar med att utveckla idéer, coaching och rådgivning, inspirationsföreläsningar & kreativa workshops. Kreativitet sätts i fokus och inspirationen flödar efter 5 min med henne. Självklart samarbetar hon med Cecilia Hyrén vilket inte förvånar mig då Sissi är en person med en stor passion för entreprenörskap. Vi satt och bollade idéer om mitt företag och idag, just idag behövde jag det och det lossnade rejält. Annika ska även vara en av informanterna till min examensrapport, men än så ska jag inte säga . Den här världen jag lever i just nu är bara för bra! I feel GOOD!

Jag var även på invigningen av kreativitetslabbet(mdh.se/idt/kreativitetslabb) i studion på Högskolan, det ser onekligen bra ut för högskolan med deras nya satsning på kreativitetslabbet, sånt behövs verkligen! MORE Creativity!! Bra initiativ av skolan tycker jag! Jag fick även sitta med i diskussionsmomentet “fisköga” och lägga fram lite åsikter om kreativitet och ja, deadline, hur vi nu än kom in på det =).

Det jag menar är, Måste vi ha deadlines? fine jag accepterar det i stora företag, i medelstora företag, i alla företag! Men när man gör något roligt, vare sig det är på jobbet eller om det är någon hobby man utför, om man nu tycker att det är så otroligt roligt att man gärna så gärna vill göra det konstant och varje dag, non stop, så behöver det inte betyda att man behöver ha deadline? Då gör man ju ändå uppgifterna så pass frenetiskt att man lyckas göra dessa i tid! Tid skulle då inte ens existera! Självfallet är det inte så alla gånger och man måste alltid anpassa sig, men i vissa lägen tycker jag inte att deadline är något bra!

Anyway, efteråt så träffade jag brorsan och vi hittade ett plan B på mina glasskivor, nu kommer jag att ordna det till nästa vecka skulle jag tro Som max till veckan efter. Imon ska jag jobba med lite annat smått och gått! mycket mycket att göra =D Hur som helst så hade jag ett möte vid 16. Jag ska nämligen vara domare i “First Lego League” En Robotiktävling för grundskoleklasser, 20 lag tävlar i Stålforsskolan! Zweet! Jag måste nog susa nu, väldigt sent och jag ska upp 7 i morgon!

Peace and love

In my opinion, this is a very good book about human resource management. The contents are extensive, which include the legal environment, information technology, job analysis and design, human resource planning, how to recruit employees and select employees, employee training, organizational development, career development, wage and salary systems, employee relations and more.  Although they are all quite fundamental, they are detailed and easy to understand. After going through all the chapters, you could at least be able to define human resource management, describe the functions of human resource management, summarize the types of assistance provided by the human resource department, explain the desired relationship between human resource managers and operating managers, identify several challenges currently faced by today’s human resource managers, outline several potential challenges and contributions presented by an increasingly diverse work force, and know in general terms how human resource managers can affect organizational performance.

 What I like most about this book is that there are many review questions, exercises and discussion questions after each topic and summary of learning objectives. It lists them out one by one to make the point clear and easy to understand.  In each chapter, many detailed examples and figures are attached for elaboration. To make learning interesting, it begins with a lively dialogue somewhere. Like incident 6-1, it starts with a story, “you are a human resource consultant. You have been called by the newly appointed president of a large paper manufacturing firm.” The story explains what human resource planning is with several questions following. I like the explanations of this book very much and did learn something from it. Hope it also can live a deep impression on you.

Where to find the book?

If you think being in a relationship is easy and all you have to do is say I love you every other month then you’re sadly mistaken. I’ve been with Cedric on and off for the past 4-5 years and it hasn’t been easy. There are the occasional arguments here and there but for the most part its just the commitment. I don’t have commitment issues its just the effort and time you have to put into it. Right now Cedric is sick and there’s nothing I can do to help him. Neither one of us has health insurance and Cleveland, Ohio is one of the worst places to try to get decent health care. The way he’s been coughing and sneezing I should of been sick by now and I just glad I’m not. The point is that I can’t take care of him and I know he needs me right now because sometimes he can’t get out of bed.

If you’re living with your significant other no matter how long or how short it has been I think you should know that its tough. Cooking and cleaning after a man for starters. Oh my I could have just cleaned the kitchen and finished cooking and he’ll come along and tear the whole kitchen up. Its hard getting a man to clean up after himself because they’re lazy. If I can cook, clean and do your laundry you can put the cap back on the pickles and stick them back in the fridge. I don’t ask for much from him but I give him a lot.

Around this time last year; a worst case scenario almost became reality. There was a shooting and he was in the crossfire and luckily he didn’t get shot. At this time I wasn’t living with him but a few days before I was just thinking about how life is so short and how something can happen to him so quick. I was trying to remember when was the last time I told him I loved him and I couldn’t. Well he managed to make it to my grandmothers house safely and I didn’t know what to feel. I know I wasn’t angry like anyone else would of been. I was happy that he was okay. I told him I loved him and that was the end of that.

There are a lot of things I should be doing differently in this relationship but something is holding me back from doing so. I don’t know if its my emotions or if its just him. He don’t complain much about me if any at all but its a lot with him that’s just unacceptable when you’re in a relationship. Certain things you don’t say out loud; like recently, he told me he would trade me away for a brand new gaming computer. For once I couldn’t tell if he was joking or not but for some reason I couldn’t get angry with him but nonetheless, you don’t say anything like that to your supposedly girlfriend. Some men have a hard time knowing when to shut up or not and that can end relationships so fast. Its good to be honest but to bluntly speak your mind like that? In my book that’s mental abuse.

The thing is this, being in a relationship takes work and lots of it. Don’t deprive your friends [if you have any], your health, or your family for a man or a woman though. Don’t wait til its too late to tell someone you love them, but don’t say it if you don’t mean it. If you have common sense, know what is appropriate to say and what’s not [unless you're a child in a man's/woman's body]. Try your best to be there for them and take care of them. Don’t get in a relationship you know you can’t commit to. If you know you’re a cheater, save yourself the energy and don’t start something you’re going to finish on a sour note. If you’re not happy with that person, leave them. Remember, love is not supposed to hurt no matter how many ways you try to convince yourself.

Dagen började med att xjobbet startades, jag har kört på sen innan, i alla fall en aning =)
Jag har ringt runt lite och jobbat med exjobbet tillsammans med Morin, Fellenza och MariuZ som har typ 100 idéer om dagen!
Jag har fått se hemsidan nu sådär “live” den e riktigt snygg måste jag säga, detta kommer att bli kanoners!
Sent på kvällen  begav jag mig ut för lite lövplockning, det blev 4 stora påsar, i morgon blir det mer, så ser ni någon som plockar löv så vet ni att det är jag

Jag pratade även med en vän i sthlm med många kontakter, han håller på och startar en konsultföretag för ingenjörer, det är “tynga grejer det” så alla mina vänner som läser min blogg kan ju höra av sig om de är intresserade av att vara delaktig i företaget!

Det var allt för idag!
Vi hörs i morgon!

Peace and love!

There’s no reason why I should be depressed when I’m in a relationship but I am. I don’t know why I’m here in this relationship. Wait, I know why, I have no where else to go just yet. I’m in Cleveland, Ohio and I have no work experience but I’m very experienced in a lot of fields of work but never got a job due to the lack of work experience. I’m trying to start school, I’m trying to get the hell away from here and leave him. I can’t really leave him if I’m still living here with him.

See my boyfriend is a bit of a bully and he’s rarely nice to me so I treat him like he treats me. He don’t know how to stop picking on me or at me about things that’s not my fault. I try not to get pissed at him or cause problems but its getting harder and harder not to want to punch him in his mouth. He only do things that will benefit him or he will only be nice to me when it suits him. Very rarely do we have decent conversations that doesn’t lead to us threatening each other which in case he starts it with me first. Its like if I say it hurts me physically and emotionally and sometimes mentally, he doesn’t care. I have to get into a crying rage with him to make him realize that he’s hurtful but I realize that doesn’t work either. He says he love me and he don’t want me to go but yet he’s steadily pushing me away. He’s constantly doing things that he know hurt me but when I tell him he’ll say that he’s “trying”. He’s 28 years on and I’m 22 but yet he acts younger than me.

I wanted to commit suicide one day when I was heading to the TowerCity Mall here by walking in front of a moving vehicle preferably a bus because I felt I had no way out. I moved out my grandmother’s house to escape the abuse and the other things she was doing to me and now here I am back in the same shit. I don’t know if I even love him any more, its more like a one day I do and a another day I don’t type thing with my emotions now. He’ll do things if I ask him sometimes, like taking out the garbage or doing the dishes but hell that’s like once every month.

This site called Crushspot.com, that’s where I met him and when we got into the relationship I thought he was going to stop getting on there so much but since he didn’t stop going on there I didn’t either. Well when he’s on there he’s flirting with females, giving them pictures of his penis, allowing them to call him, gets on his web cam and they get on theirs, save their nudes to his computer and he does all this in my face. Honestly, my online friends treat me a lot better than him. They compliment, they respect me and they treat me like I want to be treated. I can’t help but wish that I had someone in my life that was like the guys that treat me with respect online. I’m utterly depressed because I feel trapped here and the fact that I am trapped here I have to deal with his bullshit on a daily basis. I’m just so ready to get into Job Corps get this trade so I can get a job and get the fuck out of here. I don’t want to be depressed any more, I want to be happy and not in pain all of the time.

Update: 09-17-2009 4:06 A.M. : Me and my boyfriend got into it for the last time and now its over. I’ve left him. Now my only thing is to get me a place.

Sofia, September 3, 2009 – A permanent body that will monitor and encourage good corporate governance practices in Bulgaria – the National Corporate Governance Commission, was established today. The commission will be an independent body under the patronage of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and the Financial Supervision Commission. The new body aims at strengthening further the corporate governance in Bulgaria, addressing the challenges highlighted in the latest World Bank’s report on the Observance of Standards and Codes (ROSC) called “Bulgaria: Corporate Governance Assessment”, that was presented in December last year.

The objectives of the Commission will be to:
• develop and disseminate best practices;
• monitor the implementation of the National Corporate Governance Code by the companies;
• provide regulators with recommendations for the improvement of the corporate governance legal and regulatory framework.

Mr. Rumen Radev, Vice-Chairman of the Governing Board of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association and Member of the Governing Board of the EuropeanIssuers has been appointed as the first chairman of the Bulgarian Corporate Governance Commission. The Commission includes representatives from the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, Financial Supervision Commission, Center for Economic Development, Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association, Association of the Investor Relations Directors in Bulgaria, Bulgarian Association on Investors Relations, Investors Association, and academia including prof. Bistra Boeva. Prominent representatives from the private sector with proven reputation and expertise in corporate governance such as Manu Moravenov, CEO of Fair Play Properties and Stefan Petranov, CEO of Zlaten Lev will contribute to the work of the Commission. Additional members are expected to be invited to join shortly…(continue reading)

A rainy and chilly morning in Tagaytay, yet everything’s so warm during the preps.  Families of the couple never ceased to humor us with their witty lines… and Ced’s the master of them all. This is one of the most unforgettable wedding shoots I had, aside from the fact that it’s on a 9-9-9.

Hey there! Before I sum up what we covered in TechStuff this week, I just want to say Chrispy and I continue to receive great e-mails and tweets from you guys. Thanks for sending us your questions, comments and ideas for topics. We’re also aware of some encoding issues we’ve had with past episodes and we’re working to resolve them. We’re flattered that you guys want to go back and listen to everything we’ve done so far. If all else fails, maybe Chrispy and I can show up at your town and reenact the podcasts you’re missing [Editor's note: we will not do that].

Also, I need to make the following statement: Linux is an amazing operating system. It’s robust and it has a huge community of intelligent and innovative supporters who continually improve the OS and create fantastic applications. Anyone who makes fun of Linux clearly doesn’t know what he or she is talking about. And I would appreciate it if the IT department would lift the restrictions on my computer so that I could access something besides the “Hamster on a Piano” YouTube video.

On Monday, Chrispy and I talked about the various hardware you can connect to your television to enhance your home theater system. We gave a background on two different format wars (Betamax vs. VHS and HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray). In one of those battles, Sony lost. In the other battle, it’s too early to tell if Sony really won. We also covered electronics ranging from capacitance electronic discs (CEDs) to the Apple TV.

Wednesday’s show was all about machinima. Machinima is an art form in which you use a pre-existing virtual world (such as the kind you’d find in a video game) to create a story. The story could be a short cartoon or a full-length feature film. We point out the similarity between machinima and the ancient art of puppetry. I also wax poetic about Red vs. Blue, the series that introduced me to the concept of machinima in the first place.

Thanks for listening to TechStuff, and keep those suggestions coming. In the meantime, here’s a little hamster on a piano.

Let me tell you about CED – the Council for Entrepreneurial Development.

CED is the place for entrepreneurs to come together and share ideas, experiences and resources that can help better their respective businesses.

CED’s formal mission as a private, nonprofit organization is to identify, enable and promote high growth, high impact companies and to accelerate the entrepreneurial culture of the Research Triangle and North Carolina. WOW – that’s a mouthful, but what does it mean and how do we accomplish it?

It means that CED is trying to maintain and grow this special and vibrant entrepreneurial community by assisting those in it. We do this by offering educational programming to give entrepreneurs tactical resources and by leveraging the expertise of our most successful members to help provide resource to those who are most in need of it. We try to put the “right” people in the room to facilitate the exchange of resources – ideas, expertise, money, and shared experiences.

And we like to think that over the last 25 years we have been pretty successful. CED is widely viewed as the oldest and largest entrepreneurial support organization in the nation, with more than 5,500 active members (70 percent of our members are entrepreneurs and 30 percent are service partners, investors and academics). In addition, our executive committee and board of directors are influential leaders in this community and are key components in directing the impact CED can have on your business.

This Taiwanese company has made a very professional (yes affordable) Range Bag. Was thinking about this for a while but decided to buy one finally. I was using a laptop bagpack for carrying around my XDm and although useful, has it’s limitations.  This new CED range bag is very sturdy, great construction and of high value. it’s cheap too, around $80.

great to keep extra mags and all the other stuff like ammo, hearing protection, cleaning kits etc.
