"Sometimes I get confused between when my gut is telling me to do something (or make a particular decision) and when it is my head. Case in point: Tuesday evening I was asked to speak at a local entrepreneur group near my home town. Weeks ago, and in preparation, I purchased the book Presentation Zen. Even though it just came out, this book had been on my “gotta read it” list for some time. In it, Garr Reynolds gives some basic, no nonsense advise about preparing for presentations. Things like:
Be concise
Be enthusiastic when you speak
And know the answer to this: What is my absolutely central point?
Not rocket science by any means, but certainly stuff it’s healthy to be reminded of. The entire book is filled with insights like this, but more so it provides a really great method for thinking about speaking and preparing presentations (so go out and buy this book now!).
Somewhere in the text, or between the lines, Reynolds creates the impression that a great presentation is half me ... " [More]

"Thanks for the feedback, JIMBELL!We've made a number of performance tweeks to the system since you sent this and I'm wondering if you still find the site slow?Also, I know a lot of our power-users have been commenting on missing the Dashboard. We actually tried to make all of the items within the dashboard more easily accessible by adding them to the drop-down by your username. So, if you click on the arrow by your name up above, you'll find links to almost all of those features.Does that help?...or do you still miss having all of those things on a single page?Bill @ Spout " [More]

"Sundance Film Festival
I’ve been in Park City for 6 days now and have only been able to see a handful of films (Up the Yangtze, Diary of the Dead, Be Kind Rewind and Where In The World Is Osama Bin Ladin?). Why? Too busy being the “suit” for Spout. I’ve been purposefully skipping some of the press screenings I’ve had scheduled to make time to talk to people within the industry. And by people in the industry, I’m not talking about celebrities. I’m talking about the people who get the work done at media companies, distributors, other film festivals, etc. Not that I don’t enjoy a celebrity sighting as much as the next guy. In fact, here is the list of people I have seen so far:
Oliver Stone
Maroon 5
Dennis Quaid
John Legend
Colin Firth
Livia Firth
Woody Harrelson
Morgan Spurlock
Colin Ferrel
Giada DeLaurentis
Rachel Dratch
Stanley Tucci
George Romero
And there are probably others, but as cold as it’s been around here, it is hard to recognize people with their hoods up and knit cap ... " [More]

"I hope this is still early enough into the new year that I can call this my 2007 Technology Review. The list of websites, software and hardware below are those that I had repeatedly gone back to or have purchase this past year.
Websites
Spout: Of course I hang out here, it’s the best place to discover movies - new and old, mainstream an obscure. Find me here (member since 2005).
LinkedIn: LinkedIn seemed to get really popular with my friends and business associates. I use this site to maintain my professional persona as well as use it to manage my business network. Find me here (member since 2004).
Facebook: As many of my friends are here, I try to keep up with them on a daily basis. This site is social for being social sake. Find me here (member since 2006).
Google Reader: I’ve gone through a number of feed readers over the past few years (including Bloglines and NewsFire), but Google Reader has been the best.
Twitter: All I can say is, haven’t gotten sick of Twitter yet. Fi ... " [More]

"The Right Place, an economic development organization located in Grand Rapids, MI, developed this great little video in support of the greater West Michigan area (is that Benjamin Gott wearing sunglasses?). And the fact that it has been posted to YouTube means that people around here are finally getting the “embed and spread” philosophy. Check it out. The community around here has some really great potential. We just need to get people (everyone from investors to regular Joe’s) adopting a growth mentality. But more on that later.
