This one gets my imagination zoomin’! The springboard sights and sounds video from the Intel Developer Forum in Shaghai, April 2008. Great storytelling is the art engulfs the heart of my imagination.

In March, on another cultural quest to visit towns throughout Calabria, we went to the top of Tiriolo, which overlooks two seas — the Tyrrhenian to the west and Ionian to the south and east. Our first stop was at Restaurante Due Mari for a hearty lunch with views of both seas. Then we used our new, TheFlip video cam (super small, easy to use and makes nice quality) created a video as we raced down the spiral streets down to the piazza, where we had a coffee before visiting the church. It is a quiet town with beautiful sweeping views and amazing colors.
Here’s a collection of photos.
I’ve spent most of my career behind the scenes helping others get in the the groove for appearing on TV and radio. When it makes sense…I’ll step in front of the camera and share things I know. So after helping Shel Israel get time for a video interview with Intel CEO Paul Otellini, my Intel pal Laura and I got to spend time with Shel showing him the Intel Museum and sharing some of our favorite stories about Intel…the 40 year old company that’s still a disrupter, still bustin’ out innovation from every core.
Shel wanted to learn from Paul if internal blogging was having any change agent impact inside Intel. He learned that it was, and we got to hear Paul share some personal stories — past and visionary — about the evolutionary impact of new technology on human communication. From the days before companies had computers, faxes, even phones…to the unleashing yet connected work-lifestyle brought on by laptop computers. What’s next? The 3-D virtual worlds where people and things can interact together from almost anywhere, anytime. Paul was really into the conversation, and inspiring!
What I wanted to do wanted that day? To get to know Shel better, and champion the grassroots social media activities of some great Intel pioneers like Josh Bancroft…and to share the groundswell momentum today we see as more employees are participating with social media and social networking. And we’re all — pioneers and newbies — still learning tons and sharing nuggets of knowledge with our growing social media posse every day (a recent post and some photos of my Social Media Posse).
Several years ago, when I first started hearing about blogging, someone pointed me to Shel Israel’s site. I immediately enjoyed the topics he covered with wit, insight and a conversational style. Then I had the pleasure of attending a social media session in 2007 hosted at SAP — that’s where I first got to meet Shel. I kept checking into his blog every once in a while and was curious when he started his SAP Global Survey about the use of social media around the world (see Shel on “Marketing Voices” with PodTech’s Jennifer Jones). Note to self: submit my answers to the survey!!
I was unable to embed the videos here, but click this link to Shel’s post where you can watch the first three videos he produced for the new FastCompany.TV.
Shel describes his Intel segment like this:
If you think of the universe of technology—and for that matter-social media, Intel seems to be constantly at the center of it. The devices we use, what we see on them, the companies that provide them, almost completely depend upon Intel for the processing power needed to make it work.
I spent some time with Paul Otellini, who became Intel CEO, after moving up the ranks for 30 years, and with Ken Kaplan, one of Intel’s most passionate social media enthusiasts.
This clip will give you some idea of how Intel is using social media internally and at least a hint of where Otellini thinks it will go during his daughter’s lifetime.
IDF Shanghai Tout, originally uploaded by Hugger Industries.
I’m looking forward to the kick of the 2008 Intel Developer Forum April 2-3 in Shanghai. Lots of my admired teammates will be there. I coined this event as the best, most integrated, cross team, cross geography social media team effort for Intel to date.
Here’s a post I wrote for the Technology@Intel blog. It features tech topics, links to how we’ll be sharing the the IDF experience.
Here’s a cool video my pal Annie and I directed with PodTech. It looks back and a ahead at IDF, where great people get together to build the future upon the latest incremental tech advancements that start at the the computing core…the microprocessor.

It’s built with Intel’s smallest (45nm) transistors in production and designed to sip battery juice while packing a punch inside small, light Internet devices.
We’ll see more “real” devices when the chips are releases to gadget and gizmo makers in the second quarter of this year.
Here is where we can watch what people are saying online. Here are some bookmarked stories on del.icio.us and StumbleUpon.

I saw this posted in Facebook from Social Media measurement guru Katie Paine. This will.i.am music video is a great example of an artist being inspired to create, share and connect with his friends to mash media, skills and passion together into an expression of the times. Here’s how the video is described by drsmarty08.
According to will.i.am, founding member and frontman of Black Eyed Peas, the “Yes We Can Song” was inspired by Senator Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign and especially the speech Obama gave following the New Hampshire primary. He states, “It made me reflect on the freedoms I have, going to school where I went to school, and the people that came before Obama like Martin Luther King, presidents like Abraham Lincoln that paved the way for me. . . .” Dylan says, “The speech was inspiring about making change in America and I believe what it says and I hope everybody votes.”
The music video includes excerpts from Obama’s speech and appearances from several celebrities: Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta, and Nick Cannon. “I’m blown away by how many people wanted to come and be a part of it in a short amount of time. It was all out of love and hope for change and really representing America and looking at the world,” will.i.am said.
Even when the theme is as big as language, sometimes it all comes down to one word.
Barack Obama won bigtime with style, pride, gratitude and grace in South Carolina. Here’s CNN’s coverage — look for video thank you by Obama. Here’s a little of what Obama said:
“I did not travel around this state over the last year and see a white South Carolina or a black South Carolina. I saw South Carolina,” he said.
“The choice in this election is not between regions or religions or genders,” Obama said. “It’s not about rich versus poor; young versus old; and it is not about black versus white.
“It’s about the past versus the future.”
I like that he identified that battlegrounds. Now I’d like to see Obama step deeper into how “vs” can be turned into “+” so that we can work together, move ahead into a future that makes sense of the past. We can not cut off our nose because we despise our face. We can not deny what got us here. I hope with open minds, hearts and conversations with friends, family, strangers, enemies and God, we can do the right things to help bring love, health, wisdom and possibilities to every child, sibling, parent, grandparent and friend. Barack seems to hit that well here:
I’m seeing a lot more friends on the Obama Facebook site. I feel the strong tides have turned and the wind is in his sail!
This is a little drastic for my tastes, but I like the strong desire to reach, touch and cherish truth in this one-minute clip by Kucinich, who just bowed out of the race for President (I always appreciated his candor, gutsiness, sometimes wild or drastic arguments that always came back to the point that people are how matter:
Cool video highlights of Intel inside and all around CES 2008. “Don’t be encumbered by history…go off and do something wonderful” is an Intel inspirational quote from co-founder and first CES Robert Noyce.
