Video: Sean Maloney on Moving Intel Faster, Doing More in China
Via Scoop.it – Intel Free Press
Just prior to his keynote at Computex 2011 in Taipei, Taiwan, newly named Chairman of Intel China Sean Maloney talks with Intel Free Press leading Intel through a rapidly evolving mobile computing industry.
Show original
I shot and edited this interview inside Intel headquarters, and although my production skills were lacking (poor audio, lighting…) I was beside myself as Maloney focused and delivered answers to some tough questions.
I later tuned in for his keynote, which can be seen here or highlights below, and was truly in awe at his expresiveness, passion, charm and twinkle that often shined from his eyes.
He has been so devoted to Intel for decades, and that determination has helped his recovery from a severe stroke that pulled him out of work last year. He lost his ability to speak, but worked with experts to retain his brain and when I was shooting this video and watching his Computed keynote, I couldn’t help but keep smiling. Maloney is a leader who leads by example, by doing and participating.

Unleash your curation creativity: 4 cool storytelling tools — SocialFish
Via Scoop.it – Real-Time News Curation
I’ve been playing with a slew of storytelling tools lately.
These are curation tools for publishing – in other words, not just curation as in filtering information for yourself, but curation in order to blog about some particular “story” or present content in a visually interesting way for other people to look at. For all of these tools, you pull content from your social streams and arrange them in a particular way, like…

Putting the “I” in Motor Sports
To rev up for the centenial Indy 500 race this weekend, I spent time with a real motor racing fan, Don Bowden. I’ve known Don for over a decade, since I joined Intel. He’s a legend corporate demo god who has gone on stage with top execs to show and explain new technologies in front of thousands of people.
He’s been a member of iRacing.com for years and even works with the simulated multi-player game owners to sponsor events and to use iRacing at Intel events like CES and even on technology breakthrough demonstrations like the recent future tech demo of 3D 22-nanometer transistor processors by Intel.
I spent an afternoon with Don to learn about why he loves iRacing and to take it for a spin myself — wow! I shot and produced this video, which gives a good sense for the control, authentisity and thrill of the iRacing.com experience. Below is a short post that leads to the story I wrote for Intel Free Press, which features an interview with iRacing.com, insights into the tech behind the simulation and why iRacing is critical to the future of motor sports fans. Follow iRacing on Twitter during the Indy 500 and future races.
