Not all useful for me, but I really like this style of sharing tool tips. Great series by Ellie!
Leica X1 Camera AG – Excellent Digital Photography, Classic Design
The Leica X1 is the direct beneficiary of 100-plus years of German engineering experience and it delivers the best picture quality in its class – in the proud Leica tradition. This elegant camera features a professional CMOS image sensor that’s as large as those in high-quality SLRs. Combined with an outstanding Leica lens it captures images of unmatched brilliance. Any way you look at it, the Leica X1 is a winner: It’s conveniently compact, its controls are intuitive, and it offers a full range of sophisticated automatic functions. A real Leica “Made in Germany”.The LEICA ELMARIT 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH.Countless iconic images in the history of photography were shot with a fixed focal length of 35 mm. This focal length is considered to be a classic for reportage photography, and has lost none of its timeless charisma today. The Leica Elmarit 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a true Leica lens with terrific optical performance. When seen in terms of 35-mm film format, it has precisely this legendary focal length of 35 mm.
This is one very interesting camera introduced to me by a friend in France, who share photos shot during his first trip to Venice, Italy. Wow! Clarity from the big chip inside, and the wonderful wide, precise lens. Nice design and German technology.

UPDATE: The camera is a little to pricey for me, but I’d love to give it a spin outdoors and inside tech events and tech labs.
Photos of the Leica X1 didn’t it make it through Posterous onto this blog, so here is a video demo I found on YouTube by LeicaRumors.
PRESS KIT – Intel at CES 2010
via intel.com
This is one of the most robust online media kits we’ve built, culling livestream video, many photos and videos shot by employees, integrated Twitter and news/information prior to and during the event as technology announcements were released at the Consumer Electronics Show. I’m fired up to have such a great Pressroom architect behind the scenes @PatrickDarling who was able to pull in our Livestream video presentations (i.e. Intel CEO Keynote), and pull in videos I was shooting and uploading from the Intel booth and beyond. We even collaborated on the banner of the site, which features a photo I shot with my Canon G9 on the afternoon prior to the opening of CES. Excellent, inspiring teamwork.
The Trophospher, Where The Business Action Hero Toils
Inside companies — like in war — strategy is highly valued. Clear strategies followed by tactics. In fact, tactics are where many strategy lovers bump their heads. This books strikes a chord that I’ve been thinking about for years working in the trophospher: collaboration is the key to sustainable leadership and lasting relationships. Not a new concept, but one that is gaining momentum among what I call the new generation of managers who pull together the right people with the right skills for the right job, and seek input/feedback along the way that gets poured back into any existing “process” or “framework.”
“The New How: Creating Business Solutions through Collaborative Strategy” — to which I’d add “and Tactics” — is one book I must read.
I’ll get it on my 2010 BookStack!

Free Apps and Services I Gotta Try
Last week, some friends inside Intel helped release http://MID.AllMyApps.com, a site where you can select all the essential apps — to personalize or optimize mobile Internet devices — and have them download easily all at once.
This got me even more curious about exploring all the great, free applications and services online. Below is a collection of apps and services highlighted from a killer blog post I saw on Twitter sent by @GuyKawasaki.

Online Video Publishing [dot] com: Corporate Video Is Evolving – Ken Kaplan, Intel
Intel is using video for all types of internal and external communications on a global scale. Ken says we’re passed the storming and exploring phase into informing and understanding phase with corporate video and social media. Common corporate uses for video, such as interviews and product demos, have evolved with video blogs, multimedia content sharing and other conversation tools.
Very nice of @klessblog to share context and post this interview I did with BeetTV during the Online Video Platform event in November.
iJustine / Justine Ezarik – Win a computer from pcjustine
As some of you know I’ve been involved in a fun project with Intel for two years. It’s called the “Intel Insiders”. It consists of a bunch of people who are very involved in the social media space and we help Intel to better connect with online audiences who are interested in technology. In the past I’ve participated in a bunch of events including last year at CES and some fun projects like the mobile manners campaign.
I’m very proud to be involved in this great group! They recently were named by the Society for New Communication Research as the Influencer Relations program of the year which is really exciting! You can read more about it here in this blog post.
I’m amazed at the how creative and spunky iJustine is, and here she creates a video for my team at Intel. She’s been a great Intel Insider, especially her help with our fun Mobile Manners campaign this summer.
