Multiple Choice, Updates & Resources

This blog has been suffering neglect because (choose one):

a) I have been focusing on some work projects, my other blog, a book I’m writing and on speaking

b) I think the less I post here, the more mysterious I’ll be

c) It’s summer and I fear the heat my computer generates might contribute to global warming and possibly cause my apartment to implode.

d) I suck

An update on me

• I recently did a presentation at the Vancouver Financial Services Marketing Meetup.  My notes are below, and a video from that talk – as well a few talks I gave at “My Charity Connects” are on the Video page.

• I am currently compiling items for a media kit to better position myself as a speaker.  If you’re looking for presenters, feel free to drop me a note.
• I have an Acting page up here as well – if that’s news to you, please feel free to take a look.
• I forgot to mention a  “Week in Review” I did for One Degree
• And yes, I am working on a book (I am so unique!).  It’ll likely be an e-book similar to my YourDoseofLunacy blog, but more focused on my experiences.

Good Reading Re: internet/film

• The NFB’s “7 Blogging Tips for Filmmakers“

  I tried to find out why the shipping fee of a small paperback from the US to Canada cost the same as that of a small anvil, but Customer Service at CreateSpace is not too helpful).

  • Jon Reiss looks at DIY Web marketing.
  • Lance Weiler explains why filmmakers are turning to torrent sites to build a community.
