In this second in the series on communicating with images, I get to dig into my favorite part - directing attention.

I have all the footage uploaded from the National Conference for Media Reform, but since this ‘net connection sucks I can’t download them to edit and finalize them - until I get home.

So, if you would like, go ahead and take these videos and make your own mixes. Have a blast. Ping this entry and make them into video responses to my YouTube series so everyone knows where to find your great work!

(Seriously - there are about 15 heads of organizations I spoke with who are interested in seeing these videos, so your help is not only greatly appreciated, but will be rewarded with traffic if you make me link to you)

And - thanks! Or, as my conference buddy says - mahalo nui loa!

Thursday’s Videos: Set One | Set Two

Friday’s Videos: Set One | Set Two

Saturday’s Videos: Set One | Set Two | Set Three | Set Four

Sunday’s Videos: Only Set

In short, there’s not enough hours in a day for a conference! I’ll upload and edit the videos as soon as humanly possible, but it’s gonna take a bit. For now, just follow on Twitter.

Also just noticed that Liz Strauss has named me an SOB! Yeah, I need to pay better attention to that stuff… Thank you!

Catching the plane to Minneapolis in just a few more hours. Be sure you don’t miss out on all the great videos already on the conference playlist - there are 6 there so far (including a Diner Pajama Party!), with more coming every single day.

Walking out the door in T minus 3 hours for the bus to Atlanta, Georgia so I can catch a plane on Friday to Minneapolis, Minnesotta. Keep an eye on the conference video playlist for updates! =D

Coming Up:

• Finally meeting in person long-time buddy Sam… and the room mates I’ve heard so much about over the years
• Taking a commercial plane for the first time in my life that I can remember (the last time I was 4)
• Going to Minneapolis for the first time (and this is also the first time I’ll remember being that far away from the east coast)
• Meeting my fellow Hawaiian hotel roomie and bud for the conference Annie - she’s quite a character!
• And then, liveblogging the conference =D

Wish me luck!

Maybe being lazy is a good idea, so says Seth Godin. He calls it “keeping copy out of the way” - but I know better.

All of my web sites will be down from 10pm Pacific June 4th til about 4am Pacific June 5th while my host upgrades their servers.

Unlike the database error we experienced a little bit ago, this down time has warning - which makes me pretty happy - and is to fix the problems we’ve had so far - which makes me doubly happy. Interestingly enough, I already have a 12 email conversation going with the GM and company evangelist. Seems like these guys just recently went through a big money spend.

Cool beans.

I know I haven’t been updating much lately - it’s been nuts busy because I’m headed to the Media Reform Conference being held by Freepress.net this weekend. I’ll live blog as much as I can - see ya then!
