Skimboarding fun at Seabright Beach

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 15:22:48 -0700

We took the kids to the beach last week - they were really interested to learn how to skimboard.

We had a gorgeous day for it - 70 degrees and not windy, not crowed, and the sun peeked out after the fog burned off.

We also saw dolphins so close up to the shore we couldn't believe it! Plus a bonus sea lion and sea otter. It was a great day.

Abby and Shelby must have each had over 100 runs on the skimboard. They just kept going for hours. Which is good because unlike them I need breaks!

Here are a few photos and movies of their skimboarding adventures.

Is the Mouse Dead?

Wow - look at this video demo of the Windows 8 touch interface:

And when you think of what is coming next week in the next version of OS X Lion, you start to get the idea that the mouse is on the way out...

About.me Profile

Thu, 26 May 2011 11:41:14 -0700

About.me is a nice way to create a personal profile on the web. They've made it easy to make a visually appealing page about yourself, along with links to your websites and social media profiles. Sort of a one-stop place to find your personal presence on the web.

Here's mine about.me/doncampbell:

Take a look at some of the other profiles in the directory - there are some really nice looking pages there!

Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas

This past week I was in Vegas for two events. It was a fun time but I'm very ready to go home and see my family.

I got a really good rate at Trump Towers. Affiliate Summit was held at the Wynn, which was within walking distance.

I ate dinner at Paris one night with James and Arlene Martell and a bunch of other very nice people.

All in all it was a great event, I learned a lot and met a lot of great people too!

Posterous just got even easier!

One of my favorite things about Posterous is that they've made it super easy to post to your blog.

Just send an email with attachments and Posterous almost magically figures out what to do with it.

Now they've made it even easier with the new iPhone app. I can manage and update any of my sites from here. I can see myself using this app way more than PicPosterous.

Awesome work guys!

Garr Reynolds at Duarte Design

Sun, 29 Aug 2010 21:39:49 -0700

Thursday I went to a happy hour event at Duarte Design to see Garr Reynolds present some of the ideas from his upcoming new book, The Naked Presenter.

Garr's Presentation Zen is one of my favorite books on presentation and design. So I didn't want to miss the chance to meet him and see his presentation. It was great to meet Garr and see some friends there as well. His presentation was outstanding. Plus, luckily I won the prize - a cool Presentation Zen "bento box" full of creative stuff and videos!

I also got a sneek peek at Nancy Duarte's upcoming book: Resonate. I've attended Nancy's Slide:ology workshop and love her approach to crafting compelling presentations. Resonate is going to go into depth on one of my favorite parts of the class - creating a compelling "story" for your presentation. I pre-ordered this one - it looks great.
