Video Utils

Remembering the tools discussion from last night, here's a list of a couple tools I've found helpful so far:

MPEG Streamclip Really great app for viewing, cutting, and exporting clips on the fly. He even has a windows version. :-)

CRL guest speaker Joel Solomon

We had a really inspirational guest speaker in CRL class on Wednesday night.

Here is an interview where Joel describes how his company funds startups that do well by doing good. I loved his quote that sums up what we're learning here:

"It's very simple, our mission is to use the power and the tools of business and finance to help make the world better."

Social Networking on OPB

Listening to Think Out Loud on OPB. Tuesdays show is talking about local PDX government agencies using social networking to be more connected to population.

One thing that strikes me as a bit strange is the expectation/practice of responding to tweets/messages any time day or night. This really blurs the work/personal life boundary.

On the positive side, more active public engagement is always a good thing.
