Actual Brain Scan of RE Barcamp Seattle Attendee
I was working on a few projects this weekend for the upcoming RE Barcamp Seattle 2011. Rummaging through some folders from last year’s event, I forgot I had this rare copy of an attendee’s brain scan after the RE Barcamp Seattle in March of 2010…
(The participant respectfully wanted to remain anonymous, I agreed.)
At a synapse, the plasma membrane of the signal-passing...

Think Big, Work Small... Northwest Video Marketing...
Have you watched Frank and Brian in the Think Big, Work Small videos? Besides being hilarious, they bring a lot of leading edge market information and issues to light. Up until recently they focused their attention on lending. This year they’re embracing the real estate community and have a lot of great ideas and resources for both.
If you’re thinking about jumping into video...

RE Barcamp Seattle 2011: Jim Reppond interview...
Jim Reppond, eXp Realty in Seattle and I are on the RE Barcamp Seattle planning committee. This morning Jim did a quick impromptu interview with Jim Marks of Virtual Results. Jim is the keynote speaker.
Jim and Jim bring up some great points. It’s time to further the conversation from building a community, to building “the” community… custom building the community...

Sometimes, a lousy picture is a great place to...
One of my favorite channels of creative expression is digital painting. When I’m out and about shooting random pictures with my Blackberry, most of them don’t turn out (well as pictures anyway).
A few comments I’ve received of late are concerned about me driving and taking pictures. Let me assure you my eyes are on the road. I literally just hold up my Blackberry and fire off...

Sunshine, On My Shoulder
Over the hump it’s Wednesday and a beautiful winter morning it is. The sky is blue and that floating almost mushroom like column of cloud structure rising in the background is right over downtown Seattle.
Not too many photo opportunities, I’m driving after all. I love it when there’s enough clear sky to the east in the morning that sunrise peaks over the Cascades and reflects...

The 12th Man
Out and about this morning shooting video for the RE Barcamp Seattle event. Headed back to my office about 11:30 AM. It’s a rainy nasty gray morning, but the traffic is moving… well, until I get downtown when it comes to a halt.
Something is going on just past the Olive St. exit and the right lane is closed. Great, so we’re all trying to move over to the left. Inching along at...

I'm Going: Reason #2 RE Barcamp Seattle 2011
I never said anything about being linear. I never promised that so I’m starting off with Reason #2. Why? Because I like it better than Reason #1 right now. It’s my blog and I can do whatever I want to. I’m revising Reason #1 because it just didn’t quite live up to my standards of buzz. Not in the way I felt Reason #2 did.
#1 just didn’t express the relevance, the...

The 520 Bridge, tolls coming in 2011
I was driving back to the office from Ballard Friday afternoon (January 7, 2011) from the RE Barcamp Seattle planning meeting. We’ve got some great things happening in and around the event which is coming up this March 3rd. It should be one of the best BarCamps ever in Seattle. (More on this later.)
I was reminded by the sign above that the 520 Bridge over Lake Washington to the Eastside...

I choosed me a seat n' watched the evenin' sun go...
In the summer of 1982 I was involved in a number of projects at Cornish Institute (now College of the Arts), And/Or, Soundwork, KRAB FM, and other venues around Seattle with different groups of musicians, poets, dancers and theater people. We were all preparing for Autumn performances.
I missed most of that summer spending my time indoors at Soundwork Studio and rehearsal halls. It was a...
