It just resonated and hit home immediately – it’s not my normal type of blog post – but a few things seemed to tie in & so I thought I’d put it out there .. <br /><br />As you say the TED presentations are so informative and so interesting & I love that sort of learning or opening into the world .. someone sometime will highlight talks & it’s so great to hear about them.<br /><br />I can see where you’re thinking of going with your Flip video .. it certainly opens lots of doors to ideas .. for presentations etc .. <br /><br />Lance is a great communicator .. and has a wonderful joie de vivre .. it is wonderful to see and read his posts .. <br /><br />Thanks for your blessings ... for us - she is always so pleased to know – that she’s in peoples’ thoughts ...

I've been a TED fan for a few years now and have marveled at the service it provides by making all their presentations available to us on video. <br /><br />Since watching the video, I've been considering various ways of using video to share writing. Not sure where this is going, but I have a little Flip video camera ready when I'm ready to test a concept. <br /><br />And speaking of Video, I love the way Lance promotes uplifting uses for sharing fun stuff with video.<br /><br />Blessings for your mom and you.Soul Dipperhttp://souldipper.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-75951987895172611232010-09-24T07:28:09.043+01:002010-09-24T07:28:09.043+01:00Hi Lance .. great to see you – thank you – you use...Hi Lance .. great to see you – thank you – you use the video spreading already through RAOKA and your Levity projects .. so you’re “waaayyy aheeaad”!<br /><br />It was such an interesting thought provoking presentation – I just felt I had to put it out there .. and you’re right that’s what I saw .. we can develop our own way of doing things via the concept – innovate ... that’s the name of the game for the 21st century.<br /><br />There’s a few of us here .. as we’re showing with Barbara (next post) .. and with your projects .. new ideas and new thoughts .. <br /><br />Lovely to see you .. have a great weekend .. awesome one too .. your marathon must be almost here ... bon chance mon ami ... go, go, go ..... and success in finishing ..

I must get over and see the one you promoted on Biking Architect (is there an RSS button on it?) re Design.<br /><br />Thank goodness someone is still Reading and Analinge information .. but if I can see something – and it’s a superficial read as such .. then I can visualise it more easily.<br /><br />I know you enjoyed Chris’ TED presentation .. I spotted your comment over on Barbara’s blog .. – it is a very perceptive video.<br /><br />Thanks Patricia .. appreciate your thoughts and prayers re my mother .. with blessings and a hug or two to you ..

It cannot be a coincidence that just last week a very techy friend of mine said I absolutely needed to get a web cam and do videos on my (yet to be created) website - and now I see this! Yep, I'm getting the message! :) VERY interesting. This is really the way of the future, this whole video thing, so although I have been resistant to turning techy, guess I best get with it!<br />Hugs<br />suZen<br />p.s. I LOVE TED!

I agree with you – I’m not a great YouTube watcher or web video – but I do like the TED ones particularly – though have only watched a few .. but this one blew me away – re my creativity etc & the possibilities.<br /><br />I love text – but we get so much & I find I can’t read long paras now or long posts – so to give my posts an extra buzz – I put the photos in & mix and match the ideas .. so it’s not one long subject. Actually it gives me a buzz too! & I learn .. and it’s so wonderful being able to hear for instance: Flanders and Swann sing their songs via You Tube.<br /><br />Pleased to hear it resonated with you .. me too .. and delighted you enjoyed it – great to see you and have your comment .. thanks for being here ..

Part of the reason is that my computer doesn't seem to handle it. <br /><br />The other reason is that I love text. Always have. My posts are mostly text.<br /><br />I like how you use a lot of visuals in your posts but I don't seem to do so. <br /><br />This video got me thinking that I really should start producing web videos.<br /><br />It was really good.

Not good though! Not sure which type of wave is the fastest .. and there are many different types – so my scientific research stopped right here!<br /><br />When you get the chance and the internet is released to free flow again .. it’s a good video for your creative free thinking brain – you’ll really enjoy it .. <br /><br />Hope the net doesn’t cause you too many hassles .. look after yourselves ..
