{#aft} – A Few Thoughts #1 – Twitter

by Kevin Jones on May 4, 2009

It is time to dive into video.  I have always wanted to do it and am finally at a place where I can.  Therefore, there are a few things that I have done.

These videos:

  • Are part of a new { #aft } series – “A Few Thoughts”.  I gave it the #aft hashtag for Twitter use.
  • Are short and sweet – about 2 minutes in length – easy to digest.
  • Have one quick topic.  Feel free to suggest topics.
  • Are not as frequent as every day, but not as seldom as once a week, either (There – I have committed myself).
  • Just to change things up, I have added a picture at the beginning.  This first one I took at the Las Vegas airport.  It says “Keep off red line.”  But I read it as “Keep Red off line.”  So I was trying to figure out why they wanted Red not to use the internet…?  So to change things up, there will be a different pict there every video.  What does it have to do with the video?  Nothing.  I know that isn’t the best of learning theory practice, but oh well.  I had to add something on there besides my mug.
  • Are recorded in my office at home – at least most of them will be.  If you hear piano in the background, just ignore it.
  • Are my first, and I am sure not my last, format of video.  As with everything else I have no doubt it will evolve.
  • Will help me with my ‘public’ speaking.  I do about one conference session or keynote or webinar or… a month.  As always, I am trying to improve.  Being in front of a camera is different than being in front of real people, but similar enough.

(BTW – my Grandmother has always apologized for giving me uneven shoulders.  I never saw it until now.  Hmmmm.  I wonder if I stand crooked as well.)
