The other night I went into San Francisco to help a lady with some video compression. She needed her documentary in a specific format so that she could have it converted to DigiBeta. She was an attractive and kind woman who had many tibetan buddhist objects throughout her house. We got to talking about

Today I learned a valuable lesson. Learning lessons isn’t the important thing though, because there are plenty of concepts we “know” and “understand” but fail to embody and put into practice in our daily lives. It is important to distinguish between knowing and doing.

Just went to see Scott Pilgrim and I must say I am pleased.

Slightly embarrassed, but pleased.

The movie had great music and definitely didn’t take itself too seriously, which is something that I always enjoy. The fight scenes and special effects were surprisingly well done.

I’m still testing out posterous’ (this blog site’s) features, so bare with me on the unrelated video.Today I wanted to talk about #Socialmedia. Why? Because Socialmedia is a fast growing market that is burning up the #interwebs and taking no prisoners. When I say Socialmedia, I mean sites like Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, LinkedIn, WordPress, Flickr, Posterous, Tumblr, and many other interactive platforms. These sites are becoming a new way in which people can find information that is fresh and relevant to them without having to go through google or other search engines.

(This ridiculous video has 7 MILLION VIEWS! This was accomplished through the power of socialmedia sharing)

Social media sites are starting to expand and make connections with each other that were not possible or even conceivable in the last 5 years. This, in my opinion, is an evolution of consciousness and the way information is relayed.

Of course it’s still just bits and bytes of information floating around in cyberspace, but this industry is growing rapidly, making some people extremely rich or popular in the process who would have never made it to the top in previous arenas.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on this industry which I am beginning to immerse myself in. If you have any knowledge to share with me, or are curious to know more, don’t hesitate to let me know how you feel about all this.

Yours in the interwebs,
