A Conversation with Chris Anderson
Last week I had the privilege of interviewing Chris Anderson, the founder of TED.com, on a monthly webinar series that I’m co-hosting with my colleague from New York (and TEDxEast). I won’t promise it’s the best recording but listening to his vision is really inspiring. If you have some spare time it’s worth a review. He discusses the vision for TED and also TEDx while answering a few provocative questions on subjects like Sarah Silverman. Link to the webinar here.
It’s been 13 years s...
We were in a plane between Lincoln and Omaha Nebraska during another week-long tour of some remote part of the US during the presidential campaign in 1996. That year, we did 74 cities in 28 states in 10 weeks. And we did it without data-enabled cell phones. Really, how did we survive?
On that flight, I got a text page (you know, the old fashioned kind, where just a number appears?). I had...
TEDx Columbus...
(After a sabbatical of sorts, I’m back to work. Coming off of the busy summer, a vacation and a child starting school demanded a break in most things routine like my blog entries here.)
I noted in an earlier post that I had an idea around TED, the conference that blasts out ideas worth spreading. TED, standing for Technology, Entertainment and Design, has intrigued me for a while as their...
I am not a geek....
I tried to be one recently. I signed up and went to the Wordcamp (seminar? workshop? geek fest?) this last weekend. I even recruited about 8 other people to go too.
Wordcamp is the official ‘brand’ for a gathering of Wordpress geeks. But I’m just a huge fan. Just an end- user that knows enough to be dangerous. For those that might be still wondering what is Wordpress - it’s...
Is the blog the new press ...
In reading one of my favorite industry, insider blogs from Brian Solis, who writes on “PR 2.0,” he summarized what I’ve been preaching for the last two years. While the press release has not gone away, the way in which we distribute news in them has changed dramatically. Moreover, the advent of the blog itself is a powerful tool to channel consistent, relevant and fresh messaging...
Where were those tissues?...
We should all be so lucky to work or volunteer (or both!) on a project that is as deeply meaningful as Flying Horse Farms. I was a part of the team that planned today’s groundbreaking for this $20 million, 200 acre camp for children with serious illnesses outside of Mt. Gilead.
Let me say, I’ve organized or participated in dozens of “milestone” events such as this one. But...

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.
I reached to my friends at Spork Design today to illustrate, not just design, a new project we’re working on. I trust them because they are a few of the people I know that actually know how to draw, with a pencil in their own hand.
Shortly thereafter, I came across this video on the same related topic. I love it for many reasons. ...
