Relationships Old and New. All of them matter.
Oy, I’ve had a ton of sensory overload these past few weeks. I’ve had a few speaking engagements this past month. A bit of stress and nerves beforehand evolve into conversations where I’m wanting to make sure that the audience gets what I am saying and them, likewise, want to get their point across. The presentations all turn into interactive discussions. Unexpected and very welcome. Then I saw Duran Duran down in San Francisco. I’ve been a fan for almost 30yrs.

Where I realize how TV is a chromosome (for me)
The Cable Show ain’t just about Cable…it’s about everything to do with TV…it could have just as well been called “The visuals-on-any-sort-of-screen Show”. Though it’s been many months since The Cable Show, I did say in my last post that I’d give a recap of my impressions of it — especially of how it compared, for me, to TVOT.

3D and Enhanced TV – Part 2
So the TV of Tomorrow (TVOT) show back in March is also known as “Tracy’s thing”, since Tracy Swedlow is the brains and force behind it since the inception of InteractiveTV Today over a decade ago, and many of us who attend this event (there were quite a few hundred this year) have known each other since we first started mingling and collaborating during the AFI Enhanced Television Workshop (which became the AFI Digital Lab); there is a sort of fraternity feeling amongst us, and so many of these folks…
