Talking digital research @Poynter
I'll be at my favorite place tomorrow, talking to a class about one of my favorite things, among some of my favorite people.
Attached is the handout I will be referring to - Getting the most out of Google.
I will also do a Keynote presentation on Spotting Fake Photos.
Let's see if it works in this email posting. Wish me luck tomorrow!

More on the Sprite Step Off 2010
Here's the statement from Sprite, on two winners in the Sprite Step Off 2010, because of "scoring discrepancies:"
Sprite Stepoff 2010: two winners statement
Sprite 2010 Step Off - Arkansas Sorority Girls stomp some ass
A good friend showed me this to me yesterday. You have got to watch this.
Apparently - there was a big upset at the Sprite Step Off 2010 in Atlanta - when some white sorority girls from Arkansas did an unreal step routine. Turns out that for the first time - the Sprite Step Off in 2010 had to have *two* winners.
If you click on that link you will see she was correct - there were two winners.
Nothing I can say here can come close to describing how kickass this routine is - you just have to watch it here. If you want to see all of the contestants, you can keep watching they will just play.
Funny - what a miss for Sprite! Their name is all over this - logos are everywhere, they could have shot it with a flipcam from the pit and put it on their website, and included some logo shots but they gave YouTube all the play...See? No video update on the Sprite Step Off 2010 website since 2009. D'oh! They tell me to go watch it on MTV last week...

Hunter S. Thompson calls tech support
Hilarious rant. Totally NSFW if you work around those who get offended by Hunteresque language. I wonder how he would have handled the whole DTV transition thing. Thanks Gizmodo!

Flippin' sweet info porn from NPR
Aw yeah baby. While I was looking for some cool examples of data visualization - came across this bad daddy from NPR.
Ahem Multimedia Educators - if you happen to be peeking at this blog - radio peeps doing data visualization...Just sayin'.... Check this out - what will employment be like in 2018? Roll over the circles for each industry and compare 2008 employment levels with those projected for 2018. The largest circles represent major employment sectors.Simple Mapping Demo - Google Maps
This is for my bff Katy Culver. Today we're teaching at Poynter along with Al Tompkins and Regina McCombs. Katy asked me what my favorite mapping software is. Google Maps! Here's my demo map for Katy, places I love on the beach near where I live.

So what DO I think of the iPad? This...
My initial reaction? This photo says it all (thanks Drew!)
Funny feminine-product-like name iPad aside, it will probably be remarkable in its next few generations.

Subject: Help !!!
Hello,
I'm sorry for this odd request because it might get to you too urgent but it's because of the situation of things right now. I'm stuck in London,England with my family right now, we came down here for a short vacation then i was robbed, worse of it is that bags, cash and cards and my cell phone was stolen at GUN POINT, it's such a crazy experience for us, we need help flying back home, the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is we still have our passports and return tickets but currently having troubles paying off the hotel bills and also getting a cab to take us to the airport. Please i need you to loan me some money, will refund you as soon as I'm back home, i promise.
