World Rewards Relentless Generosity – Seth Godin and Toastmasters

437 views. By in Activism, Arts, Environment, Ideas, Latest Videos, Marketing, Media, Music, People, Technology, Vancouver. September 9, 2011.

Your host “Vampire Geoff” reports on:

-How to become a better public speaker, through Toastmasters International toastmasters.org

-How to be successful on the Internet – it rewards “Relentless Generosity” to make the world a better place. This is continuously and selflessly giving your energy towards helping others on a worldwide scale, whether it is through making music that people enjoy, blogging, helping the environment, raising awareness, supporting the less advantaged and marginalized, collecting and producing insightful and powerful ideas, etc…

An example is environmentalist David Suzuki davidsuzuki.org

Seth Godin’s blog:

Seth Godin interview:

The vampire effect in this video was the result of using the Portrait picture style on my Canon T2i camera. I suggest using the Canon Portrait picture style on female subjects if you want to make the skin tones pale and bring out the luscious red lips! Doesn’t work so well on very white gentlemen such as myself.

Technical notes:
Canon T2i with Magic Lantern
Lapel mic under collar at front of shirt, plugged into camera’s external mic port
Audio mastered using Audacity
Video edited in Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on a 64 bit Dell computer running Windows 7

War and Outsourcing to Asia – blog from Geoffmobile Jan 2012

99 views. By in Activism, Environment, Ideas, Latest Videos, People, Politics, Technology, Vancouver. January 25, 2012.

Geoff from geoffmobile.com discusses two topics:

1) Apple, one of the world’s richest companies, currently manufactures their iPhones and other iProducts in their many factories in China. Is it right that these jobs are being created in Asia rather than here in North America? What about the shrinking middle class – let’s consider how this will affect our future.
New York times article I mentioned can be accessed here:

t.co/8SFp3UsW

2) In modern warfare, with the latest technologies it is possible to create “drones”, basically remote-controlled killing machines that are remote controlled by soldiers from a long distance. Is this kind of war more or less ethical than older ways of direct combat? How can we justify using these horrific machines if we would never want to be on the receiving end of them?

-Robata chicken skewers (slow cooked on the grill)
-Ebi Filo (Filo prawns) – our favorite dish that we tried! prawns done in a tempura style with Greek filo pastry instead of tempura batter… so scrumptious! served with special sauce
-Bacon and tomato skewers
-Beef Enoki – skewers of beef wrapped around Enoki mushrooms
-Beef stone rice – AAA Angus Beef, rice, and quail egg on top, cooks in the stone bowl. (Influenced by the Korean style of stone bowl cooking).
