In episode 34 of The Project Shrink Dave Garrett (Gantthead.com) is talking about personal branding. This recording is part of a session Why Should You Care About Social Media? at PMI Global Congress 2009 by the PMI New Media Council.

At monochrom s Arse Elektronika conference last week in San Francisco, computer historian and agitator of Internet trolls everywhere, Jason Scott gave a brilliant in-depth look back on the early days of computer rendered pornography.

I have said it before: every Project Manager should start a blog. It creates the right skill set for virtual and global project management and it helps your personal marketing. In this episode of The Project Shrink I have the pleasure of talking to Stephane Grenier, author of Blog Blazers, a fabulous book for every type of blogger. He also runs a software company and has his own blog (of course).

Two more fun videos I had the pleasure of shooting for Boing Boing Video went up recently. First is a tour of the amazing Littlefield tank museum. From BB: In today s edition of Boing Boing Video, guest-host Todd Lappin explores a massive collection of historical military vehicles tanks collected by an eccentric Silicon Valley multimillionaire. The recently-departed Jacques Littlefield amassed one of the world s largest and most significant collections of this type, and his collection is now overseen by the nonprofit Military Vehicle Technology Foundation. The second video is of Jon Sarriugarte s sexy burlesque and oil and fire fueled Boiler Bar event. Includes a great interview and demonstration from old school blacksmith Shawn Lovell. The video really has it all: sexy burlesque dancers, fire, steam powered car, blacksmithing w/lots of fire, snail car w/fire and fireworks w/more fire.
