Dr Normal: Sandy Didn't Ruin Romney's Campaign, Big Bird Did!

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2012/11/sandy-didn-ruin-romney-campaign-big.html

Sandy Didnt Ruin Romneys Campaign, Big Bird Did! It was at the height of election night that I sent out this tweet based on a conversation I just had with my daughter about the Obama vs. Romney presidential race. Seeing the truth in this simple idea isn't that hard. You will read much more complex arguments as to why Romney lost his bid for president, but I think it was just that simple. What will my candidate do in a crisis or when they don't get their way? How will they adjust? Perhaps, but I've had a ...

Dr Normal: Douglas Engelbart and The Future, Now

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2013/07/douglas-engelbart-and-future-now.html

Douglas Engelbart and The Future, Now. Caption id="attachment 821" align="alignleft" width="300"]. Pointing a compass to a destination- a collective idea- traveled by like minded people. The Future is both large and complex, and small and personal. 160; I think his memory is best served if you watch and listen to a man who invented The Future right here, on this blog, in these embededd videos, on this Internet. All of this existed in 1968, just not in that collective Now. Need to contact Doc Normal?

Dr Normal: The Pull of Minecraft

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-pull-of-minecraft.html

The Pull of Minecraft. I've always been involved in some form of. Since I was in grade school picking apart/repairing cassette tape recorders, so. Specifically, outliers and mainstreamers that insist on coming up with newfangled media taxonomy every few years, primarily to define digital media and the Internet. One of my 'favorites' has been Transmedia. Which I've felt has been over-hyped and inconsistently defined. And one of the key proponents of transmedia Henry Jenkins. Have been doing this for years...

Dr Normal: Journalism In Ferguson or Just One Big Selfie?

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2014/08/journalism-in-ferguson-or-just-one-big.html

Journalism In Ferguson or Just One Big Selfie? The movie camera has always been the boogeyman of authority and unrest. In Vietnam, color movie cameras were used-the film was shot, shipped, processed and telecined for broadcast on nightly news programs. This first. 160;with action shot by photojournalists in the field. 160;became the new normal for how we expect to watch war, conflict and unrest. We saw the impact of this through the lens of people closest to the conflict. But now I feel a new twist t...

Dr Normal: Thank You, Igal Koshevoy

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2013/04/thank-you-igal-koshevoy.html

Thank You, Igal Koshevoy. Thank you, Igal Koshevoy for the help and all you did for Portland. I will greatly miss your presence. A last minute, short message letting me know a meeting wouldn't be happening Tuesday night alerted me to something wrong. Very wrong. A few vague tweets later I could feel that something bad had happened in the tech community and a quick follow-up message "by now you probably just saw the announcement…" was numbing. Damn! I can't remember exactly when I first met Igal Koshevoy.

Dr Normal: Say Goodbye to Conferences, Say Hello to Love - XOXO Part I

http://drnormal.blogspot.com/2012/12/say-goodbye-to-conferences-say-hello-to.html

Say Goodbye to Conferences, Say Hello to Love - XOXO Part I. How cool is that, right? At a former SE Portland co-working office called Cube Space. And then Bar Camps. Wordpress Camps (a lot of camping in there) and on to larger Open Source community conferences. And Portland, Oregon has hatched several of these gatherings, large and small, with WebVisions. The Portland conference for open source citizens in its 4th year and Word Camp (Portland Edition). Launched the XOXO Festival. But a real attempt at c...
