Two Book Recommendations

by Bob Hazlett on June 21, 2009

Sorry, I’ve been quite for the past few weeks.  Ideas and inspiration come in spurts sometimes and I’ve just not really had much to say.  So rather than cloud the site with clutter, I’ve been recharging and nose deep in a few books. I’d recommend you check these two out.

6 Kickass WebApps

by Bob Hazlett on March 24, 2009

There are tons of great webapps out there today that can help you do one thing really well.  Here are a few of my favorites.

  1. Prezi – move beyond the standard linear presentation and give your next deck a stunning zooming effect.  Create maps of texts, images, videos, PDFs and drawings. Prezi is still in private beta, but they have a test tool you can kick the tires with.
  2. Fliggo – is a platform solution for creating your own video website. Whether it’s a video blog, a YouTube-like community or a private site for your company or family, Fliggo can be as much or as little as you’d like.
  3. FeedWeaver - combine multiple RSS feeds into one. Feedweaver allows you to create, filter and mashup personalized RSS feeds similar to Yahoo Pipes, but without the learning curve.
  4. Qipit - copy and share notes using your mobile phone.  Capture whiteboards or handwritten notes with your camera and they are converted into a PDF form.
  5. Pixlr – online image editor built in flash similar to Photoshop Elements.
  6. Drop.io – easily share images, video, audio, documents and other digital content using a simple and private interface.

Your Last Lecture – Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

by Bob Hazlett on October 14, 2007

Carnegie Mellon Professor Randy Pausch, who is dying from pancreatic cancer, gave his last lecture at the university Sept. 18, 2007, before a packed McConomy Auditorium. In his moving talk, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams,” Pausch talked about his lessons learned and gave advice to students on how to achieve their own career and personal goals.


This video is long, but worth every minute.
What would you say if it was your last lecture?
