Chris’ Pic o’ DaDay #2
Posted by cheuer in PicO'daDay on January 3rd, 2007
I captured a few really great shots of both Ele and Ana this day with some good light on our back deck – just playing around really. This one was not even seen through the viewfinder – I just held it down in front of Ana’s face and snapped a few. I through in a little bit of edge blur with iPhoto and voila – a great portrait of Ana that really shows off the beautfiul Tortie markings that made her and her sister the cute ones to save from the shelter in Alexandria, VA.

Interesting perspective – great to hear constructive feedback from people involved in the space and paying attention to what we are trying to accomplish.
Chris’ Pic o’ DaDay #1
Posted by cheuer in PicO'daDay on January 2nd, 2007
In making some choices about the media I produce over the last few weeks, I realized how much joy I get from capturing good photos – and how few of the ones I think are good get any attention. So I am going to work hard to do at least 200 Pic o’ DaDay’s for 2007 – where I can showcase some photos I have taken and a short story behind them. So here we go…
I took this shot on Christmas Day 2006, from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. Kristie wanted to take a walk on the beach, which was still partially covered with snow. The angle was just right and the BLUE was breath taking. While I did not get a picture of them, there was a Winnebago from Canada in the parking lot just to my right – the smell of freshly cooked sausages was really strong (and yummy). For a few more of Lake Tahoe this day, click on the photo or just click here…
Rolling into 2007, Still Behind the Eight Ball
Well, I am still behind with all the tasks I have to complete, but I am rested and energized for the task we have ahead and diligently working at developing systems that will make sure they get done, we get caught up and that the road ahead is a bit easier to manage. Thankfully, client projects slowed enough to let us make some major progress on getting Social Media Club organized, but there is still a ton of stuff to do. We will be sharing news on all of this before the week is out, and I will hopefully be back to writing on a regular basis – in fact, I will be writing a few new regular columns for SMC as well as creating a few new podcasts.
I have also taken on a project with my good friend Livio to serve as executive producer on some amazing video he has been shooting while traveling the world as a Modern Nomad, which is extremely exciting – I actually get to test my media mettle on incredibly compelling, entertaining and educational content that does not directly deal with technology! In fact, I am looking for a couple of great digital video editors, preferrably with Final Cut Pro HD expertise, to help get the video produced on a regular basis.
We were also fortunate to take some time off, spending some quality time with my better half in Lake Tahoe, at our shared Ski Cabin for Christmas (more to write on that later). We did not get many photos because our Canon Rebel was in for repairs and we only had the little SD400 (more to write on that later too), but there are some pretty fair ones on my flickr account…
Bottom line, we have a lot to do, but are busy doing it. While we have been silent for the past 2 weeks +, we have been very active and are very excited to start sharing it with you as we start to work together towards our common goals. I hope you also had some good time off, some good time to contemplate the year ahead and some good times with those who matter most in your life.
Now, let’s roll out and get it done…

Social Media Club will be a form of a Knowledge Market – as with all great ideas, there is a lot of work in this area that already exists which will be helpful in explaining the nature of our community of practice….

Interesting discussion on innovation – more to talk about here for sure…
Heading to the Great Northwest…
Posted by cheuer in Social Media Club, Uncategorized on December 4th, 2006
By this time tomorrow morning I will be on a plane on my way to Portland, then Seattle on Wednesday and Vancouver on Thursday – just about a day in each city before flying back on Friday afternoon just in time for Chris and Kristie’s Wine-a-palooza Holiday Extravaganza. I have a few time slots to sit and chat if you are interested in saying hi. I am looking forward to seeing many of you on the road and many more here at my house later in the week… More details are in this post I wrote over at Social Media Club on the NW Round Tables.
