Random websites, April 2019 edition

I have a bad tendency to let webpages pile up on my phone.  Then, every couple weeks, I screenshot them and tell myself that I'll go back and review them.

I never do.

But if you haven't noticed, this blog used to be the equivelent kind of archive... so, why not do that again?

Behold, here's what I had open on my phone up through April, 2019:

  • How to age galvanied metal: from shiny new to vintage
  • How does it work | Jolly Roger Telephone (this is a cool anti-piracy service)
  • How to control X10 devices with Amazon Echo or Google Home
  • Insecurity vs. Cowardice (a future podcast topic)
  • Marcus Buckingham on the Dan Schwabel podcast
  • Hydrocollid acne dots including Peter Thomas Roth acne-clear (I don't have acne - anymore - but this was an interesting "how to draw moisture out of skin" thing that came up for some reason
  • Focus Minneapolis at the Weisman Art Museum (which I'm going to - "Reskilling L&D - designing learning experiences your employees want)
  • Veracrypt (an alternative to TrueCrypt which we used to use at work until it disappeared)
  • VirtualCareerSummit.com - a free Salesforce event
  • great leaders have no rules: contrarian leadership principles to transform your team and business.
  • San Diego motivational speaker Patrick Combs
  • Huel - Complete food.  (I think this is some sort of powdered superfood?)
  • Febreeze Song Ad Bad Moms 2018 - I got intrigued by the Febreeze commercials on Pandora
  • "mm6323" wood - I was given a bunch of laminate flooring for free (it was from 2015 and someone hired a contractor to tear it out and replace it with T&G teak) so I was trying to look up what kind of flooring it was.  No luck.
  • The Maqbara Hermitage at lamafoundation.org - this looked like A really pretty retreat site but apparently it's incredibly expensive
  • Amazon Fulfillment Center tour - Amazon may or may not be evil, but this looks cool?
  • BodyWellness Posture Corrector; this not only looks interesting but it was intriguing that there were scam twitter ads selling knocks of it
  • all3dp.com page on printing your own bone-conduction hearing eyeglasses.  That looks cool
  • Shannon Rose Consulting - homepage of a great local consultant that I need to connect to one of my colleagues
  • TinyLetter.com "The Tourist - Volume 71" was some sort of writing about Easter and against Kant and the notion of "doing your duty".  Interesting enough to throw into Evernote
  • Tribe Workshop - something I heard today on the Ray Edwards podcast and I've got to listen to that -- seems like an interesting "online seminar"
  • Inspirational podcasts and audio stories paskahdon.com
  • 7 eternal profit boosters
  • ask live 2018 November 2nd through the fourth in Orlando
  • choosethebook.com. choose culina the single most important decision before starting your business
  • lifeisorganized.com. "you can get exactly what you want, enjoy an amazing career, life, and relationships, by taking control of your attention and focus"
  • “husband in pursuit: 31 daily challenges for loving your life well”
  • River Valley Church marriage site (we missed their spring event)
  • udemy.com "1007 official NPL practicioner ABNLP (assoc)" - i'm curious what "official NLP" is these days?
  • Expertise.TV "free forever" plan -- looks like an interesting online course platform
  • Mashabor "an entire MBA in one course - for just $15" -- I think this was an ad of some sort, somewhere
  • GetxJet.com - doesn't exist yet but is supposed to be cool when it does?  It's a Robert Murray coaching site of some sort
  • FeelReal - A Kickstarter project for a VR scent device
  • The 3 ways my ideas die from Puttylike - that one goes to Evernote for future review, too.
  • "Home office improvements that will boost creativity according to pros." from blog.skillshare.com
  • Robin Autopilot franchise.  Because I would love to have my lawn mowed robotically
  • The Happiness Curve by Jonathan Rauch - just heard about this at MinneBar
  • PASSMN Conference - coming in October, right before EDUCAUSE.
  • Target Corporate "techbites" - heard about this at MinneBar but I don't know how it's spelled and it's apparently on their intranet so that might explain why a search turns up nothing.

Passing on Panel Discussions?

In his latest podcast ( Blogarithms IT Conversations News: August 14, 2005 ), Doug Kaye mentioned an interesting anecdotal tidbit: People seem less interested in panel discussions at conferences than they do in single speakers. The panel discussions get lower ratings at ITConversations.com, and... there was some other reason he mentioned it, too. (Okay, so I don't remember. Sorry!) As I was listening to one of their panel discussions this morning, I had a thought: It was really hard to follow. It takes a lot of mental energy to keep up with who's-saying-what. And I don't even particular care about the who's-who; it would be even worse if I really need to know which person was making a particular point. Could that be what people are reacting to when they rate panel discussions lower than single-speaker talks?

Commercial comments (Blogging from Word!)

Ironically, I’ve got two commercial-related things going on in my mind right now. On the Ericast, I’ve been discussing how commercials are going to get more and more imbedded into content; I think we’re going to drift away from “spot radio” or “spot television”, and even drift away from traditional “product placement”, and move toward a picture-in-picture or screen crawl or other “embedded advertising”.  That way, you’ll be unable to avoid the advertisement… and you’ll want to see it, because skipping it would mean that you’d miss out on the content.  (Imagine, for example, a HGTV demo on sponge-painting that takes up the top 2/3rds of the screen, with the bottom 1/3rd showing things like “BEHR Paint on sale at Home Depot!  20% off!”.) I might hate living in a world filled with television that looks like that… but it probably would be effective. But, speaking of, I’ve found a program that removes commercials from MPG files!  And it really works!...
