Mens Hockey Team Advances: CANADA Celebrates!

Below are a couple of fun Fotobabbles where you can see AND hear the energy and excitement behind the Olympics last week. It might have been cold but given the energy of this crowd, it doesn't appear anyone noticed.

See how easily you can create a talking photo, whether it's at a sporting event, a birthday party or while hanging out with your friends one evening. The possibilities are endless.

Colors of Paris on a Brutally Cold December Week

As always, I took a smattering of photos during my recent trip to Paris; it was much harder this time of year given how brutally cold it was. Blue fingers and all, below are a handful of my favorites.

Mashcast's Scott Page Paints us a Digital Rich Picture

At the 140 Character Conference, Mashcast's CEO Scott Page (also former sax player for Pink Floyd), talks to us about mashing digital rich content, such as video under one platform to create incredibly creative personalization - mainly of brands.

Listen to what they're doing and where they're headed. Take a look at the customization they did for me, as an example of some of the things they can do - copy, paste and replay baby. It's very slick.
