Re: Xerox's CMO on Leading by Example in Social Media

jesshibb — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:41:12 -0000

It's great to hear that an executive at a large company is making a personal investment in exploring social media. Your genuine curiosity really shines through, and I think that makes all the difference in the positive return you're experiencing.

Along with "don't sell," I think it's really important to approach social media with a spirit of generosity. Every time I send an email newsletter or write a blog post, I try to share something valuable with the people who are reading. So many people turn to social media because they want to *get* something, instead of *give* something. Those who are most successful, in my eyes, are the ones who aren't obsessing over ROI, but seeking to help others.

Daleks need love too! (I know they're supposed to be scary, but I think Daleks are sort of cute and funny.)

Favorite companion is a tie between Amy and Donna. Both are great at putting the Doctor in his place. Maybe it's a redhead thing? :-)

I've been wondering about this show -- I love BBC's Sherlock and am interested to see how this one does. (I'll have to wait until it's on Netflix to watch the first season.)

One thing I haven't heard anyone mention ... Psych, to me, is basically the modern American version of Sherlock. Totally different, but I like that, and I think the writing is clever.

Oh man, I *LOVE* the IT Crowd. I almost physically injured myself laughing at that show ...

I knew very early on (like freakishly early in our relationship) that I was going to end up married to my husband. You know how I knew? For the first time, I could just be myself and not worry if he thought I was acting psycho. So yes, please be yourself. In the right relationships (romantic or platonic), no one wastes time thinking about that stuff.

P.S. -- I hope your next NYC trip coincides with mine! xoxo

I'm always looking for book recommendations -- This one looks interesting! I recently finished Patti Smith's "Just Kids," which was wonderful. Now I'm reading "Soulless" by Gail Carriger, which is shaping up to be fun and entertaining.

I'm really picky, too, and prefer things that are as simple as possible. I basically just wanted a table with a keyboard tray, and totally lucked out. It's part of the "cappuccino" line at Overstock, if you're interested!

I probably should have added more explanation for this conversation ... Some of the instant films I use are very temperature-sensitive, so I stick the developing photos down my shirt to keep them warm. It's turned into kind of a joke around here. :-)

I'm not into ballpoint, either, so please don't pick me! Just wanted to say that the "Need Coffee" with the skull & crossbones is BRILLIANT. I kind of want it on a warning flag that I can hang in my office.

I love seeing your Impossible film shots ... I'm currently obsessed with my Spectra camera, too. :-) How did you manage such lovely tones with the silvershade film in this hot weather? Mine always lean toward sepia when I shoot in the summer.

Sounds promising! I'm quite interested in learning about your method. :-)

Amen, brother.

It will be exciting when the TIP film is "perfected," but I think the imperfection is pretty awesome. Not to mention how amazing it is to be part of the process ... I think future generations of photographers will look back at us and think we're so lucky for being able to shoot instant films as they were in the process of being reborn.

Um, yeah. I suck at laundry.

I really enjoyed seeing your Kodachrome shots, Jake! I'm sad to see it go, and even more sad that this type of news makes me worry about the future of film for photographers everywhere. The best thing to do is just keep shooting, right?

Newton's Rings are swirly, rainbow patterns ... Sort of like gasoline in a mud puddle. I posted a close-up of some rings on one of my scans: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

You're too quick!!! Posterous is so easy that I've gotten spoiled ... Lots more cutting & pasting with Tumblr. I think I figured it out so the post looks right, though. :-)

Yay! I think the muted colors are really interesting. I can't wait to see how this film evolves. :-)

Wow, sounds like fun!

Also, I'd never heard of the Natura Classica before. But now I want one!!!

Hope you enjoy your birthday!

Re: How to deal with doubt: Take a leap

Best wishes!

I grew up on a 400-acre dairy farm in a very rural area. My high school's graduating class had less than 90 kids. Despite that, our drama teacher still took us to a Broadway show every spring, so I visited NYC more times before I went to college than many other kids. My parents believe travel and education and the arts are really important, so I didn't suffer from a complete lack of sophistication. Life is about choices, no matter what your perceived opportunities are. I think your kids will do just fine.

Another interesting note, career-wise: Growing up on a farm is always part of the answer to the ubiquitous "tell me about yourself" question in job interviews. Most employers who know anything about life on a farm are more than thrilled to hear this ... To them, it means that I won't shy away from hard work. Putting in overtime to finish a project is no hardship after you've shoveled cow poop. :-)

Re: Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Review-Video

jesshibb — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:40:45 -0000

Congrats on the new camera! I've had the LX3 since February and I really like it. I considered a starter DSLR, but most don't have video capabilities. And I already have several SLR film cameras that satisfy my desire for more artistic control. For me, the LX3 was a perfect fit as far as quality, features, size/convenience, and price. (When I bought my LX3 it was only $400 ... demand has driven the price up since then!)

Oh, another point in favor of a high quality point-and-shoot (vs. DSLR) -- If you photograph people, they act much more natural when you take photos with a smaller camera. Many people act shy or strange around big cameras, so I find I can take better candid photos with the LX3.
