More than you want to know

Livestream has got to be one of my favorite places on the Internet. You name it, from National Geographic to a local radio station, it is being broadcast to the world through Livestream. And what I really love about Livestream content is the simple fact that this alternative content is easy to find and watch. [...]

IBM back on my mind.

My father worked for IBM so this company was a part of my life for many years. But I always thought of IBM as this big faceless company that made mainframe computers. Yes I know they had been a big player in personal computing but that never stuck with me, and not them either. Then [...]

Education at what cost?

As a university graduate and university professor I am constantly struck by the number of people who should have access to higher education but don’t. There are many models of alternative education and each has its place. Shai Reshef founded University of the People in 2009 and I think this is a model that we [...]

Great Conversations are Worth a Million

This was a conversation I had with Dr. Naif Al Mutawa who joined me for a conversation about the latest developments with the 99 super hero series! This conversation took place in 2010 but feels like yesterday. The power of the spoken word to touch, motivate and inspire never ceases to amaze me.

Old School

This is a really cool post. We spend a lot of time thinking about career options and that usually takes us off in some far flung direction. Web design, app creator, conference organizer… and then there are the things we don’t even know about yet. But what about all the things we just use and [...]

I think the beauty of social networking is the ability it has to bring strangers together to collaborate, or people who would not normally work together.

Get Motivated!

In September I will be taking on the challenge of being the 1st chair of the Department of Mass Communication at the Canadian University of Dubai. The 1st question people ask is why am I leaving Zayed University after 12 years? Zayed University has been a great place to work and a fantastic personal innovation [...]

Innovation in Everything!

I think, I know that we all need to be thinking about innovation in everything we do. Of course we don’t or we like to say we are not innovative. The biggest failure today in pretty much every industry is failing to see the ability to innovate what we do. And education is top on [...]

Full Context Publishing

We all have a book inside of our heads, maybe you have more? The problem we are constantly faced with, as we think about the ideas and information we want to communicate, is that the ideas and the delivery vehicle have come to be separate. What we communicate and how we communicate have become so [...]

The Sound of the UAE

I have been teaching a practicum course at Zayed University in Dubai called Zayed Media Lab since 2003. This course has changed a lot since we first started it, but it has always stayed very true to the core idea of combining what has been learned in the curriculum of the communication college to real world [...]
