The Dangers of Local Warming

written on 17 May, 2008 by Dawud Miracle

While I don’t usually cover social issues on my blog, I do care about them.

And with so many people today talking about global warming, I thought it important to touch on a subject that affects each of us who spend our days in front of the computer. Bloggers, business owners, web and graphics designers - all of us can take something of value from this video…

And, it’s hilarious…

Please, don’t thank me for the public service announcement. Just doing my job as a steward for humanity.

But really, this video could open a whole interesting discussion, huh? Let’s just see where it goes…

    Thank you Dawud. I am much wiser and shall spread the word around. After all, we must all do our little bit for addressing the problems of global and local warming

    That is, if I am able to recover from this unmanageable laughing fit that I am attacked with every time I think about the presentation.

    May TED live long!

    Think globally, act locally! I am going to get in the shower right now and take action!

  • Matthew Murphy May 17, 2008 at 1:41 pm  

    Thanks to you, I now have a whole new appreciation for the TED talks!

    Very Funny!

    I remember seeing that shaving promo when I first started learning about new media. I showed it as an example to our execs and they all stared at me with blank faces. :)

    Another issue that we bloggers need to address is the rising epidemic known as “140 Character Conversations”.

    Just the other day one of my co-workers engaged me in small talk and I struggled to understand what she was saying or how to communicate with her. Thanks to twitter, IM, text messaging, and yes, even blogging, I have completely forgotten how to carry on a person-person conversation.

    I keep limiting my sentences to 140 characters.

    Home Recording,
    I hear you. I watched it four times in a row because I just couldn’t stop laughing. Love that type of intelligent humor.

    @Stephen,
    I have too…

    Matthew,
    I love TED Talks, for the most part.

    davidtum,
    And now you have me laughing….cause it’s true. I forget too. It’s too easy to have conversations in person.

    And, long live Twitter!!
