How would you use google glass to help promote small businesses?

We’re back from google.  It feels almost like a dream, except we have some cyborg-like technology to show for it! 

New Idea: Small business POV videos - where the artist or craftsperson wears glass and demonstrates their unique talent. 

The last pic is one we took to submit to IT Crowd’s call for photos.

Stay tuned for more updates and videos from sunmaistudios and Abigail Spyker.

I Dream of Wires, A Documentary About the Modular Synthesizer

via laughingsquid

As the lead videographer and documentarian on the Sylvan EcoHouse project, my role is anything but static. The architect, Robert Mechielsen of Studio RMA, specializes in Carbon-Neutral Design & Construction Technology.  In this video he takes us through one of the early renderings of the house (built in Google Sketchup). When we didn’t see an clear way to export videos from SketchUp, I used Screenflow to capture my screen and record the Architect taking us on this little tour.

We're filming the slab pour at the Sylvan EcoHouse today

Today is a big day, and anyone that knows Portland knows we’re very lucky to have the weather’s cooperation! Visit the link above if you want to learn more about this house or SCIPs construction.

Google Glass videography of your business?

As a videographer and web developer, I can imagine Glass Tours would draw some attention.

7th Annual Barcamp Portland - four days away!

I’ll be attending my first ever unconference on Friday.  I’m excited to check it out after falling a little in love with the idea of Open Space Technology and the widsom of crowds.

What is BarCamp?

BarCamp is an international network of user-generated conferences. BarCamps are open, participatory workshop-like events whose content is provided by participants. Topics often focus on but are not limited to early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, open data formats and other DIY/hacker/open culture themes.

At BarCamp, there are no spectators, only participants. Attendees should prepare a demo, a session, or help with one, or otherwise volunteer / contribute in some way to support the event. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. BarCamp participants help to select the topics they want to see and talk about.
