It’s been an exciting two days so far. We’re going to see LOTS more social integration with broadcast media this year. Everyone is talking about transmedia storytelling, telling stories with brands across different platforms in traditional & new media. Mobile everything. I’ve learned about some really neat technology in 3D that is really freaking cool. No glasses and the most real picture you have ever seen. I hear sports look absolutely amazing. I’ve got a couple minutes in my hotel room before my Blackoptek treat mate Darren Pereira is on the panel about Social TV. Panel starts at 3pm Calgary time. Panel is Social Television: Ways to Engage, it’s gonna be a good one. Deets here: Larry King isn’t coming tomorrow night for the award show. I was hoping we could hang out. Oh well, off to next panel! Hope you’re having an awesome day. If you are in Banff and see me, make sure you say HI! Check out these horses I saw this morning!

This week flew by and the next two are going to b e the same. LOTS happening this month. Neutral tones & grey were popular colours in my posts this week. Not many bright colours like last week. Pinterest Viddy Instagram Came across a neat tool for looking at your Twitter stats. I love looking at this stuff. I never think about the stats when I’m publishing so looking back at trends, patterns & stats is cool. Based on my last 4,000 tweets I publish approx 59.2/day and one of my tweets is retweeted about every 10 I publish. There’s lots of sailboats on the lake today. We’re heading to the airport in a couple hours flying WestJet into Calgary about 11:30pm. I’m stoked. Had a great prep-talk with a friend I look up to last night. Ready to kill it in Banff. I’m coming for you Alberta, the world!

Creativity is waterfalling. Clear head, open mind .The next ten days are CRAZY. Banff World Media Festival, NXNE, MMVA then to Detroit with Ford and it’s July. I’ve been practising for this for a long time. Legggggggo! Mum sent me an email about this earlier today.  Such nostalgia.
