January 12, 2011 we were hit with yet an other snow storm. The timing of this one was not to bad. People home from work. Snow came after midnight. Many stayed home from work to let road crews do their job.
It was a heavy wet snow that made for a pretty morning. This is what I woke up to..
Today here in New England was was the the aftermath of the Blizzard of 2010. Everyone was cleaning up what nature has left us over night. My son helped me do the same. This is a fun video to document the Blizzard of 2010.
“Nothing Runs Like A Deere”
Here are some examples: Don’t travel, stay home, Charge all your portable devices, Have non-perishable food & water on hand, alternative heat sources/plenty of blankets, batteries, flash lights, battery operated radio/television, emergency generator if you have one. Blizzards are serious business, do what you need to do to be safe. And when it comes time to remove the snow, pace yourself. If you have any medical conditions don’t be shy ask for help. We here in New England are a hearty bunch and stronger than most in our own way. Be smart!

On December 17, 2010 my friend Joselin Mane of Boston TweetUp hosted the second annual MegaTweetUp2 at the Microsoft Nerd center in Boston. At last count there was approximately 500 people that were registered for the event.
There were so many activities going on all at the same time you had options to venture into one or more of them.
Once you registered with the team of MegaTweetUp greeters and made it down the grand staircase, multi-tasking became the word of the day. People we tweeting, creating media, photos, videos, content, updating facebook, photo galleries, checking in on Four Square and so much more. There was live entertainment and short presentations by some of Bostons social media best explaining how to… in a flash style format.
I had the opportunity to stream the entire event live to the internet, conducted a few interviews as people stopped in to say hello and see some of the technology I was using. You can see the entire recorded stream at BruceKGarber.TV on demand. Just click this link then the red carpet.
Here are a few photographs of some friends that stopped by.
Note: I drove to the event with my good friend Ben Spark who happen to be the official photographer for MegaTweetUp2. He has posted a link to some of the 500 photographs he recorded. Here are Bens links:
