On a recent trip to Japan I meet a new friend Koyama Yoshiyuki. He owns a local cafe and plays music guitar. On a night out at the cafe Yoshi-san (as he like to be called) played a few songs for me and gave me permission to record him for internet use. Thank you for listening to my new friend.

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..
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:

Scott turned the camera on me today at our monthly Boston Media Makers meeting. I spoke to the group as Scott so appropriately called it “A Look Back”. It was my look back to a “A Year In Review” 2010 with respect to social media and my accomplishments. At these media maker breakfast’s we talk about what were doing now, ask a question or share information that has interest to the group. Today I wanted to share what I did and do especially to the new people to the meeting as a way to encourage them to follow their passion.
See you on-line!
Is this fair use?
