My Most Popular KeriBlog Video (so far)

While this is super great, imagine how many hours went into say, Exploring the CDN Navy.

This was the first take, therefore this video took mmmmm 20 minutes to upload time.

There’s probably a lesson here, for you or me, I don’t know which.

UPDATE

I received an email saying I was wrong about the above, and turns out I am!  My Watch a Ford Focus Park Itself video has 12,500 views.

I Was Meme-d

Ha!

This is the Strutting Leo meme:

He has been photo shopped into several scenes that usually depict a catastrophe or terrible happening, similar to Disaster Girl. DiCaprio is shopped into the scene, as if he could have stopped the incident or helped people nearby, but instead continues throughout the scene doing his jolly strut – KnowYourMeme.com

Alistair made that for me last week, and sent it over Twitter ahahaha YES I love memes.  Thanks you xo.

I Hope You Know General Hillier

He’s Canada’s best ever General, and former Chief of Defence Staff – the Canadian Forces highest rank.

I’m not fangirling here, that’s his repuation.  Ask a soldier, that’s how you know.

And given it was Canada Day Weekend, this seems fitting.

I was invited to the Art Of Leadership conference, see the full set of speakers here, you’ll know some. I’ve said before – they’re quality conferences.

I’ve attended many conferences over the years, one time I went to Internet World 1999.  Imagine something called that happening today?  Ha.

Not surprising is whom I worked my day around, having only time to see one speaker ;)

Meet General Rick Hillier at his website here, and watch him on The Hour here.  Read a good article about his accomplishments and mode of operation here.

He spoke about leadership, and enamoured the crowd.  You’d be too, he is magnetic.

Know what’s weird?  I took copious notes throughout… and they’re gone.  I’d emailed them to myself, I don’t even know how that’s possible.

‘Leadership’ by General Rick Hillier

Thanks for having me, Art of Leadership!

I’ll leave you with this:

Thank you Canadian Forces, for doing a job I could not, so I’m free and safe to skip around Canada having a blog and making videos and doing as I please.
