Confessions of a Technology Junkie

I have to admit that I am a technology junkie – I love it. In my view, computers, software and electronics do things that even 50 years ago would have been considered magic.

I love finding software that does things better than I do it today, or solutions that save me time in my daily tasks or help me better communicate with my colleagues and clients.

Technology is also fun – networked PC games like Guild Wars, Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. One of my favourite ways to blow off steam is to sit in front of my NHL 08 on my 360 and get schooled by some 12 year old half a world away.

Well, finally, I am leveraging my addiction to technology – for good (your benefit) rather than evil (blowing off an evening in front of Raving Rabbids).

High Concept Design & Media Services is hosting our first technology summit: On the Same Page (In a Paperless World)

www.events.highconceptmedia.com

This event will have a handful of guests and will showcase a number of technologies that are available today to help companies to communicate with their clients and colleagues in a more effective manner that they do today.

Topics highlighted will include note-taking and organizing tools, tools for creating traditional art in a digital age, online project management and communication, online meetings and conferencing, representing CAD design in a model environment, 2D and 3D designs to win more business and the efficiency of using digital standards and deliverables.

What we hope to do is showcase a number of products from a number of manufacturers to help architects and engineers to make informed decision about the solutions they can incorporate into their organization to make their lives easier.

At the end of the day, technology is supposed to make your life easier not make you swear at your computer like a drunken sailor.

If you are interested in attending take a look and register – we can show you what all this new fangled technology does and even help you create a plan to integrate it into your workflow.

Unleashing our thoughts on the inter-web...

Welcome - this will be a place to talk about all things good and wholesome - I am kidding. No, it is time to get creative, and that is why we are here!

High Concept Design & Media Services has created this space as forum to talk about our interests, likes and dislikes, share ideas and generally reach out to like-minded individuals.

We will make every effort to be helpful, funny, creative and as non-corporate in this forum as we can be without generating a lawsuit.

In August of 2007, there are 3 of us at High Concept and we have backgrounds that include comic books, make-up for film and tv, graphic design, professional marketing, physics, emergency medical skills, media development and business management. Our interests include comics, motorcycles, books, movies and tv, animals, Ayn Rand and freedom in a capitalist society.

I am sure we will talk at length about these and other topics - you can learn a little about us from our websites: http://www.highconcept.ca/ and http://www.artkings.ca/

Feel free to jump into the water, it isn't too cold and there are hardly any sharks...
