According to Dan: Technology at its finest!

Welcome message

Hey look at me...I'm a blogger! What the heck is a blog anyway? The simplest way to describe it is as my personal journal that’s not so personal because I share it with everyone in the world. This blog is called “According to Dan” and focuses on:
- helping you become a better communicator
- helping you elevate your career
- Current events and life issues that got my attention
- and my golf game - maybe you can send me some short game tips ;-]

My mission is that you to will learn, enjoy, and be challenged by my posts. You may find yourself informed, amused, or even agitated, but I hope it will improve some aspect of your life.

Technology at its finest!

Speaking of my presentation at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and my daughter...

It turned out to be fortunate that she was home. My PowerPoint presentation included a 4-minute video clip of a program I'd given a few months ago. The clip was going to be an example of a point I wanted to make. Unfortunately, I forgot that in order to transfer the sound from the video, it needed to be packaged on to a CD. Big time bummer!

Technology to the rescue...I called Kelli on her cell phone and she went down to my computer, found the file, and e-mailed it to me. I was able to log on to the hotel's free Wi-Fi and VIOLA! How did we ever get by without cell phones, WiFi, or thumb drives?
