    Join lbobi for a live blog of the Super Bowl commercials

    Welcome to the first annual lbobi Super Bowl live chat. 
    Hosts: Jeff and Allison Rodgers
    TIme: 4:45pm


    I love watching the Super Bowl solely for the commercials. I know this may shock some and alienate most of the male readers but I don't like sports. There, I said it. I am hoping I am not alone in this and you would like to chat about the commercials as they are being aired. So please join me and my bride Allison Rodgers as we live blog during the game today.

    How it works: 
    I have a live chat embedded here on the site for you to view while the game is on. Allison and I will critique the commercials and I will also be pulling in any interesting commentary from @AdAge (Advertising Age Magazine) and any relevant tweets from the #brandbowl hashtag. 

    What will make this extra special cool is for you to make comments as well. Either post them right here in the blog or tweet and include the #lbobiparty hashtag.

    Would you like to watch the SuperBowl commercials with me?

    A lbobi open Invitation to all my non-sports friends who watch the SuperBowl only for the commercials. The die hard sports friends are invited as well, but don't expect insightful comments about Roger Staubachs best play of the day.

    This Sunday I will post a CoverItLive live stream here on the blog. This will allow everyone to talk as a group in real time as we critique the commercials. Ideally we will keep the commentary of the game to a minimum and focus on the real reason I watch the SuperBowl, the commercials. The half time show is also a great source of derision usually. 

    Are you going to join me?

    A CoverItLive example I posted during the Apple iPhone4s announcement. It works really well and even works on the iPad.

    lbobi Radio Ep. #33: What I learned at ImagingUSA 2012

    In this episode of lbobi Radio, Brian and I discuss the trip to ImagingUSA that Allison and I made last week. We went down early for Allison to teach the 3 day pre-con class for PPA's Studio Management Services. I also go over what I took away from the convention and Brian and I brainstorm about new lbobi community projects we can start over the next year.

    Imaging USA free iPhone app

    Hey guys!

    Who is going to ImagingUSA in New Orleans this week? We will be there all week (we being Allison and myself). Allison is teaching a three day pre-con class for PPA's Studio Management Services. We are not doing a platform talk or lbobi trade show booth this year so I get to wander the trade show floor to my hearts content. 

    I may actually get to see other speakers this year! To this end I have loaded the new IUSA iPhone app. It works very well. You can see a map of the trade show, what classes are being taught and by whom. Then you can star what you want to see and just look at the starred list.

    This will make planning much easier and since I don't plan or even keep up with a map I will be very happy with this app.

    The Hobbit and 30 RED EPIC cameras

    Surely by now you have heard that Peter Jackson is revisiting the world of Middle Earth to film a two part prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit. If you have NOT and you are not half the geek I am, then you would have missed these very informative production videos from the set.

    There have been 5 videos so far but I really wanted to focus on the 4th one for you. It shows that Jackson purchased 30 RED EPIC cameras at $58,000 a piece. That's close to $2 million dollars if my math is correct. 

    Why does he need so many cameras? He is shooting the film in 3D at 48fps. Watch this video for the full scoop. If you are not cool and Hobbits don't hold your interest then scroll to the 2:50 mark and watch Jackson take the audience on a tour of the camera rigs.

    lbobi Radio Ep. #32: The App-Internet




    What is the App-Internet?

    Well I am glad you asked. Simply put, it is the future of the internet.

    In this episode Brian and I discuss what the internet of tomorrow, will look like and tell you what you should be looking for. The idea for this episode was inspired by the talk I posted last week by George Colony from Le Web 2011.


    Music by the talented Jeremy Horn



    Merry Christmas and happy all the other holidays (for Brian).


    Jeff,

    App Internet: A term you will hear a lot in the future.

    A VERY interesting talk about the near future of electronic devices. George Colony of Forrester Research gave this presentation at the LeWeb 2011 conference. One of the most interesting concepts he puts out, "the App Internet". This is referring to the next wave of technology. We are already seeing it now but it is only going to become more prolific. It's the linking of powerful new processors, cloud based services and app enabled devices. You see this on the iPhone (smart phones), cars, new televisions, appliances etc.

    For further reading on this subject read this article by John McCarthy "Mobile App Internet". 

    "The combined spend on apps and services will be $US 54.6B a year by 2015. The shift to the mobile App Internet disrupts basically everything you thought you knew about building, delivering, and managing applications."

    lbobi Radio #30 already? Wow, time flies. Mother Nature caused a two week delay in recording  but we are back on track now.
