Last month in NYC the first U.S. Pictoplasma festival took place, and was a great success. It is a festival celebrating the world community of creative character design. I've always loved character design, from the time I was making little cat statues out of Fimo, to when I was in fourth grade drawing characters on the back of my grandma's business cards (inspired by Mary Engelbright, so 80's), to all the money I spent on various character's products at the Sanrio store.

While I was late to the party learning about this festival, I did follow all the blogging, articles and twitters on it while it was going on. Uber-talented people and speakers participated, and there is an amazing Pictoplasma Flickr Set and discussion group about the festivals, which take place all over the world.

It's so inspiring, but I get so lost in looking at everything, it can also be time consuming! Enjoy!

     I really didn’t even think about it until I got to D.C., until my boss asked me, “So what do you want to do, here?”  Suddenly I responded, “Well, I’d really like to go see the Hmong-Lao memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.” It must’ve come out of my sub-consciousness, because right after I said it I thought to myself, “Yeah, I really would like to go see it.” 

     She and I were in D.C. for a conference, and we had some time before our flight out to do some sight-seeing.  However as suddenly as I had responded that I had wanted to go, I hesitated.  Maybe it was just my nerves, but for a moment there I was actually scared to go see the memorial in person.  After a few moments of reflection I made up my mind that I had to go see it, because I was already there in D.C. and who knows if, or when, I’d get another chance to come back.  So we made arrangements to stop by on our way to the airport.  While in the taxi I finally realized that this wasn’t a dream, and that I was really on my way to Arlington National Cemetery to see the Hmong-Lao memorial.

     You must understand that I’m a very passionate character, looking back now, this simple detour to the airport amounted to somewhat of a pilgrimage for me.  All my life I’ve done as much as I can to achieve the hopes and dreams that my parents have set forth for me.  I’ve done as much as I can to learn about the wonderful culture and heritage that I belong to.  I’ve done as much as I can to honor the struggles and sacrifices of those who came before me.  So you must understand that for me, it was an opportunity that I’ve never had before, a chance to pay my respects to all of the Hmong men, women, and children who gave their lives for Freedom’s cause during the CIA’s Secret War in Laos.

     Walking up the road to the memorial there were white gravestones as far as the eye could see.  My boss and I walked up together through groups of tourists, and school children.  We noted the other memorials that looked similar to the one we were looking for, all modest, blocks of concrete with square, bronze plaques on the top.  When we found ours, it was covered with grass trimmings, probably from workers mowing around it.  After brushing them away with our hands, we stood there for a few seconds in silence.  Then my boss took my picture next to the memorial.  I put my left hand at the top of the memorial, and held a pin of Arlington National Cemetery that I had bought at the gift shop in my right hand.  We took another picture just of the memorial and then I said a few words of grace before we made our way back to our taxi.

     It was the absolute purest spiritual experience of my life, and I just wanted to share it with you.  Hopefully you'll get to see it in person also, one day soon, if you haven't already.

The plan is to give a talk entitled something like "Individual biological differences and models of value-based decision making" (PDF). which hopefully will also soon be out as an article. Comments are of couse welcome. Here is the abstract teaser:

Neuroeconomics is the scientific, multidisciplinary study of value-based decision making. Recent advances in methods and findings in cognitive neuroscience have gained attention and influence on our understanding of the basic mechanisms of behaviour. With the advent of two new paradigms in cognitive neuroscience – imaging genetics and the cognitive neuroscience of ageing – the focus of brain-behaviour research is turning towards the study of normal variation and individual differences. As such, insights from these approaches hold the promise to provide a more detailed account of value-based decision making. In addition, this understanding may provide the means to induce short-term and reversible alterations in decision behaviours. In this paper, we present and discuss these insights and how they may inform the neuroeconomic study of decision making.

Here is Brigham with the cast after the show.

And with me, his biggest fan between shows.

We enjoyed the four sessions of conference with a burning fire, way too much food, great family bonding and lots of APPLES!  It's harvest time at our house and we've got apples EVERYWHERE!  So blessed with abundance!

I meant to send this out to friends and family prior to conference and never did.  Well, here it is-a kid packet for conference.  Maybe it could be used as a review of conference somehow for tonight's FHE.

Stephen Covey spoke Friday at a multi-school Honor Code and CES conference.

Covey is best known for his work with the Franklin Covey organization and his best-selling book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People."

In the first event of its kind, Covey spoke to CES administrators and student association leaders from BYU, BYU-Hawaii, BYU Idaho and LDS Business College.

Covey's thoughts centered on an individual's divine origin and potential and the potentially negative effects of society on development. He compared the process to a kind of identity theft.

"The great identity theft is the cultural DNA," Covey said. "It's the overlay of the culture people are raised in that obscures their true identity as children of God."

Weaving together principles found in his book, Covey told students of the importance of finding solutions to their problems based on three great spiritual examples: The home and temple, the process of restoring the gospel and the life of our Savior.

Covey compared the task of finding solutions to the job of a physician and warned attendees to diagnose problems before assigning prescriptions.

Brad Graham, president of the Student Honor Association, said he appreciates the chance to learn leadership, teaching, being effective and leading with the Spirit.

"It's an opportunity for the church schools to be taught and to collaborate to better serve their student bodies," Graham said.

Jamie James, human resources director for the Student Honor Association, said he was impressed with the personal nature of the speech from a man accustomed to much larger audiences.

"He did a great job personalizing it all on a spiritual level," James said. "It's great to get ideas of how to help students abide the honor code."

The speech came a week before the Student Honor Association prepares to publicize their "respect" campaign, a campaign that will be greatly influenced by the remarks of Covey and the proceedings of the conference, James said.

Covey taught previously at BYU and prefaced his remarks by sharing with attendees what he missed most was "interacting with the students."

First off - the conference. It was pretty good - a three day event, with a good mix of operators, vendors and various unclassifiables like myself. I'd guess 150-200 people in total, with good attendance through the days. Format was a mix if speaking slots and panels, and overall it was very interactive, with good engagement between those on the stage and those in the audience. That always makes for a good conference, as you tend to get more from discussion than lecture. This is true also of the coffee breaks and lunches - where often some of the best information and learning occurs. 

Now - on to RCS itself. I am now officially worried about it. At a high level, that's because the Telecom Industry process struggles to move at speed.

[Rant alert]

In this case, RCS was kicked off in late 2007, and is still hoping to be in real phones (as an implemented standard) in 2009. If it did this, it would be a minor miracle in itself, as that's FAST in telco-land. This is because you have to get multiple stakeholders: operators/carriers, handset-players, and equipment and various software providers to agree (via a standard) on a common agenda and move from specification to implementation via comprehensive interop-testing in as short a time as possible. Often, that short time is three years. So as I say, 2009 would be a good result.

However, it's just not fast enough any more. Right now, people are being actively educated about presence, availability and messaging, not by Orange, or Vodafone, but by Skype, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, among others. They don't call it presence, or whatever. You just find your buddies and set your status. By the time the first RCS-enabled handsets are out, many, many users will also have become used to using these in a mobile setting: using fring or Truphone on the iPhone, or Nokia phones, or others.

My point is, when RCS ships, one of the first and valid questions from every target user will be: Does it work with my [AIM ; Google ; MSN ; Yahoo ; Skype] buddy list? No?

Um, FAIL, as the trend is to say now :-)

Seriously: people won't be asking: can I see everyone's status on my phone book and does it interoperate across carriers and is it free of roaming charges. Just - does it work with what I've already been doing for 2, 3 or perhaps 5+ years. If the answer is no, then the service has a major adoption problem that is not being addressed. Google, Yahoo and the others need to be supportive of RCS. Someone from the relevant body needs to be talking to them now and finding a win-win between RCS and their services (and I think there are some). 

[Rant over]

So - back to the conference. it really was very good - there was excellent discussion around IMS and RCS, and candid questions (such as the above interop issue with the Internet Giants) were asked and discussed, even if no conclusive answers were found. The progress on the standards work has been fast by industry peer standards. I genuinely think that the RCS initiative has a chance of succeeding, and I applaud its attempt to ensure that rich interoperable services work day one on our cool new handsets in late 2009. I'm just concerned that this will end up being too little, too late, and that the Internet players will have scorched the Earth well before then, and moved on to the next battle.

The slides from our talk at the conference are here.

Information and communication technology has fundamentally changed the relationship between teacher and learner. The teacher is no longer the sole provider and mediator of educational resources. High quality content - often produced by prominent institutions and renowned academics - is at the finger tips of anyone with an internet connection. Additionally, learners can participate in learning networks and online communities, also reducing the central role educators have in the conversation around curriculum.

How do these two trends change the roles of teacher and learner? This session will explore how trends in ICT impact education through the lens of social learning theory. Discussion will focus on emerging metaphors and models for learning in a globally networked world.

We're going to take megabus on the way there and the train on the way back, and I'll be staying in a hostel for the first time in 8 years (perhaps with all the other traveling Germans) (but Germans love me, so it's ok).

People are surprised that I'm skipping school to go to the conference, but I couldn't pass up the chance to immerse myself in my potential future professional world.

The East Paulding MS Raiders were defeated by the South Paulding MS Panthers 19-38 in play on Saturday.  Sperm had limited play mainly on punt/kickoff return.  EPMS just did not come to play missing numerous opportunities.  Plus, the referees called a poor game missing several key calls involving potentially injury-inducing tackles.  His father did shout a lot and lost the majority of his voice.  The Raiders are 3-2 going into their final game with McClure MS on the road this Saturday.

And I would be remiss if I did not mention the #20 Team FINALLY won at Talledega six second-place finishes.  It appeared Tony would have to take second again after a pass from the 6 car however, the 6 passed illegally below the yellow line to gain position and was forced to 18th after a penalty.  Go Tony and #20!  I am glad he was able to get that win.  Let's hope he gets the opportunity to visit Victory Lane next year as part of the #14 team.  Also, Goodyear once again had issues related to tires.  I said it a while back and I'll say it again - FIRE GOODYEAR!  (Somebody must be providing some good p**** or c*** to someone at NASCAR for GoodYear to be around this long!)

Yes, despite the fact I was having a beer in a bar in Augusta, GA, I still watched the Palin-Biden debate on Thursday.  Frankly, I saw nothing in the debate that persuaded me to vote one way or the other.  However, I will say the following:  the word "maverick" is now annoying; Biden's eye-tuck and/or facelift looks goofy - sort of like Joan Rivers; Palin's constant "hockey mom" persona is a bit boring now.  I was going to early vote, but I think I will wait.

And speaking of Augusta, the conference went very well.  I was able to make some new friends, hear some good discussions, and enjoy the nightlife.  Oh, and I got a great run in with one of my friends.  We ran along the riverwalk on the South Carolina side of the river.  We estimated 5-6 miles and I think the best thing for me was that I was able to keep up with my friend who has run a marathon!  But one observation -- please teach people how to give presentations and not read everything from the f-ing slides!  How boring!  Overall though - a great conference.

Image via Wikipedia

We are "borrowing" an idea from NECC for the first time this year as well.  We call it (with apologies) Blogger's Corner.  The concept is for a comfortable, informal place for people to get together and network, brainstorm and learn.  During the two days of the conference we will also offer some "mini" session (about a half hour long) on things that don't get touched in the conference or are just not big enough to warrant a full hour session.  We hope that the extra opportunity to learn and the relaxed environment will encourage people to come.  I guess we will find out!  The first one is at 11am today.  I don't expect more than a person or two, but it's a first time thing so hopefully it will go.

I'm sitting in my presentation room now waiting for my first session of the day.  I'm presenting on our new tool for online classes called Adobe Connect.  It's a great tool but it is replacing a tool everyone is used to so there is bound to be a little resistance.  Hopefully this presentation will grease the wheels a bit.  After this one is over I am all about Web 2.0 for the rest of the conference.  Intro to Web 2.0, Twitter, Social Bookmarking and RSS are the rest of my sessions.  After the dust clears I am going to try to post all of my presentations (and hopefully those of my counterparts) on a Wikispaces site.  I will give it to you when I set it up.  If I forget, feel free to remind me!

We are exactly 30 days from the National Conference! Y'all better make sure you register on time (and save yourselves $25)! I can't wait to see you there (it'll be my first conference, National or Regional... so I'm stoked).

On other news, this week, I'll be putting up a couple more pictures (admittedly, I'm plugging the UPR Section). I'd like to see what your sections are doing (and I'm sure the whole Region would love to see what you're up to, as well).

And, as they say in Puerto Rico, lo prometido es deuda (what you promise, you owe): I've started off this week with a post from Ashley Malinowski - one of Region D's SWEFLs (SWE Future Leaders).

Enjoy! And y'all have a SWEet week!

Di động băng rộng 3G trên thế giới

Hiện nay, trên thế giới có hơn 760 triệu thuê bao trên các mạng 3G. Tăng trưởng của các thuê bao băng rộng 3G đang bùng nổ và tăng tốc. Theo hãng phân tích Strategy Analytics dự báo, năm 2012, 3G sẽ chiếm 92% thị trường băng rộng di động. Năm 2009, doanh thu từ thiết bị 3G trên toàn thế giới sẽ đạt 114 tỷ USD, và dịch vụ 3G sẽ đạt 394 tỷ USD. Trong khi đó, theo dự đoán, năm 2009, nhà cung cấp thiết bị WiMAX trên thế giới sẽ chỉ đạt 3 tỷ USD, khai thác dịch vụ đạt 7,4 tỷ USD.

Các chuyên gia trong lĩnh vực thông tin di động đều nhận định rằng chúng ta không nên nhìn nhận 3G như một công nghệ hay giải pháp mà đó là một môi trường mới có rất nhiều giải pháp khác nhau trong đó CNTT và viễn thông cùng cộng hưởng và phát triển. Công nghệ 3G sẽ tiếp tục phát triển, với những cải tiến đúng lúc cho dung lượng lớn hơn và tốc độ dữ liệu cao hơn để hỗ trợ vô số dịch vụ thoại và dữ liệu, trong đó có các dịch vụ được quan tâm nhiều như: video-nhạc, thoại chất lượng cao, chơi game với thời gian chờ thấp, tải và trao đổi đa phương tiện, từ điển, dịch vụ hẹn hò trực tuyến, chatting, trình duyệt web tốc độ cao, điện thoại video, phát hình nhiều hướng...

Ngoài các ứng dụng phổ biến trên,  3G còn giúp các doanh nghiệp triển khai hàng loạt các dịch vụ trực tuyến mới như dịch vụ tiếp thị di động giúp các doanh nghiệp quảng bá sản phẩm, dịch vụ và tạo tính tương tác với khách hàng; dịch vụ phóng sự di động giúp người dùng gửi video clip hoặc ảnh với mạng 3G, viết blog video và chia sẻ với cộng đồng..., những dịch vụ này đã tạo sự khác biệt và hấp dẫn thực sự với người sử dụng trên thế giới, đồng thời mang lại những lợi ích lớn cho các doanh nghiệp.

Nội dung là yếu tố sống còn để phát triển 3G tại Việt Nam

Trong khi thế giới đang thay đổi những ứng dụng hằng ngày với 3G. Việc đi sau trong triển khai 3G tại Việt Nam được các chuyên gia xem là một lợi thế, khi chúng ta có thể vừa học hỏi kinh nghiệm, vừa được sử dụng những trang thiết bị 3G đã được chuẩn với giá thành rẻ hơn so với những năm trước đây.

Trong số bảy nhà cung cấp dịch vụ di động của Việt Nam, ngoài hai mạng đã sử dụng công nghệ CDMA để triển khai và cung cấp dịch vụ 3G là EVN Telecom và S-Fone ở băng tần 450 và 800Mhz, ba mạng sử dụng công nghệ GSM là VinaPhone, Viettel và MobiFone cũng thể hiện những lợi thế nhất định về thị phần. Thêm vào đó, G-Tel với một đối tác có khá nhiều kinh nghiệm trong việc triển khai tại những quốc gia khác. Do đó, tất cả các nhà khai thác dịch vụ điện thoại di động tại Việt Nam hiện nay đều có tiềm năng để triển khai và cung cấp dịch vụ 3G với hiệu quả tốt.

Việc triển khai 3G ở Việt Nam sẽ tốn kém hàng tỷ USD. Để giúp cho việc triển khai thành công 3G tại Việt Nam, các chuyên gia viễn thông đều cho rằng, đã đến lúc các doanh nghiệp phải bắt tay vào xây dựng nội dung cho 3G nhằm cung cấp nhiều dịch vụ gia tăng trên điện thoại di động khi đã có băng rộng. Đồng thời, các nhà cung cấp thiết bị cũng phải đầu tư công nghệ để hạ giá thành các thiết bị đầu cuối, giúp người sử dụng có thể sở hữu điện thoại 3G ở mức giá rẻ nhất.
Theo bà Vũ Thị Minh Hoàng, Trưởng Đại diện của Tập đoàn Qualcomm tại Việt Nam, hiện nay Việt Nam có hơn 20% dân số truy cập Internet, nhưng mới chỉ có 2% truy cập băng thông rộng, 18% còn lại chính là khoảng trống mà khi 3G xuất hiện có thể bù đắp được.

Khi 3G đi vào hoạt động tại thị trường Việt Nam, sự đầu tư của các nhà khai thác cung cấp dịch vụ 3G được cấp phép là quan trọng, nhưng nội dung mới chính là vấn đề sống còn của ứng dụng 3G. Xây dựng nội dung cho 3G là việc của cả xã hội chứ không chỉ là việc của riêng các nhà khai thác. Trong đó, vai trò của các doanh nghiệp vừa và nhỏ là vô cùng quan trọng. Như vậy, bài toán đặt ra là làm thế nào để thúc đẩy được toàn xã hội tham gia phát triển ứng dụng, nội dung cho 3G?

Di động băng rộng 3G - Động lực cho sự phát triển ngành ICT tại Việt Nam

Mục đích của Hội thảo Di động băng rộng 3G - Động lực cho sự phát triển ngành công nghiệp Thông tin và Truyền thông tại Việt Nam là tạo ra diễn đàn để những nhà cung cấp dịch vụ di động băng rộng  3G hàng đầu trên thế giới chia sẻ những kinh nghiệm, bài học, những thành công về việc áp dụng công nghệ 3G trong lĩnh vực thông tin di động. Ngoài ra, Hội thảo cũng nhằm đưa những lợi thế của truy cập di động băng rộng trên nền 3G hỗ trợ cho sự phát triển của ngành công nghiệp ICT cũng như ngành truyền thông tại Việt Nam, thúc đẩy sự phát triển các dịch vụ băng thông rộng trên điện thoại di động.
