Hello  Lowcountry Bloggers !!

In an effort to “give back” to the blogger community that I am a part of I am going to schedule myself to try and do the roundups every other Wednesday for the next month or two and see how it goes.  Doing so exposes me to the blogger community all around me and helps to broaden my horizons and point of view.  I am hopeful that some of you who have not given this a whirl and pitched in to help will be inspired by my pathetic attempts at doing this.  You may read this and go “heck if he can do this then so can I!!”  The truth of the matter is you CAN.  Now that I have your attention and hopefully your curiosity peaked let’s get to it.

Reported in The Workbench , Reloaded:

Being a “propellerhead”  myself I was surprised to see this blog about the announcement from Google.

In a sudden, if not unexpected, announcement this morning, Google said it would release an open-source operating system based on its Chrome browser. The OS will be free, geared (at first) toward netbooks, and focused on “speed, simplicity, and security.”

‘Free’ wants to be big by Xark -  here are some snippets from Xark as he expounds on the future of social media and small content producers.

·       So these are your choices: Invest lots of money in Big and you take a risk for the possibility of getting rich. Invest a little money in Small and you take a risk for the possibility of… well, what, exactly?

Caanan introduces the Lowcountry WordPress Package

I’ve had several people ask me about package pricing lately, so I’ve decided to create some packages. First up is a WordPress package. WordPress organizes your content and applies a consistent theme to all your pages. A big plus is that you’ll be able to edit content without having to know anything about code!

The Dublin Dog Foundation

The Dublin Dog Foundation is preparing to raffle off a bike to raise money to provide a service dog to an individual with special needs. It’s not just any bike.  After 120 hours of finger-smashin’, spark-flyin’, grease-slingin’ labor, this one-of-a-kind bike and sidecar is yours for the winning! That’s right, one lucky guy or gal and their special sidekick will soon own this bike!

Josh at the Young & Free Blog wrote about the following topics

Aaaaanyway, our new poll is about exercise! How many days in a week do you actually go out for a jog, or hit the gym, or go swimming, or whatever it is you do for athletic stimulation? I’ve been doing a pretty crazy workout regimen myself for the past couple of weeks.

South Carolina Federal Credit Union’s Chief Operations Officer, Troy Hall, has actually already answered this question brilliantly with a blog post of his own on South Carolina Federal’s corporate blog, www.simplecentsblog.org!

Closed Fire Engine’s Create Massive Life Safety Issues

In the course of protecting a city, fire department’s develop a plan to meet the “MINIMUM” standards on fire protection. Engines and ladders are placed strategically based on their capabilities and response areas. A reduction creates a domino effect across the entire system.

Jared W. Smith invites us to the next SMC Charleston meeting July 14th at 6:30 pm

Hot on the heels of the first Social Media Club Charleston event, which was a smashing success (footage still to follow; progress slowed by a problem with my primary computer) comes our next meeting, a networking event at the downtown Taco Boy location (another appropriate location given that tacos are emerging as the next memefood on Twitter) next Tuesday, July 14 at 6:30. (RSVP on Facebook for the event.) Come ready to introduce yourself, network with other professionals, and get to know more of your fellow social media compatriots and share your hopes and goals for what you want out of your social media presence. The Facebook RSVPs are very promising for a good turnout. Hope to see you there.

Geoff is on the road again

It felt good to hit the road again on Monday after a little downtime in Charleston over the weekend. Unfortunately I’m still using my somewhat-crappy backup video camera, but at least I now have a new companion to operate it! Hello J.J. who’s joined me for this week through until we get to New Orleans, and so we recorded some stuff of what we’ve been up to.

The quality is not the best, and I’m not entirely happy with the production, but given the circumstance I’m just glad to be able to put something out.

Matrix size, image resolution and count density

One of the things I do with the radiology residents is do some practical labs with them, where they get to see some of the things they’ve been learning about in the classes we give them before they take the first part of their board certification exams.

A few months ago, it was a demonstration on the gamma cameras in nuclear medicine, where I attempted to show them how changing the image matrix size affects the image.

Blueyes  says “ I Think I Got Beat Up”

Monday I took an all core class at the Y which was essentially a butt kicking ab work out. Last night I did a chisel class which had some abs in it as well on top of what I did on Monday. No big deal really except my back was hurting a little bit like it always does because of my lower lumbar issues. Well, last night I bit the bullet and washed the doggies because I just could not let them stand itching another minute as it was driving me insane.

Murphy24p – Tells us about a book his boss wrote called “wasabi gospel”

What I appreciate most is Shawn’s view of things that we all deal with; he goes right at the topics without sugar-coating anything. If you are looking to examine your own faith from a very realistic point of view, this is a book you should read.
