Dan Roam’s European training – Plus an analysis of his video

On the January episode of the Forge, we talked with author and visual thinker Dan Roam about visual thinking and how it helps make our ideas and communication clearer. Dan let us know about an upcoming opportunity. He's hosting a Visual Thinking training this summer in London and Berlin (Sorry for everyone in the US, but if there's enough interest, maybe we can convince him to do one stateside. Or you can check out our interview with Dan or his Napkin Academy). Register for Dan's training London Continue reading

What are sessions like at ScreencastCamp?

What's unique about an unconference or BarCamp like ScreencastCamp is that the content of the sessions is always a surprise! As an unconference newb attendee in 2011, I will admit being a bit nervous about the whole thing. "You mean, people just show up, talk for awhile, and a conference agenda emerges?" Yep, that's about how it works. It's a bit of a leap of faith, but when you've seen it happen once, it's easier to believe it will happen again. Which is why I thought it might be helpful Continue reading

Thank You for 25 Great Years!

Think back 25 years ago. It was 1987. What were you doing? TechSmith was just getting started and opened its doors in 1987… 25 years ago today, on February 28th. Technology has changed! Think about all the technology that has come and gone in 25 years. Computers were running Windows 2.0 in 1987. The Macintosh SE had just been released. The World Wide Web wasn't even around until 1990! It's hard to imagine a time before that. The first release of Snagit came in 1991, Camtasia was released Continue reading
