I had the pleasure of speaking with Chris Pirillo pre-Gnomedex about a variety of subjects, some light, some humorous and one very serious – the topic of bullying and the attendant suicides.  During this discussion, I also shared my thoughts on how we as a collective society need to step up and effect change in the immediate future.  I do hope you will come and listen to my talk on the Gnomedex stage at Seattle Interactive conference on 2 November 2011 at 1400 hours (2:00pm).

The presentation is titled:  “Unintended Consequences”

Abstract:   Our social interaction has morphed to an always-on, always-available existence.  Technology now allows us to reach out and touch one and other at will on a global basis.  While most of this interaction is cordial, not all, some become overwhelmed and this leads to unintended consequences – Bullycide.  

While time may be limited, we can and should step up and make a difference – I hope to see you at Gnomedex.

Here is my piece on,

“The 34 we lost in 2010 to bullycide”

Thank you for your time.
