Unbunching Your Digital Panties: Dealing with Conflict on the Web

On March 7th Reno hosted its first Ignite event, put on by the Reno Collective and I got to do a presentation because I’m so awesome and know so much about the web. OK, while I actually do buy into both of those statements, (serious- have you met me? I kick ass. You probably do too, though.) I don’t take them all that serious.

I know a little about the internet, and how people use it. There’s lots of us out there who claim to know stuff about the web. Some of us work on it in some way, and some do it for fun, but most all of us have at least one thing in common: we can be insufferable douchebags. For this reason, I crafted this little presentation to help all of us get some much-needed perspective.

A couple of notes:

  • My slides didn’t keep switching every 15 seconds like they were supposed to! Luckily Colin was right there to actually click them manually.
  • A couple times I use the term “social media expert” about myself and the audience, but I really don’t see myself as any sort of expert, and I abhor most social media. It was just quicker and easier to use that in reference to the slides.
  • Colin Loretz is the man for putting this on and all of the people who presented did great. I can see a lot of good coming out of this in the future.

If you took the time to watch it, thanks. Why not leave me a comment too so I can know how important I really am.

    Hey, nice presentation. And now I’m worried that you patterned that butt drawing after me.
