Update (3/15/2010): I just found this simple little bookmarklet that makes it dead simple to download any YouTube video. Additionally, there’s another post here on GovLoop that links to what someone intends to be the definitive guide to YouTube with a lot of download options, software, and many other things.________________________________________I’m prefacing this post with theRead… Read more »

A Brave New Grid – The Decision
Last month I decided to close down the Public Works Group island in Second Life. Over the last 2 1/2 years, the island allowed many people the opportunity to see and explore how virtual worlds could enhance the public works industry.

OFCCP and What it Means to Me as a Job Seeker
A very common complaint at job fairs is that after all the trouble of going to the event, standing in line and then talking to a recruiter, some recruiters will say “go to the website”.

I’ve recently been lucky enough to become part of a group of fellow Canadians, who, inspired by the works of giants like Steve Ressler, Chris Rasmussen, Nick Charney and David Eaves decided that we wanted a space of our own to play in.

An open post to Govloop.ca folks about our next steps….

RecoveringFed writes on Why We Don’t Need no Stinking Rules
This is a repost from my blog recoveringfed.com If you recall my post early on regarding the lessons I learned from 25 years as a CIA manager, I was able to recall 16. (And I also promised to flesh out most of them in individual posts–still planning on it.) But I ran across this usefulRead… Read more »
I am Amver video project
Since the IMO declared 2010 the Year of the Seafarer we thought we could expand on that campaign and put together an Amver video. Amver would not be a success without the work and dedication of mariners and rescue controllers. The other part of Amver are the survivors. All of these pieces make the AmverRead… Read more »
