I believe I have caught up on all scheduled Podcast appearances, interviews and what not. If anybody reading this thinks that I owed them a Podcast appearance or some interview questions, hit me up.
There are a set of emails I have where people are essentially asking me to write 20 page speculative papers so they themselves can work on a project and I consider those completely out of band and I will either finish them or not
Also, when a journalist writes me at 10:00 a.m. and tells me they need to get a response from me by 3:00 p.m. because of a deadline, I traditionally responded 4:00 p.m.
Sometimes 4:00 p.m. the next week

OK, time for FIVE MINDBLOWING FACTS ABOUT INTERNET ARCHIVE which I'm doing purely to get people to donate archive.org/donate - people ask me all the time where we get our funding, and outside donations by users is a huge part of it, and December is fundraise month.
Fun fact you might not know about many non-profits - if they don't show they are supported and contributed to by many outside folks, they get investigated, since they might be some sort of (whispers something about money), which some amount of non-profits are. ANYWAY
MINDBLOWING FACT #1: The Internet Archive is believed to be the only datacenter with a fully functioning pipe organ. (Donald Knuth has been a player of the organ on several occasions.)

My retweet is 10% about distributed Web and 90% about the fact that you should know about Wendy
She has a resume that would normally read in a voice over in an action film, and a few years ago she joined the archive and was the fulcrum that caused us to completely change our public image. She works 4 times as hard as I do
And her big passion project on the side and is gathering up all of the information on Japanese internment camps and making sure that the archives and other sources have copies for the next 100 years

Well, my dispute of the claim they have the copyright on the song has come back with the musician (or the company they work with) claiming they own it, so they just became an example of the current state of things, and I'll be talking about them a bit.
The dispute comes from The Orchard Music (theorchard.com/music/), on behalf of Omeros.net, which is the website of Ricardo Sweatt Rodriguez. (@rsrodriguez). So it's not the artist doing it, it's the artist selling or sharing their song over to a conglomerate.
Ricardo absolutely put his song on a CC-BY website in 2004. I have a whole variety of songs from the explicity open-licensed site at the time. Obviously, this was 15 years ago, but hey, all those musicians are delighted for 70+ year copyrights, right? So later it got sold.

Practical way of approaching an #Interview.
(A guide to an exceptional performance for your next interview.)

Thread.
1. Know your resume like the back of your left hand.

Ever gone for an interview and you blank out when asked the question “tell us about your background?” Don’t worry it happens to most of us.
Or they ask a question related to a part of your resume and you begin with “erm erm”
As simple as it may seem, knowing the entire info on your resume from your objectives to your experience gives you 'un-matchable' confidence.

It’s okay if your resume was drafted by a professional CV writer. You should still take time out to digest its entirety.

1) Confidence can be elusive as we journey through life & our careers. Doubt, low self-esteem, & a lack of emotional control undermine our ability to deal with adversity or failure. It also limits our willingness to take the actions necessary for #success. #ThoughtOfTheDay
2) Most people believe that you are born with confidence – either you have it, or you don’t. This belief is why so many people hold themselves back from ever reaching their true potential. #success #LeadershipDevelopment #careeradvice
3) What if there was a way for you to build your #confidence? What if you could learn how to believe in yourself so you could leverage all your skills and talents? What if you could make a difference in your community or become a leader within your organization? #Questions
