A Video Tour of My Office


By Brett Kelly — Follow him on Twitter

That’s right, ladies and germs - my first video post. A couple of caveats:

  1. I’m really awful at shooting video, especially with a hand-held camera.
  2. I mumble like a yammering idiot with a head cold who finished his fourth martini right before a ride on the tilt-a-whirl on the last day of the county fair.

(Corporate types call that “managing expectations”).

Anyway, here you go:

I neglected to mention the fine Field Notes Steno book upon which my headphones are resting.

If you’re curious about the various and sundry goodies that appear in the video, I’ve made a Greatest Hits collection of them in the form of the Bridging the Nerd Gap Approved Resources list.

Happy weekend everybody!
