I don't talk a lot about my "day" job when I get around to writing posts for this blog. But today I'm making an exception.
To pay the bills, I work as a technical writer/media relations person for Draper, a manufacturer of projection screens; motorized lifts for projectors, cameras and other AV equipment; window shades; video conferencing solutions; and gymnasium equipment.
As part of my media relations duties, I applied for and was accepted to participate in a social media effort to promote the annual CEDIA Expo taking place in September in Denver, Colorado. CEDIA is a trade association which basically promotes the design
and installation of electronic systems-mostly for the home. That is perhaps an oversimplification, but you get the idea.
As part of my role as a #CEDIATweep (yes that is what they call us), I tweet on behalf of CEDIA using one of my company's twitter handles (@DraperAV). I also write the occasional blog.
Recently I produced a blog which used cricket to talk about the need for continual innovation, and how it is there sometimes even when we don't see it. The post starts like this:
"If you ask my friends and family what I really love, probably the
first thing that will pop out of their mouths is “cricket!” This will no
doubt be accompanied by massive eye-rolling and head-shaking on a scale
not seen since I came home from college with an earring, zipper-front
Michael-Jackson-style shirt, and parachute pants.
"Because, frankly, I think and talk about it a lot. In an
obsessive-compulsive kind of way. Cricket is to me like baseball is to
many other people: full of action, excitement, strategy, and metaphors.
Metaphors for everything: life, work, kids, and yes, even projection
screens and CEDIA."
