Here's a bit about what I'm working on, circa December 2007...

My column Innovation Economy, appears every Sunday in the Boston Globe. It covers technology, life sciences, and venture capital. My own tagline for the column is "What's New in New England." There's also a video component to it each week, and a companion blog, both of which are fun to do.

In March, I published the second edition of my book, The Future of Web Video: New Opportunities for Producers, Entrepreneurs, Media Companies and Advertisers. (It's available in both paperback and ebook form.) I'm still shilling for it, though, in opinion pieces for the Los Angeles Times, and also on NPR's "Talk of the Nation." My next book, "Inventing the Movies: The Secret Technological History of Hollywood," will be out in 2008.

That's me with Alyssa Stern and Shayne Gilbert, the two people who make the Nantucket Conference happen every spring.

I'm also in the midst of helping to assemble the agenda for the ninth edition of The Nantucket Conference, which will be held next May, and preparing for a number of other events in 2008, including a panel at the Sundance Film Festival and a new gathering, the working title of which is "The Conversation: Inventing the Future of Visual Storytelling."

If you're trying to contact me, that information is here. (E-mail is always best, unless it's exceedingly time-sensitive.)
