22 different reporters/anchors on one screen? I’ll take WSBTV for $400 Alex.

My head hurts. Yikes.

Was SnapChat eyeing out Eyebobs’ logo? I smell lawsuit! #SMEM #SnapChat

Posted on January 5, 2017 by rusnivek

Sounds like SnapChat is getting sued by Eye Bobs.

I guess I can kinda see it, but they are in a total different business right?

Well, kinda. Hardware is sorta the same.

TMZ was the first one to post the story. Direct link to their story here.

BTW-if you see the Spectacles machine, LMK. I want one.

And this is why we can’t be BFFs Facebook…

Those in the industry should understand the seriousness of this aggressive notification.

Stop being so creepy Facebook.

Children’s book on Hurricane Watch

Posted on January 2, 2017 by rusnivek

Since it’s quiet in the office today, I’ve been assessing a few new kid preparedness and teaching tools.

Do you think Melissa has one on “Hurricane Warning” too?

Teach your kids about being safe and heeding all warnings from your local National Weather Service (NWS) office, Emergency Management officials, and public safety professionals.

Hello to January 2017!

Posted on January 1, 2017 by rusnivek

December was relatively busy but say hello to January 2017!

In the first week, its paperwork mania! As usual, we have yearly update classes that needs to be completed and mandatory inservice training.

Second week, I’ll be headed to the State of New Mexico’s Department of Heath to teach Social media. For my friends in Region-6, I also need to figure out if I’m a green or red. Hmmm.

Third week, I’ll be presenting at the huge PIO Conference in Franklin County (Columbus), Ohio. Working the PIO magic with Jennifer Ciaccia and Erica Creech. It’s a huge conference with tons of participants. Do you want to attend? Just email Xenia (xeniapalus@franklincountyohio.gov ) for more deets.

Fourth week, I head back to St. Clair County Michigan to teach social media. If you remember, these are my peeps who participated in the big Cause IV experiment with the Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Canada’s Public Safety on a cross-border full scale exercise in 2016. Excited to see my peeps again!
