We know you’re busy, so here are just the highlights of the interview I did with Doug Kaufman, CEO of ClearTXT. He talks to me about changes in the way schools communicate with their students. Really interesting stuff now that students have cell phones and other devices and can interact with teachers, administrators, and other students.

This is a real treat. Stanford University’s Ian Hsu setup a tour for a fairly large group of photographers. We met Patience Young, who gave us a tour of the Rodin Statue Garden, Bernard Barryte who told us a story about the Burghers of Calais, and Gabe Hoffman and the rest of the hybrid systems lab crew who showed us their quadrotor helicopters. Add in Thomas Hawk and tons of other cool photographers who joined us for the tour and you’ll not just get a great tour of Stanford University from a unique perspective but you’ll learn some photography tips from Thomas as well.
Special thanks go to our photowalkers who contributed their photos to this video:

Do you think Google is the best search engine for cell phones? Think again with Taptu’s Bob Last. He’s senior vice president of business development there and talks with me about search engines and how mobile phones aren’t well served by the major search engines from Yahoo, Google, or Microsoft.
