about mike dunn

a quick & easy way to follow my online activities is via friendfeed or google glemak…

my name is mike dunn (bio), and you’ve stumbled on to my wordpress blog, which i started so that i could learn about and experiment with wordpress - my primary blog nomadic audio which i’ve had for years, is hosted by typepad - it is more emerging media technology focused on podcasting, media industry, technology trends and career stuff vs this blog which is much more of a personal journal about my experiences w/ wordpress initially but then will be more focused on say dogs, sports, snowboarding and other lifestyle/family related stuff (wasn’t that the original concept behind blogging)…

so my background - i am an emerging media technologist with over 25 years of experience in media, technology and internet related industries, mostly as the cto or lead technologist - while i’ve worked for lots of very large companies, i’ve always enjoyed working with small or startup organizations, either as an advisor, consultant or outside director…

i’m a published author on the art of being a cto, an emmersive technologist (meaning even though i normally am in a senior management role, i work hard to stay connected to the leading edge of technology via direct emmersion in the experience)…

i’ve spoken at numerous conferences on a variety of topics over the years, if you’d like to contact me regarding some event - pls feel free to email me w/ the details…

an example of a recent talk i gave on podcasting and social media is available via this pdf…

some examples of things i enjoy presenting on and talking about are:

future of enterprise technology (like what infoworld focuses on)
being a cto (in a small or large company)
venture technology due diligence (like what i currently do)
emerging media technology trends (like mit review)
social media, podcasting & videoblogging (see my other blog)
enterprise 2.0 (ross has a great take on this)
traditional media industry’s future (see my media pov in the right sidebar)
surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking (personal interests)
