Society's Annual Conference: Twelve Videos Posted

So far, I am the only person contributing to the Society's FriendFeed room that I created - I'm not surprised given that it's an experiment - and I've posted these 12 videos (each of them is no longer than a minute):

- Carl Hagberg & His Lifetime Achievement Award
- Carolyn Coffey on Conference Pilates
- Geoff Loftus on Latest in Society's National Office
- Bob Woodward Luncheon Speech - Priceless
- Tom Kies & John Siemann: No Rap Song (Yet)
- John Truzzolino on Getting Involved in XBRL
- David Katz on Teaching the Youth
- Brian Lane on Meeting with SEC Staff
- Nicole Sanford on Technology Swat Team
- Jim Reda on Dealing with Advisors
- Welcome Reception - Society Conference
- Rapping with J&J's Doug Chia

Thanks to these brave souls for trying this out. More than one person refused to be interviewed and I can't say I blame them. But you only live once...
