I really do have some awesome posts planned, just no time to write this week. So instead, I thought I’d clean out my virtual cupboards of some goodies for you. Don’t look for a theme, these truly are "small pieces very loosely joined" (nod to David Weinberger.)
First, some science fiction. Torchwood begins its second season on 1/26 on BBC America, and a few more trailers have surfaced. Official trailer. Two scenes from the first episode. Warning: As Twitter pal Dave Parmet and I discussed yesterday, Torchwood is DoctorWho with the naughty bits (his words) and without the most annoying David Tennant (mine). In other words, expect to see some adult relationships of all sorts in the show. And on these clips.
Battlestar Galactica is (finally) due back in April, and spoilery bits are starting to surface on YouTube. Here’s the latest one.
Now, unfortunately, I will not be able to watch Torchwood on the 26th because I will be at the Sundance Film Festival. Tough break, huh. I’ll have more information for you on Monday, but the short version is, I have a new client who is premiering a film during the Festival and I will be going out for the launch party on January 25th.
Speaking of Sundance, be sure to check out HP’s Backstage At Sundance blog. Longtime readers will recall that I helped develop this blog two years ago. Last year, they started featuring videos of impromptu performances by musicians attending the festival, a tradition I believe they plan to continue this year.
BlogHer Business and New Comm Forum are both fast approaching. At BlogHer, I will be speaking, including a case study from a client project. More on that when the agenda is published. At New Comm Forum, I will be moderating an "Alumni" Panel during lunch on the first day. We are inviting attendees from previous years to share a social media/ new communications project or campaign that applied the knowledge they acquired at New Comm Forum. The criteria are pretty simple:
- you attended a previous New Comm Forum;
- your project was done sometime in the past 18 months and you are free to share information about it;
- you’ve never spoken at a previous New Comm Forum.
If this sounds like you, contact me at sgetgood@getgood.com or twitter.com/sgetgood.
Finally, colleague and friend Kami Watson Huyse has a great post today — an interview with John "Pat" Philbin, the senior communications person who took the heat for FEMA’s fake press conference last fall. You can read it on her blog or listen to the full interview at For Immediate Release.
My virtual cupboard is now pretty bare. Meatier posts next week. Promise!

Maybe I’ve led too sheltered a life – but I still wonder how Jack and Ianto managed to destroy that stopwatch during one of the naughty bits…and really looking forward to “Spike” in that encounter.

Funny that I have connected to both Dr. Who of late and Torchwood too. I think the additional cast at Torchwood make it interesting. Mixing in the American into the UK cast is good. I do think it has more interesting things going on but I haven’t watched it enough to get a sense of where it’s going.
