My first coaching experience.

I have a life off outside of the internet that takes me to interesting places, doing interesting things. Most recently I went to Las Vegas to coach my sisters ultimate Frisbee team. I hadn’t done much coaching before and hadn’t really considered it to be something I thought I would really enjoy (because I really enjoy playing). It turns out it’s not only a ton of fun, it’s also super rewarding, both for me and the ladies I was there helping.

It was a 3 day tournament, it was rainy, and it was in Vegas – I note this because of how bad those 3 things are combined for a tournament, but how good they are for seeing how good a player is and how good a team is. Imagine trying to throw a disc, now imagine doing that in the rain, for 3 days, after a very long evening in Las Vegas – You see my point.

I brought my camera along and snapped some photos, you can see all of the photos here, or you can watch this montage of photos in the video that I made below.

I guess summer has begun.

Last week I went to a wedding. My Mom’s. She and Susan have been together for 12 years, 6 with a civil union, which is so much more peaceful than an uncivil union (much less expensive too).

Then I got back to SF, went in to work for a few hours then headed up north to Stone Lake Farm where I camped for a couple nights, and helped move some stoves around. That was an oversimplified explanation of the weekend.

Seesmic du Jour Season 1 ended. Below is the last episode. It’s crazy that it’s over now, I don’t know how I’ll be able to count how long I’ve worked at Seesmic now. Just imagine having a video archive of every day for the past 168 work days. For me, even though it was not a show about me, it was a show that I was there for every day. I shot it, I edited it, I came up with ideas for it, then at the end of the day, every day, I posted it all over the web and blogged it for Loic. And now I don’t. That is a crazy feeling, but it’s also a ton of weight off of my shoulders. Now I can use my creative energy on other Seesmic production projects.

All signs point to summer. It’s time to unlock the creative box and get some projects going. I have a few in mind, tell me what you think.

Break out the sewing machine and get crafty.
Edit some personal videos as well as videos for friends and family.
Write and read some Screenplays. I’ve never done this, but I think it would be fun.
Focus full time on Ultimate Frisbee.
Focus on my online persona, building Whit Scott as a brand.

I’m open for suggestions.

Brief thoughts before leaving

Tomorrow I leave for Italy. This is definitely a trip for pleasure, not work or anything else. Claire and I will be playing Ultimate Frisbee on the beaches of Italy for 4 days straight – this is often one of the best weeks of the year.

Just now Claire and I watched a video posted by an online friend of mine Christian Payne. His blog is here if you want to go check it out. All of Christian’s videos that I have seen have been quite compelling, from the funny stuff to the serious stuff, you’ll always watch his work all the way through.

After watching his video I feel that posting about our trip is quite insignificant as far as world events go. So if you’d like to learn more about what we’re doing you can check out last years blog post for Paganello here. I’ll be taking video while we’re gone, hopefully it’ll help you better understand what it is we’re doing at the tournament.
