Standups On Camera

These are some of the better pieces we did at Next Agenda in which we used standup journalistic techniques to tell the stories of what was happening at a conference or meeting. They were not using full-blown documentary techniques, but quicker ways to communicate what was happening to an audience on the web who had not attended. Sometimes Leyden would be the on-camera person to interpret and explain, as in many of the following pieces. The first few ones go behind-the-scenes with the Next Agenda crews on location in Paris, Cambridge (England), as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.

San Francisco: Ground Zero for Reinvention

I’d been meaning to write this blog post after the San Francisco 49ers won the Superbowl, just a few months after the San Francisco Giants won the World Series.

“America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.

The New Political Label: “Peer Progressive”

I’ve been involved in Silicon Valley for almost 20 years now, and I’ve been interested and involved in politics for even longer, and through it all I’ve struggled to understand and categorize the political thinking of people in the tech world.
