announce that I’ve added four new lecture topics to my growing list of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/presentations/" title="Thomas MacEntee genealogy lectures">genealogy presentations</a>:</p> <ul> <li><strong>After You’re Gone: Future Proofing Your Genealogy Research</strong>: Have you ever considered what will happen to your years of genealogy research once you’re gone? Learn how to ensure that your hard work carries on. Through a combination of planning, common sense, and new technologies, we’ll review how to create an action plan for preserving your genealogy research.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Genealogy: The Future Is Now</strong>: Do you have trouble keeping up with technology, especially programs, apps and websites that other genealogists seem to be using these days? You’re not alone. After a quick review of how much has changed in the past 30 years, you’ll learn what’s hot, what’s now and how to prepare for the genealogy technology of the future. Participants will gain more than just an overview of current technologies used in genealogy; they’ll understand how to seek out new technologies and determine what works and doesn’t work for their own genealogical research.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Scarce New World: Will Privacy Kill Genealogy?</strong>: Learn the history of privacy and our ancestors and how the changing perceptions of what should and shouldn’t be kept private will have a serious impact on access to records for genealogical research in the future. Our ancestors lived very public lives – anything they did once they left their home was fodder for public consumption. And thankfully so since we now have access to a multitude of records. But did our ancestors realize that those records would be so easily accessed 100 or more years later? And what about the current move to restrict access to frequently relied-upon records sets – will there be anything left for 22nd century genealogists to research?</li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>Wearables and Genealogy: Wacky and Wild or Worth the Wait?</strong>: What if you could wear a device that would tell you all about a person as you stood in front of their gravestone? What about a device that told you that a DNA match was attending the same genealogy conference? These ideas may seem too futuristic, but they are available now and waiting to be used by genealogists and family historians. As technology advances, the Internet is being made personal in the form of wearable devices. These devices can not only track how far you’ve walked, what you’ve eaten and more, they can also present information when you are in front of a gravestone or a historical site. Learn about Google Glass, Smart Watches and in-development devices that are slated to become the next new genealogy tools.</li> </ul> <p>Speaker’s rates are negotiable depending upon format and number of presentations given. In addition, topics can be customized for your specific needs.

While the typical sources include looking at similar businesses and looking at many blog posts, articles and online content, every so often you stumble upon something that makes you go “whoa.”</p> <p>We’re not talking that cute inspirational saying that you re-tweet or a motto graphic you share with your Facebook friends or pin to a board on Pinterest. We’re talking something you take to heart, you study constantly, you actually order as a poster for your office . . . and you marvel at not only its complexity but also its simplicity. Such is the case for <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/https://www.corita.org/component/content/article/21-information-in-education/19-corita-kent-art-rules.html" rel="nofollow" title="Sister Corita's Rules">Sister Corita’s Rules</a> (click the image above to embiggen).</p> <h2>Who Was Corita Kent?</h2> <p>Corita Kent was an artist and a nun in the order in the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She was also an educator and taught art at the Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles, California whose work in the field of serigraphs had a profound interest on modern art in the 1960s and 1970s. It is likely that you’ve seen work by Sister Corita although you may not realize the name of the artist.</p> <p>For more information on Sister Corita, see <a href="How a Screenprinting Nun Changed the Course of Modern Art" rel="nofollow" title="http://gizmodo.com/how-a-screenprinting-nun-changed-the-course-of-modern-a-1412576274">How a Screenprinting Nun Changed the Course of Modern Art</a> (via <em>Gizmodo</em>).</p> <h2>Sister Corita’s Rules</h2> <p><b>Rule 1</b></p> <p>Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while.</p> <p><b>Rule 2</b></p> <p>General duties of a student:<br/> Pull everything out of your teacher.<br/> Pull everything out of your fellow students.</p> <p><b>Rule 3</b></p> <p>General duties of a teacher:<br/> Pull everything out of your students.</p> <p><b>Rule 4</b></p> <p>Consider everything an experiment.</p> <p><b>Rule 5</b></p> <p>Be self-disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them.<br/> To be disciplined is to follow in a good way.<br/> To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.</p> <p><b>Rule 6</b></p> <p>Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There’s only make.</p> <p><b>Rule 7</b></p> <p>The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all the time who eventually catch on to things.</p> <p><b>Rule 8</b></p> <p>Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes.</p> <p><b>Rule 9</b></p> <p>Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think.</p> <p><b>Rule 10</b></p> <p>“We’re breaking all of the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that by leaving plenty of room for x quantities.” John Cage</p> <p><b>Helpful hints</b>: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything it might come in handy later. There should be new rules next week.</p> <h2>Where do you find inspiration?</h2> <p>Whether you’ve started your own genealogy business, or you’re an amateur genealogist – what inspires you and where do you go for inspiration?</p> <p><em>©2014, copyright Thomas MacEntee</em></p> <div class="printfriendly pf-alignleft"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/inspiration-sister-coritas-rules/?pfstyle=wp" rel="nofollow"><img style="border:none;-webkit-box-shadow:none; box-shadow:none;" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723im_/http://cdn.printfriendly.com/pf-button.gif" alt="Print Friendly"/></a></div></div> </div> <div class="tags"> Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/tag/marketing/" rel="tag">Marketing</a> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <p class="meta"><span class="date">04 March 2014</span> ~ <span class="comments"><span>Comments Off</span></span></p> <h2 class="title"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/genealogy-selfpublishing-bootcamp/" title="Join Me for a Genealogy Self-Publishing Bootcamp!">Join Me for a Genealogy Self-Publishing Bootcamp!</a></h2> <div class="categories"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/category/genealogy-education/" title="View all posts in Genealogy Education" rel="category tag">Genealogy Education</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hidefgen.com/category/technology/" title="View all posts in Technology" rel="category tag">Technology</a> </div> <div class="entry"> <div class="pf-content"><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://hackgenealogy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/self-pub-bc.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1566" alt="Self-Publishing Boot Camp" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723im_/http://hackgenealogy.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/self-pub-bc-300x300.jpg" width="300" height="300"/></a></p> <p>[<em><strong>Editor's Note</strong>: Readers of High-Definition Genealogy may not know that I also run the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132723/http://www.hackgenealogy.com/" rel="nofollow" title="Hack Genealogy">Hack Genealogy</a> website which covers the latest in technology for genealogists and family historians.

After being laid off from a 25-year career in the tech industry in 2008, Thomas has been able to “repurpose” his skill set for the genealogy community and loves to see other genealogists succeed, whether it is with their own research or building their own careers in the field.</p> <h3>How To Register</h3> <p>Ready to join in this great educational event?
