In March of 2010 I moved my website from here to a new host and under a slightly different domain name, DigitalSplashMedia.com or DigitalSplashMedia.net. If you’re seeing this page, you’ve likely reached it from an external link. To see the most up to date DigitalSplashMedia site, go to www.DigitalSplashMedia.com.
I’m hoping to launch a revamped version of this website soon, hopefully this weekend, and I wanted to add a short video explanation on the new site to explain why people should use video explanations on their websites. So, I came up with this short little teaser.
I just published my latest video explanation – The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative is setting a pathway to transform Hawaii into a model for energy independence and sustainability. This animated infographic video explanation covers the main points of the initiative. If you’re writing a blog article or story about the [...]
Whether you’re developing a presentation, a screencast or an explanatory video, a key piece of advice you’ll hear over and over again is to develop a script and storyboard for the project before the actual production phase. This is something I’ve tried to take to heart in my presentation, screencast and video projects.

The new MEDB web site
While I’ve been heavily focused on explanatory video projects lately, I’ve also been kept very busy on web projects for one of my main clients, Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB). I started doing web work for MEDB back in 2005, redesigning several of their websites. In 2009 [...]
Today I published a new explanatory video about critical thinking called “Do You Think?”
Noticing increasing societal polarization, especially political, where people are bombarded with “facts” and opinions by pundits and experts, I’ve felt frustrated that so many people choose to blindly follow their pundit of choice like rats following the Pied Piper, without really thinking [...]
Wordpress started out as a blogging platform but become a full blown Content Management System allowing you to create and publish your entire website with it. But, by default, Wordpress home pages display your blog articles, and often times you might want something different for your home page, some static content perhaps.
There’s a pretty simple [...]
We’re living in a time of information overload and complexity, inundated with too much information and too little time to get through it. I believe that visual explanations, such as video and online presentations, will be an important tool for organizations to convey their message, whether that’s selling a product or advocating action of [...]

I’m in the process of developing an online visual explanation SlideShare presentation about plastic water bottles and ocean pollution for my blog SaveTheOcean (and to share with other Ocean advocacy organizations). I’ve liked both Cliff Atkinson’s and Nancy Duarte’s presentation development methodologies, but for some reason have still felt the need to combine [...]
The LightCap 200 online presentation is a presentation I developed for Sollight. Using the service Slideshare.net, product presentations can be developed and then easily shared over the Internet. These online presentations are easy for other websites and blogs to embed in their own online articles. In the same amount of space that a blog or [...]
As a web and multimedia developer, I work with photos provided by clients to incorporate into websites on a daily basis. A common problem I run into is that a lot of people don’t understand some really basic things about digital images. For example, I’m often provided photos that are way too small for the [...]
Every visual thinking blogger in the blogosphere is going to be blogging about it, but it’s just so damn cool that I have to do it too. Information Architects have just released their Web Trend Map 4. Popular domains on the Web are mapped to the Tokyo Metro and [...]
At VizThink ‘09, Ole Qvist-Sorensen challenged the audience during his general session presentation, “Survival Academy: Imagining a Better World with Visual Language, Thinking and Practice,” how we as visual thinkers could contribute to saving the world by putting our talents to work on global problems. That struck a chord with me, so one of [...]
