2013 video of my annual presentation, “Social Media Things to Know Before You Graduate,” which I’ve been doing at Columbia Journalism School for several years now. In addition to J-school students, we invite students from various other schools and departments to join us. The constantly-updated slides I use are at http://bit.ly/sreejobs 
[NOTE: I had a dental emergency all through this particular presentation and you’ll see and hear about how much pain I was in. I felt I could have fainted at any point. You’ll see how helpful multiple people were - just an example of the wonderfully caring & generous community we have at Columbia.]

When I was growing up in NYC, the only easily available food-cart foods were hot dogs and pretzels. Now there’s so much variety. And this Nutella-serving wonder (sweet or savory crepes or waffles for $5) showed up on Columbia’s campus today. I know what I’m having for lunch. #columbiapix

The most beautiful business card I’ve ever seen belongs to veteran Japanese journalist and Columbia J-school alum Junji Kitadai.

May is National BBQ Month. Some thoughts on this subject at #SilverDollarCity - the 1880s theme park in Branson, Missouri. We’re having a great time and some great BBQ.

WIN A PRIZE! Sometimes, it rains so hard in NYC that no rain gear can keep you dry & no photo can capture how wet wet wet it is. Here’s my feeble attempt. So I’m offering a prize for a NYC photo from today that best captures how really bad it is. Tag w/ #nycrain • sree@sree.net

CAPTION CONTEST! My entry: “I’m praying my agent doesn’t keep me going until F&F 14.”

Am all for innovation, but this is literally the last thing the world needs at the moment.
