Welcome To Synergy Publishing! Home to information about
computers, technology, philosophy, and social networking... all
served up with generous helpings of kindness. My name is Doc (aka
Dave Dockery). I'm the proprietor here. Park
yourself in my little corner of the Internet.
I'm President of the Tampa Bay
Computer Society. We are a 1,300 member technology and
computer user group located in Clearwater, Florida. Our claim
to fame is that we repair our members' computers for free. We
also have the equipment necessary for our members to convert their
VHS tapes to DVDs as well as to digitize vinyl records, cassette
audio tapes, and 35mm slides. Finally, we are one of Pinellas
County's premier technology training facilities.
Are you Interested in Kindness? I'm a true believer when
it comes to practicing daily "random acts of kindness". My
kindness blog is known as
Doc's Kindness Café.
Feel free to drop on by to read my musings on Kindness.
I speak to a variety of business, civic, and technology
groups. Predominately, my speeches tend to be instructional in
nature: Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook, Internet,
Technology, and Social Networking. However, I also speak on
subjects like kindness, shifting paradigms, the future, mind
mapping, and human connectivity.
It's always pleasant to receive the occasional honorarium, but
I do not charge for my speeches. I'm more interested in
helping people to use the marvelous tools that we have at our
disposal. While I'm not at all opposed to making a profit, my
heart lies with nonprofit groups -- "people who want to change the
world, need the tools to do it."
My most popular speeches at the moment:
"Social Networking Boot Camp" - for those who feel a bit
overwhelmed by the onslaught of websites like Facebook, Twitter,
Meetup, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc. etc. etc., this seminar doesn't
address HOW to use these utilities, this seminar is about WHAT they
do and WHY you would use them. Attendees come away with a
broad overview of their options to help them focus their efforts.
"Technology: Today and Tomorrow" - I highlight the marvelous
technologies that we are using or will use in an educational and
entertaining format. This speech can be as long or as short as
the time slot available.
