I’m looking for a San Francisco-based A/V professional or company who can video record my presentation at an event in September. Reliable, good quality work. Has anyone worked with someone they really like?

The new online “market me” tool VisualCV is addicting. I keep adding and tweaking. It’s just fantastic. I’ve added the VisualCV badge at the top of my blog sidebar (and copied it below for easy clicking). Take a look. Give me feedback. Start one of your own!

Guy wrote a post pointing to other examples. See here.
