October 1, 2011, members of The Tennessee Democrat Party gathered for the “Jackson Day 2011” event. The theme for this year’s event was a tribute to former governor Ned Ray McWherter. This video is more about more how one person can make a difference than politics. I recorded it while sitting in the audience. There were over one thousand attendees at the event and Russ Anthony 411 was there to show you a part of it. Other videos from other Jackson Day 2011 events are coming soon.
My latest video is Russ Anthony 411 Promo. This short (59 seconds) video illustrates some the components of social work technology that make make this so rewarding for me. I have put together a few clips to highlight how social work technology can aid social workers in helping people and making social service agencies stronger. It was also a lot of fun to put together. Perhaps it will also inspire someone to increase their use of technology toward helping others. Feel free to leave a comment and or a suggestion. As always, thank you for visiting RussAnthony411.org!
Computers have come a long since email began. Click here to watch part six of the Evolution of Communication video series from Anthony-Denmark Communications. We often take the communication technology we use today for granted. Besides new products and services are introduced at a rapid pace. Watch as Nicholas Holland, CEO of CentreSource Interactive Agency, slows it down for you in Evolution of Communication. This is a series of short videos that explains how humans have communicated since the beginning of time. In Part Six: “Email”, Nicholas explains how the invention of email was a major shift in the way people learned to communicate. Evolution of Communication – it’s something to talk about.
Coming soon: Part 7: Text Messaging
Social Work Technology is like…

Several of the videos that I have posted have contained the name “Anthony – Denmark Communications” or “Anthony – Denmark Productions”. Anthony – Denmark Communications is the name of my business site where I work with community services to video, computer and event host/voice talent to marketer their messages to funding sources and potential clients. Russ Anthony 411 is a community service site that I use to showcase social work, technology and other useful information.
I started “Anthony – Denmark Communications” on March 11, 2011 and made a quiet announcement to family and friends on my personal Facebook page. It is amazing the flurry of activity that has taken place since that time. It is so crystal clear in my mind now the meaning of the phrase, “Do what is your passion”. Your paasi0n is something you would do if you were not getting paid. In fact, it is something that you would gladly pay to do. I have a full-time job doing other work. I am so grateful and thank that I have a job that allows me to spend money on my passion. Doing the work you can watch and read about on this site is my passion. It is something that, at times, I gladly stay up all night doing because I feel that I do not have enough time during the day to get it all done.
Before, I thought my passion was to become a radio announcer. Did that, liked it but it wasn’t my passion. Then I thought about being a electrical engineer, was on my way, liked it, but it wasn’t my passion. Financial Planner? No. Network marketing? No. Retail management? No. University administrator? Nursing home director? Insurance sales? No. No. No.
It was the path that led me to social work that made me realize that I enjoy having a job that helps others. Social work is hard work because the people we assist are getting the help that they cannot get easily elsewhere. I can see now that, gradually, I have been on the path to helping others through the use of technology for a long time. Is so clear to me that I can use the experiences that I have gained over the years to assist a variety of community programs and their customers.
Whatever course the rest of my life may take me. I want to remember how I feel at this moment. A moment where it feels like there is so much more work to be done in this field that I call social work technology. I will post a fuller description of the meaning of social work technology in the future. However, it is the field of social work that uses computers, video, the Internet and other electronic means to improve the effectiveness of social programs and better the lives of the people they serve. In short, social work technology is a tool used by social workers to improve the lives of others.
So the title, “Why ‘Russ Anthony 411’ is the Logo for Anthony – Denmark Communications” means that I always want to remember where I started (Denmark, TN) and where I found my passion (Anthony – Denmark Communications).

By the way, if you really enjoyed your job, wouldn’t you pay to do it?
Russ
