What I’ve Been Up To Lately…

October 26, 2009

Last week I sent out a promo – the first one in a looooong time – and the responses surprised me. More than anything else, the emails I got back were along the lines of “Where have you been?!”…

I thought I’d make a video to explain.

The purpose of this video is twofold…

First, it should explain [...]

100 Inches of Pure Awesome

October 19, 2009

I wanted to share a “little project” (you’ll see the irony in a moment) I’ve been working on for the past 3 weeks.

Ever wondered what it would take to turn a room in your house into a true “Home Theater” with an HDTV Projector? There’s tons of information online about it. There are also a [...]

It’s Not You, It’s Me…

October 9, 2009

I wish I could say it is you, but then I’d be lying… and that’s just not cool.

Twitter has overwhelmed me. Somewhere along my path I came to believe that in order to be a kool kid on Twitter I needed to follow everybody who follows me.

Now I’ve come to the conclusion that “reciprocal following” [...]

We Live In A Guitar Hero World…

September 29, 2009

I’m shocked these words are spilling out of me onto this digital canvas I call my blog, but it needs to be said.

Things are just getting too easy.

I think it was John Carlton who taught me the 10,000 hour rule. It goes something like this… to become the best in the world at [...]

Customer Service Sucks @ Sears… well, sorta.

September 3, 2009

Given what recently happened to my friend, blogger, and internet mom Dooce, I felt it was time I publish the Sears saga on my blog. Plus, we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of the event, so what better way to dredge up the hurt feelings, sordid past and overall ugliness than… write up [...]

Fix, Create or Learn – how to spend my day…

August 28, 2009

Okay, it’s Friday and I admit I’m procrastinating… horribly.

By hammering out this post to you I’m also working on getting my creative juices flowing though, so either way it’s gonna serve a purpose. (at least that’s how I’m justifying it in my own mind)

Time Management.

There are walls of books in the library and aisles [...]

Business Strategy Destroys Your Business… Strategically

August 20, 2009

We’ve all heard the hype…

“Apple is a game changer!”
“The government is going to revolutionize US healthcare!” (ahem.)
“Wal-Mart destroys their competitors!”

Business gunners — thinking companies with the best strategies — win, so they start going on their little retreats and coming up with “breakthrough” strategic advantages to:

“Make boatloads of money!”
“Gain market share!”
“Destroy the competition!”

Then they go [...]

The Social Media Party

August 14, 2009

Last night I had one of those great conversations with my sister. When we get on the phone together we can talk for hours (probably because we don’t talk often enough, huh sis?)…

The subject last night was one of my favorites recently… Social Media.

When I was in Vegas I had the opportunity to meet Perry [...]

Redefining “Telephone Teller”

August 11, 2009

I used to think it was cool to text PayPal and have my balance sent to me immediately. Then I “upgraded” and installed the PayPal app for the iPhone which gave me even more detail… But now USAA has upped the ante with their new iPhone app that will let you deposit checks from your [...]

Amazing Video

August 10, 2009

Very rarely do I get moved by an online “viral” video, but this is absolutely incredible.

Canon just came out with a new digital camera that can shoot HD, full-frame 21.1 megapixel photos AND 1080p (true HD) video. Jon was experimenting with his new rig and captured this.

The video is from the 2nd largest acquarium tank [...]
