maybe I need a wizard

As some of you may know I’m in the process of searching for a marketing job. So I’ve been contacting a lot of different companies following up on job leads. This post is about closed organizations. I consider a closed organization one where the barriers to entry for getting basic information are [...]

collaborativefailure=genius

This past weekend I was involved with a photo shoot. I wasn’t the one modeling, but boy I had a lot more fun then I thought I would. I had pretty low expectations, and my brother even said before we left that it wouldn’t be zoolander-like. WOW was he wrong.
We walk [...]

linkage

Just wanted to share some sites of services that I’ve used recently and find pretty dandy. Check them out.

A pretty cool idea, so far I’ve only used it to get files too large to email to some friends. Although as I get used to it, I think I’ll find other uses for it’s [...]

who doesn’t want to jump on the bandwagon?

I just saw this over at Russel Davies’ blog. It is what it says it is. “Online iTunes backup for music aficionados”

SoCon and Soda

It wasn’t quite what I expected and at I definitely thought it would have been a bit more laid back then it was. Some points were certainly more conference i.e. lecture then unconference but overall it was [...]

no free lunch, or is there?

One of the oddities of where I live is that we have a lot, a lot of American-Mexican places to eat. One of the places I go frequently is Moe’s. One of the features of Moe’s is that when you walk in they yell, “Welcome to Moe’s” and then that call is echoed [...]

dinner of atlantian proportions

Last night I attended my first new media/marketing event and it started off with a bang. We met for dinner at Veni Vidi Vici, in Atlanta, GA which was a great venue. Hosted by Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson of crayon, and well known for their podcast For Immediate Release, the word was [...]

four little words

I saw Seth Godin’s post on apologies, which jogged my memory about an experience I had. Recently my family and I went out to dinner. We normally go to a play, and dinner but because of some time factors we could only work out dinner this time
So we chose to go to dinner [...]

This is my foray into blogging. I’m writing on what interests me, when it interests me. Mostly in these categories:

business
branding
careering

curiosity
discovery

and maybe, maybe a few ventures to new and exciting topics. We’ll see. We’ll journey and learn together.
