Best laid plans (don’t hold out forever)

I’m on a four and a half hour flight from Las Vegas to Jacksonville, FL, and I’m feeling quite comfortable right now as I type this into the handy WordPress app on my iPhone. Sure, the old woman beside me smells a bit smokey… but she’s friendly, quiet, isn’t using the armrest between us (even [...]

New Fitness Goals AGAIN

I’ve been trying to lose weight, with some temporary successes, but overall unsuccessfully, for years. Many many years. Well, then again I suppose it depends on your definition of trying.

I don’t want to go so far as to actually lay claim to anything she’s doing right now… but Lydia spent most of WPPI with Lan and I and is truly embracing videoblogging and things we’ve spoken with her about in her business… and for that (in addition to her fantastic talent as a photographer) [...]

Don’t Alienate Your Existing Audience | Twitter Badgering | Facebook Fans

I am all for marketing yourself in the smartest and most creative ways possible. I think people need to stand out in a sea of competition… show their personality or whatever else makes them unique and attractive to hire. We all already know that Facebook and Twitter are great for this. You get to build [...]

Dropbox | Free (or paid) Online Storage and File Sharing

Although pretty much all of my recent clients know about Dropbox (because I pretty much force them to use it so they can get their deliverables) I feel as though there are still tons of people I know who do not… and this post is for them. Or perhaps I should say it is for [...]
