What my Twitter cloud does (and doesn’t) say about me

November 30, 2009

Twitter now allows you to build lists of people that you think others should follow, and group them into categories. The idea is to allow others to subscribe to those lists as a single group, based on topic.  A few weeks back the most excellent Jay Baer posted on his Convince and Convert blog an [...]

Back to Basics

November 15, 2009

After a most bizarre and educational few months, I’m clearing some time to get back to writing.  I’m working my way through my many blogs, starting with this one and Writing is Cake.  I just migrated this to a new host and cleaned up a lot of out of date plug ins. This post is [...]

Changes of Season

July 30, 2009

In the past year I’ve gone through more career and personal changes than I have in decades, driven largely by my renewed interest in writing, yet have been unable to find time to write about them. I suppose this could be ironic, but it’s just annoying.
The most significant of these recently is that I left [...]

SXSWi ‘09: Recap, Recollection, Recommendations

March 20, 2009

Just back from attending my first South by Southwest, and it was pretty much exactly what I thought it would be, only better. In no particular order, here are the things I learned or had affirmed:
You can’t do it all – Heard that warning 100 times leading up to SXSW and it was absolutely true. [...]

Restaurants to try at SXSWi 2009

March 10, 2009

I’m headed to South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin, Texas, for the first time this week, and am quite excited. I’ve been wanting to visit Austin for quite a while, and see SXSW on top of it. Of course, I cannot be expected to endure such complete geekery without proper food so did some asking [...]

Know me by my Moo

February 23, 2009

In my meandering exploration of this whole idea of personal branding, I decided it was past time to get some personal cards. “Business cards” doesn’t quite cover it, since I’m not exactly an “all business” kind of fellow. I was inspired (again) by Tomas Carrillo and his new Moo cards, but my creative talents are [...]

Social Media Stupid Metaphor Exercise (bel Grande)

December 9, 2008

I’m prone to random ideas, and last week it struck me that just about any danged crazy thing could (or has) been used as metaphor for Social Media, Web 2.0, or whatever you want to call this stuff. I had some time waiting for a program to install, so I threw out onto Twitter for [...]

As eclectic a reading list as you’re ever going to find

December 8, 2008

In a recent team meeting in Oregon, my team of Software Developers and Community Managers each shared a book we were planning to read. The intent was to learn a little about each other and some of the great books out there we may not have heard about.
The singular Josh Bancroft is on my team, [...]

Trivial Super Powers: What would you choose?

November 19, 2008

On Twitter yesterday Ronji talked about a poll which asked which Super Power you would have. Most people at his work chose Invisibility, but I would personal take Flying. In fact, you would never get my butt back on the ground if I could fly. Easy choice.
So I wondered what Trivial Super Power you would [...]
