Figurative speech

February 26, 2009

Now that the term “hot off the press” is truly figurative (used to deem a story new, but newspapers are way behind breaking news now), what will take its place? Any ideas? My bet is that the simple saying “I heard” will replace it. Seriously. We are so connected on phones, computers and tech itself, [...]

Stop whining

February 26, 2009

I don’t understand complaining. Either solve the problem or get the hell out of my way. It’s far easier to diagnose what’s wrong than to make something right. Bitching gets you nowhere and there are too many impressionable people in this world that may not understand that. I’d hyperlink these, but that’s a lot more [...]

How do you define success?

February 25, 2009

Money, power, friends or fame. It’s one of those four things that defines success for most people. How do I define it? When people thank you for helping them. @AKFirecracker @AmandaBlum

Video blogs versus…all others.

February 16, 2009

Video sounds new. Video lets people check themselves out. Video is horribly egocentric. 12seconds is a fad gone horribly wrong. Most of us should NOT have video capabilities. Please, spare us the drunken dancing, the complaining about being hungry and the comments about shopping. NOBODY CARES. This public service announcement brought to you by people [...]

Do you take the shot?

February 13, 2009

You have one choice. Take the shot…or don’t. Miss and all that you’ve worked for is gone. Make it and everything you worked for comes true.Â What do you do?

Hey, whaddaya know, it’s TiVo!

February 11, 2009

Brands on Twitter is a gray area. Should they be there? Are they intruding? Will they try to sell us something? There is no clear answer to any of the above questions. Some companies such as @comcastcares, @zappos and now @TiVo, are getting it right. Just tonight I had a convo with @maniactive about TiVo [...]

So…what do you do?

February 10, 2009

Goddamn it’s an annoying question. Not as bad as what’s your major, but damn close. It’s said that too many of us reply with our job titles, as if what we do for a living defines what we are. It’s stupid, it’s shortsighted and it’s a waste. I want to know what your favorite thing [...]
