The gang beat down (what they told me)

November 29, 2009

Read these first: What I remember. How it started. The last thing I remember is seeing my brother hauling ass up the hill. After the first volley of punches, I was down. Kevin, who quickly hurried out of the driver’s side, said he never saw them hit me, but he saw the kicking. They were [...]

Follow your own rules

November 27, 2009

We spend our days trying to be liked, hoping to be accepted and striving to be respected. Stop living by other people’s rules, if only for a little while. You’re wasting your time and theirs by being something that you’re not. It’s going to be frustrating, it’s probably going to hurt and it’s going to [...]

Quit yer Bitchin’ Day

November 27, 2009

We all judge constantly. Some of us verbalize it, others internalize the same. Don’t do that today. Let people be annoying. Let them spam you with hopes of winning a contest. Listen to them about their Black Friday experience. Don’t make fun, even if they dress like a ridiculous hipster. Just try it. Just one [...]

Smackdown on BlogTalkRadio

November 23, 2009

We get what web 2.0 is. It’s about us, talking to ourselves. But it’s time to talk about what’s next. Now that we have a flood of information coming at us from every angle, we need filters. Smart ones, not dumb filters that can’t think for themselves, but constantly adapting methods of giving us ALL [...]

Sponsored Tweets? Oh no!

November 22, 2009

I’d love to say that sponsored Tweets are the stupidest thing ever. Would love to sing high from the mountain (ahem, Paul Carr) about how evil ads in our Twitter stream are. Screw that. It’s happening and there’s not a damn thing any of you can do about it. It’s not perfect, it’s not always [...]

Pay per post, pay per tweet?

November 22, 2009

We all need to make money. We all talk about things we like and promote things we use. As long as it’s disclosed, is there any difference between that and putting sponsored tweets/post in your normal output?
