July 13, 2011

Was part of a piece that ABC15′s Kirk Yuhnke did on how MLB uses social media. Felt it was required that I wear my new hat from my brother.

Grammarly – Write Gooder

June 9, 2011

I’ve never taken a writing class, have little clue what most grammar terms mean and prefer logical punctuation over the nonsense American method. While I make my living as a writer, I freak out when another writer reads or mentions my work. I have no idea what they’re talking about when they use grammatical terms. [...]

Hosting, registrar and domain transfer woes

June 3, 2011

Rant time! I couldn’t help it. Forgive any grammar or poor writing, I’m still pretty angry that companies like FasTurtle exist. I make my living writing, helping small business with marketing plans and the occasional techie job, like setting up a new URL with WordPress installed or transferring an existing website to a new, better [...]

I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!

May 31, 2011

Starting anything new is scary. Whether it’s my own LLC (in progress), a workout goal (Ironman 2012 baby!) or a great idea for a new startup (woohoo Startup Weekend!), the opportunity to do something awesome should never be ignored. I need some help in making a new idea happen. This idea, which involves making it [...]

Linchpin Meetup 5/18 at 7pm at Gangplank

May 17, 2011

I’ve been a fan of Seth Godin for years. While I haven’t always agreed with him, and stopped reading his daily blogs for almost 18 months at one point, there’s no question that his ability to make me question why and what I’m doing is invaluable. Now that I’m a part of his Domino Project [...]

Worm wine, VerimiSoks and desert gardens, oh my!

May 16, 2011

This is the final video from TEDxScottsdale last month. In it, Miguel Jardine of VermiSoks talks about how his product makes growing organic desert gardens easy and goes on to talk about how this can likely be replicated in any dry environment. Great way to jumpstart a local food economy that’s far too long been [...]

Yuri Artibise on the YouTubes!

May 14, 2011

I totally edited this. I was also responsible for the delay at the beginning of his live presentation AND I was the guy who fixed it. So I’m like alcohol. Anyway, here’s Yuri Artibise at TEDxScottsdale talking about how Cities are People.

Bad PR—will Phoenix please stand up?

May 13, 2011

A few months ago, I wrote about Jason Hope of JAWA and his alleged text messaging scams on the now-retired Valley PR Blog. I bashed The Lavidge Company for their involvement, but nothing came of it. Now, after what I think were attempts to bribe me to remove the posts and the Facebook, Google and [...]

It’s okay to be selfish

May 6, 2011

Today, I gave $5 to a gas station clerk and instructed him to apply it to a guy named Bradford (Army reservist?) in fatigues. A few days ago, I was offered money to retract public criticism I’d made about a local tech company’s owner. Instead, I told everyone I know about it. I’ve given money [...]
