I’m enroute to Vegas today and will be there all week. Probably not much time for blogging. I thought I’d put this cool new SplashCast player here and just dump more media into it throughout the week. SplashCast is at DEMO today, showing this thing off. I was lucky enough to get an early account.
Keep […]
David Lorenzo has a great post about the power of face to face meetings. I wholly agree with his assessment that passion is best expressed in person.
I’m all about email and IM and, when I must, the phone. For several months (until yesterday, actually) I even had a polycom unit set up on the corner […]
I’ve been a fan of Laurence Haughton’s writing and thinking for a while. He’s got a new webcast coming up on January 30, 2007 at 9:00 AM PT / Noon ET. The title is More Buy-In for New Ideas and Innovations: A strategy to overcome resistance to change and improve follow-through. Should be a […]
Well, these aren’t really tricks. Just a few things I learned recently that have to do with PayPal (I’m a fanboy).
First, iTunes has an option that lets you pay with PayPal. I know that’s probably not earthshaking news, but I’ve almost always got a few bucks in PayPal and it makes me feel better to […]
Just saw that Oklahoma Wesleyan University is putting one year’s worth of tuition on eBay. Since I work in Higher Ed, I’m really curious what people think about this.
Personally, I’m not too fond of it and here’s why:
It potentially locks out anyone who can’t write a check for $20,000.
It’s easy to see how to […]
Business blogs are pretty awesome. The people who write them are always on the lookout for new books and ideas. I’m the same way (yeah, I’m pretty awesome, too). When I read business blogs, I usually read most, if not all, of the comments on a post that interests me.
So I’ve been noticing that […]
What follows is probably going to be controversial. And it will probably be taken out of context, or dismissed out-of-hand because of the name of this blog. But what I’m going to tell you is both subtle and powerful and must not be misused or abused, though I’m quite sure it will be and probably […]
Really great YouTube clip of Tony Buzan holding forth on the features and benefits of mindmapping. Fascinating stuff from the master himself….
Relatedly, for utter information overload, check out this list of mindmapping tools. Or, check out this relatively recent list of narrowed down options. That second list turned me onto Gliffy, which is best described […]
Love it! Visit indexed for more index card graphics (via Meriblog). Great stuff…

I wrote about “procrascipline” (disciplined procrastination) a while ago, and then I mentioned it as one of the guiding principles of the Slacker@Work.
I’ve got to say, as a manager I sometimes use procrascipline to my advantage. And sometimes I just totally blow it and forget stuff. From the outside, it kinda looks the same. Only […]
What’s The Next Action has an excellent post about five systems of GTD that gained a little traction and then were ditched. This rings pretty true for me…I could (and maybe should) write a similar list. I bet lots of people have lists like this.
This is part of both the fun and the frustration […]
I wrote earlier about this book, and the MarketingProfs book group discussion about it. The discussion starts here, if you’re a MarketingProfs member.
When I wrote the first post about this book, I was really taken with it. I still am, but my enthusiasm is a little bit tempered now. I wasn’t exactly sure what […]
Jeffrey Phillips tagged me on this meme, so I’ll be a good sport and participate. I guess I’m supposed to list five things that aren’t generally known about me:
I wear a bone conducting hearing aid
I’d rather be surfing
I taught English in South Korea
I’ve bungee jumped (3 times!) off a bridge in Washington State
I’ve climbed Monkey […]
This isn’t a book review, though one will be coming shortly. I’m blasting through Citizen Marketers: When People Are the Message (book blog) by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba (blog) for the MarketingProfs book club.
So far, so good. I’ve really enjoyed the read and it’s lived up to the book jacket blurbs. This is the […]
Just to keep the creative juices flowing, I’m firing up another little web project. Nothing earth shaking, but I think it’ll be fun. It’s Yamhill.TV. This is an “internet TV channel” for Yamhill County, Oregon (where I live). I’ll interview interesting local people, check out some events in the area, etc. I just released the […]
