    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

I’m full of ideas. Now, let’s change things.

Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die I’m reading Made to Stick. The timing is excellent….

Food for Thought

TEDxNextGenerationAsheville – Birke Baehr – “What’s Wrong With Our Food System” HT: my friend Carrie who shared it on Facebook

Are we truly free?

I had to pause this video about half way through because I could not stop crying. Kevin Bales: How to combat modern slavery Are we truly free?

Deal with your mistakes, like right now!

Virgin America had a bad flight.  It turned out not to be such a disaster because they (sort of) dealt with it early.  United, on the other hand, well they shat on their own faces by  being dorks about breaking a guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo I kinda like the song.  I’d like it even more if it [...]

Simplicity rules.

This past month I moved across the country, back to the Seattle, Washington area.  I love it here!  And, I’m glad to be back. This trip back was done with everything I own able to fit into my truck with the top carrier.  It was not really that tight of a fit.  That’s mostly because I [...]

Another Super Obvious Strong Password Reminder

Twitter recently banned the use of some passwords that are way to easy and obvious for “the bad guys” to exploit.  The commentary on weak passwords is so strong and obvious, yet so many people ignore the warnings and just don’t care.  When users maintain weak passwords, and their computers or phones or bank accounts [...]

information overload

It’s always time to simplify. We need to make information simple. We need to listen and organize and purge. We need to be patient with those around us who adapt at different rates. We need to revisit our approach. I just watched this “Web 2.0″ video again.  It is information overload.  Yet, it also is [...]

A Fun Contest with Many Thanks

And, another feature (video!) gets some press.  WordPress is just kickin’ tush with their features and support!  They’re having a contest to find the best 30 second video about giving thanks and what brings you joy.  Pretty cool, if you ask me. Here’s there video about the contest.  I think this video is pretty cool [...]

What are you doing with your life puzzle?

Barry Atkinson is spending time and energy on one of his passions.  I’m helping him with his blog and getting that puzzle piece situated.  Mostly, I’m watching the picture take shape!  It will be fun to watch this story unfold.  See ScoreboardEh.com for some hockey cards from Candada, eh! P.S. awesome ways to start 004

Platform Agnostic

I think I want everything to be platform agnostic.  But, I’m not sure about reasons why I might not want that.  I think I’d like everything I do, as it relates to computing and technology and communications, to be able to be done on any platform and to be seamless. Am I missing anything?  Is [...]

leadership

As I venture through new challenges in life, I am constantly aware of the leadership that is around me, that I am following and I am even aware of people who look at me for leadership.  Leaders are human and make mistakes.  That has often been one thing that has endeared me to the leaders that I am following…  Great [...]
