3 Reasons Your Story is Important to Me

Posted by:

This post is in response to Chris Brogan’s post and challenge about the importance of story in our lives. 

A few month’s ago when I was at a crossroads in my life I watched a video that posed several questions.  To me the questions were so profound that I wrote them down and have pondered them many times since.  The question are:  What is my calling?;  What if my calling is my story?; and ...

Neon Sign or Cairn?

Posted by:

Are you a neon sign or a cairn?  Right now you’re probably saying to yourself I know what a neon sign is, but how does it apply to me and what in the heck is a cairn?

Let me start with the cairn.  A cairn is a small or sometimes rather large pile of rocks to intentionally mark something.  In the past they were used to mark graves or for religious alters among other things.  Today, hikers the world over ...

IPv6, say what?

Posted by:

Well, not that I need to restate this, but as you know I'm a geek and as I write this I know that probably only two or three people that will read this will get it.  That's okay, because really you don't need to know.  So Joy, Logan and any other geeky friends that read this enjoy the video.

I love the original song and the rewrite of the lyrics only add to my fondness.

What is IPv6 ...

How to Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon was a great movie.  3D IMAX was fantastic.  With today's sophisticated (well maybe) movie going audiences it is difficult to please all in the same family, but this movie succeeded in this feat, at least for my family.  It has it all, Dragons, Vikings and fighting to please the young and old boys and a central female character that is tough yet still feminine for the little girls, and of course, lets not forget ...

Humans Are Like Windows

Posted by:

No I don't mean like "windows to the soul" or like a pane of glass.  I mean like the Windows that we PC users have all come to love and hate.  If you've ever used Windows for any length of time you've experienced the dreaded "blue screen of death".

So, how are humans like Windows you ask?  Great question.  Be honest now, when you get that blue screen (to MS's credit I've ...

If you're my friend you already know this, but just in case you don't.

It's been confirmed I AM A DORK.  A New Dork to be exact.

Humans are Analogue

Posted by:

This is the first in at least a two part series of my analogies of what humans are like (as if we didn't already know).  It's at least two parts, because that is how many ideas I have floating around in my cerebral soup right now.  If one of my two neurons fires between now and when I get finished with the first two, who knows something else might get spawned.

From Wikipedia:  Analogue electronics (or analog in American English) are electronic systems with a continuously variable ...

Are we too complicated?

Posted by:

If you spend any time with me you’ll come to realize that I love movies.  Old movies, new movies, DVD’s, movie theater, I just love the medium.  I’ll watch almost anything as long as it’s decent, but bad movies are bad movies no matter what genre or budget they had.  I can cheer triumphantly at a great sports movie and I can laugh until it hurts at a good comedy.  I can even shed a tear with the best of ...

Oh, ‘dem Sweet Beignets

Posted by:

Some time ago Chris Brogan wrote a post, that I'm still thinking about partly because I love beignets and secondly I tend to be slightly OCD (just kidding, I think) and can not stop thinking of something until my thoughts have run their logical course.

Chris' post was about doing one thing very well and I have to say that Chris is correct, not every brand is built on a single solidly identifiable widget, but ...
