This week my company had the unique opportunity to be involved with one of the biggest “reality” TV shows out there, The Celebrity Apprentice, Sunday’s at 9pm on NBC-TV.

 

I’m the Director of Marketing and Social Media for Café Metro’s parent company S.T. Management Group here in the quiet little…

This week I made a Random Act Of Kindness (RAOK) video for one of the concepts I do marketing for, Café Metro. The vibe was awesome! The feeling of getting out there and doing random acts of kindness on a 12 degree morning were appreciated by all. We gave out gift cards, free…

I am a big geek. I think you can tell that from previous posts. One of the things that got me started on my road to Geekdom was of course everyone’s favorite nerd crush, Star Trek, and yes, I do own a purring Tribble thank you!

 

But what always attracted me to the show was not the unidentified…

The staple of the superhero mythology is, there’s the superhero and there is the alter ego. Batman in reality is Bruce Wayne, Green Lantern is Hal Jordan, Spider-Man is really Peter Parker. When that character wakes up every morning, he’s Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man.

And it is in…

This weekend as the media and music savvy minds gathered in Austin Texas for the South By Southwest Conference to marvel at the advancements we have made with our technical evolution, Mother Nature gave us a reminder of who is really in charge of this planet and how frail we are as humans.



For all our…

There have been 9,165 blogs, articles and posts about Twitter and Social Media etiquette that we have all read and hoped we have not made near fatal mistakes with and I know I have read at least 1,964 of them.

 

But, I did something last week that in Twitterville is a major Go…

Twitter my friend, we had you all wrong.

What started out as a 140 character ego fest has once again proven itself in the battlefield. Literally.

This last week we all watched as the uprising, the REVOLUTION,…

I could begin to feel the circuits overheating. 

 

I had been very active with several different chat groups, creating a new one, researching Social Media related issues for work as well as running and responding to all the Social Media there and making new followers and friends at a rate that would…

Yeah I was the 5th Beatle until they got tired of me screaming…

“Yes, Clarence.  A man down on earth needs our help.’

 

“Splendid! Is he sick?”

 

“No. Worse. He's discouraged. At exactly ten forty-five P.M., earth-time, that man will be thinking seriously of throwing away God's greatest gift. You will…

Did you blink?

Did you miss this year too?



Can you believe that this week ushers in the holiday season and fires the racing pistol shot for all shoppers to get out there and do their consumer duties?

To begin the blind panic for door buster sales that offer the guests 60” LCD TV’s for $100 (only 4 per store until 5:17AM)?



This is also the time that most companies crank up their customer service to dazzle customers… Continue

LET IT BE is one of my favorite songs from the entire Beatles catalog. The melody is flawless and inspiring. The lyrics are timeless and encouraging. It was also one of the final tracks that the group had COME TOGETHER on (with HELP from guest Billy Preston on organ) before THE END.…

“Wonder Woman!”

“I thought you said a Tinker Bell fairy?”

“No. Wonder Woman!”

“Ok, you have 4 parties to go to.… Continue

I’m a Geek.

Let me clarify that: I was an UBER Geek who was downsized due to age, responsibilities and a wife who didn’t understand that…

My daughter has been going through the “terrible twos”. Actually, I don’t know why they call it the terrible twos. They seem to start at about one year & four months into that “second year”. Now, Skylar’s not in that cute “ oh she is having a mild snit” phase but rather the rolling around the floor, I can’t hear a word your saying, eyes wild, scorched Earth, call an exorcist or the British woman from “The Nanny “ kind of “terrible two’s.…

As the season begins to turn, and the weather starts to turn cold, we all prepare for the next few months that will be spent mostly inside. During these months, we’ll put down our salad forks and pick up a soup spoon to compliment the weather with warm and cozy comfort food. However, this is not a luxury that we are all able to endure. Try to imagine being a young child, coming inside after hours of playing in the snow, and not being able to refuel with a nice meal. Think about how it feels to… Continue

There comes a time, particularly towards the end of the summer, when you just don’t care anymore. I’m not saying that in a bad way or in a “goodbye cruel world” tone but, rather an “it’s the end of the summer, no one is around/it’s about to get really busy/I need to step back and recharge” kind of way.



Not such a bad thing really.



It’s one of those weeks where the weather was gorgeous yet I was stuck indoors, at a…

At home I have a two year old daughter.



She is your very typical two year old. Sings her A-B-C’s, creates Pollack inspired art on the wall with Crayola and discusses the philosophical disciplines with Beddy Bear and the family dog, Lily. But what really amazes me in my daily study of her development, is her (and children in general) keen awareness to the physical and mental mind set of those around her.

If she notices a slouched posture,… Continue
