It's all about people.
It's been nearly 2 years since my last caption contest, Ring Box on Men's Boxers. That one was something I actually saw with my own two eyes and snapped a picture with my iPhone. Earlier this week, I saw this photo (above) of 2 carrots on Facebook. I immediately shared it with the simple text, … [Read more...]
I just sent $493 - via PayPal - to Zion's Children of Haiti. To be clear, I personally did not donate $493. Instead, I was joined by 27 other amazingly awesome individuals - all who contributed between $3 and $50. As mentioned in a previous post, Help Send a Child To School For a Year, this $493 … [Read more...]

One week later, I emailed 8 of the top social media folks in the industry asking them to film a 30-second “Hire DJ” video. 10 days after termination, I launched Project Awesome. So why the big, smiling, … [Read more...]
As of 3 weeks ago, I had never heard of Red Mango. Now, I'm an evangelist. Besides the fact that they serve all-natural, amazingly tasty, frozen yogurt, I'm also extremely impressed by their in-store marketing and effective use of SMS (aka, text messaging). Kristina (my wife), Eva (our 17 month … [Read more...]
Have you ever heard of speed stacking (definition)? I had not until this morning. I was at the Salt Lake City Farmer's Market when I passed a booth with two boys in it. They were "stacking" cups. Actually, they were stacking cups at a dizzying speed. So fast, in fact, that if I wasn't there to watch … [Read more...]

I absolutely love it - clean interface, great spam blocking, easy to keep up with the conversation (via email alerts), avatar integration, a slick interface.
