It's all about people.
I spend a lot of time on Twitter. Sometimes I'm on Twitter for purely professional reasons; other times, it's all personal. Often - intentionally - the line between work and play blur (I think this is a good thing, but that's for another post). Kristina gives me a hard time for the amount of time … [Read more...]
It's been quite the week for Southwest Airlines and Kevin Smith (aka, Silent Bob). If you haven't heard about the drama, do a quick search in Google and you'll soon be caught up. You can also check out articles from CNN, two responses from Southwest (1 and 2) as well as a few posts from Kevin Smith … [Read more...]
I'm a perfectionist. I'm also an idealist. Yet, as I rapidly approach my 34th birthday (one week from today - Feb 23 - accepting gifts) and nearing they day that Baby Waldow arrives (March 28 - also accepting gifts), I'm becoming less of a perfectionist and more of a realist. What Is … [Read more...]
I first read about the 3 words on January 1, 2009. I left a comment on Chris Brogan's blog where I listed my (4) goals for 2009 - BEEP: Breathe. Engage. Energize. Prioritize. Re-reading his post and mapping that to what I wrote in the comments, I'm not sure I really got it. I mean, those were … [Read more...]
Everyone should smile or laugh at least once every single day. *Everyone. If you are having a bad day, leverage your network. This could be family, friends, acquaintances, or even complete strangers. Find someone who can make you smile (turn that frown upside down?). In need of a smile or laugh … [Read more...]
Last month, I stumbled upon the picture to your right. Innocent enough, right? A ring box sitting on a pair of boxers neatly placed in the snow on the lawn a few doors down from my house. I thought it would be an interesting story to tell, so I blogged about it. I positioned the post as a caption … [Read more...]
I've been collecting glass (mostly beer bottles) for 6 months, ever since my wife and I moved to Salt Lake City. I learned quickly that Salt Lake City does not accept glass in the curbside bins. They have a few drop off stations around the city/county where citizens must go to recycle glass. Adding … [Read more...]
My wife and I still subscribe to a few magazines. I'm not talking about online magazines. I mean the old school, glossy, paper version. K-Dawg (my wife) flips through some of the trashy magazines like Shape and Self. She sometimes picks up People in the grocery store for some "light reading" and … [Read more...]
I was sitting on the chairlift at Park City Mountain Resort on Christmas Day and it hit me. (Holy Crap!) I'm gonna be a dad! Of course I had my iPhone 3GS with me which enabled me to record my thoughts as I was formulating them. This wasn't the first time I've done some videoing from a chairlift … [Read more...]
Yeah. I said it. I know that I'm the Director of Community at Blue Sky Factory. I realize that I'm a huge advocate of social media. In my list of "things I love," social media is right up there with email marketing. So what gives? How can I make such a (bold) statement? Meet Malcolm Atherton Look … [Read more...]
