Course of Action
I wrote yesterday about the dilemma of giving it away for free. Social media is an interesting medium. It’s very easy to get drawn into, spend all your time tweeting or on facebook or linked in. Next thing you know the day is about done. I admire people like Chris Brogan who appear to be…
Dilemma for the network communicator
I’ve spent the last year studying the phenomenon known as social media – or as I now like to call it – networked communications. I’ve always networked in work and life – and this was a great fit for me. I took the skills I had, am honing the ones I’m learning – and have…

Father’s Day in Our House
Father’s Day may be a Hallmark holiday. We don’t care – we take it very seriously. My dad has a bad heart, bad knees and early Alzheimers. Some days are better than others. All his days are numbered. Some days he’s a real character. Some days he can be an asshole. Most days he doesn’t…
