Huxley said, “Memories are a man’s private literature.” Memories are private and you never know which ones will be picked up, stored away and treasured. In 1 Year, 10 Projects, 100 Discoveries, ten of the discoveries are memories- fun, sad, happy, I’m not sure what types there will be, but I do know that they will […]
Where there’s a will there’s a way. Where there’s passion, there’s a way.
I’ve been thinking a lot about silos lately. In my new role as a consultant / agency person, I get a clear outsider’s view of the silos in a company. It’s amazing and mind boggling to me.

This idea by a UK band, the Kaiser Chiefs, is genius. In a world of unique content creation and curation as well as more “illegal” music downloads, this is a brillant idea to help drive sales. They are inviting fans to participate in — and profit from — the distribution of their new album by creating […]
Google’s +1 button arrived almost 90 days ago to lots of fanfare and speculative blog posts. I sat and I waited and I watched. I read the opinions. I watched Google search results evolve. And I clicked a few +1 buttons on articles I liked. Oddly enough, in all the opinions I’ve read, my take hasn’t […]
