Social media and the corporate perception
I’ve been talking with a number of people in differing areas of companies while drumming up consulting or contract gigs, and something is becoming very apparent. While there is a huge amount of misunderstanding regarding social media, there is also a growing interest in online professional networking.
What intrigues me is how the growing interest [...]
Consuming feeds - revising my methods
I’ve been on a crusade of sorts lately, looking for unique voices in the blogosphere, to find more interesting and relevant content. In the process, I’ve been finding better ways to absorb the information I find. Many of these methods are a change from how I consumed information in the past and I cover five [...]
September 2007 Header Graphic
Ah, beginning of a new month. Time to change the header graphic on my blog. Earlier today I uploaded a new picture for the header, taken from a photo at my cousin’s wedding reception. It was a great time, perfect weather and a fun location - the Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul, MN.
The [...]

I must say, I’m very honored to be invited to participate in Kent Newsome’s swivel feed experiment! This swivel feed experiment was designed by Kent to find new and interesting blogs to read. Yesterday, Kent invited an additional 12 bloggers to participate by recommending 5 bloggers for him to add to his feed list.
So without further [...]
Ugh, it’s time for my twice annual custom theme itch…
Don’t know why, but I always seem to get the itch to either develop or buy a custom theme for my blog. I’m not sure why I get these notions, but I start seeming more blogs with the free theme I found and I want to differentiate myself I guess.
I’ll honestly admit that it [...]

While online communities are different in the physical aspect, they connect us in [...]
Looking for Feedback
So I’ve gotten three notes mentioning that there are occasional issues when rendering some of my blog pages. If you follow a link here (specifically from Twitter), I’d like to know if the page looks funny, doesn’t finish loading, or any other odd behavior.
I don’t usually ask for assistance about my blog and such, but [...]
Nice Networking
I’ve had this great experience over the last few days, networking and meeting dozens of people in Chris Brogan’s Grasshoppers group. An amazing social networking group that started life as a Facebook group, attracting somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 members in about 72 hours (someone correct me if I’m off on that).
The main [...]
Busy Week
I’ve been really busy the last few days and haven’t gotten a change to post lately. Been reading a lot, and generating links to interesting stuff, but I’ve not had time to really do some good writing for the blog. I’m back at it today and should have a few good pieces this week. Talk [...]
July 2007 Header Update
As usual I’ve forgotten to get my blog header updated by the 1st of the month.
Well, its been updated now and I’ll try to get it updated for August on time.
