Mobile again…

It’s been awhile, but I’m using my mobile kit again for blogging. This is made up primarily of my old T-Mobile MDA, ThinkOutside Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse.

We’re off to find adventure in the afternoon in front of us, be it large or small. I’ll have to take a picture of the entire kit later, but we’re heading out the door as I write this. Until later!

Our lives are like a river. Always moving, carving it’s environment, adjusting to new things, growing in depth & breadth, flowing into a distant future that we’ll learn about when we get there.

Happiness CCLXI

I remember… that warm autumn day 24 years ago, windows down, the radio up, and the road unwinding in front of me with endless possibilities.

Take my post ideas. Please!

Sometimes I spend time just generating ideas for blog posts, and they make it into this list or that notebook (though you couldn’t tell by my current lack of posts ;). While I can’t claim this idea is original, I do indeed want to share this list – I’ll probably not use them in the near term and it may be inspiration to someone to write a great post that I’d love to read.

Be the flash point for social media in your city

Strike by Katie Blanch Wondering when an online-oriented event is going to pop up in your area? Why don’t you make it happen?

While “social media” is every today, it’s as important as ever to get face 2 face with folks you know online. The adage “it’s not what you know, but who you know” is as true today as it was to previous generations. While technology is tearing down the barriers of time & distance, as humans, we crave real-time interaction.

Being an organizer of events in your town or city has some advantages – you get to pick topics that are interesting to you, you get to help get people involved, but mostly you get to meet lots of people. That’s probably the biggest reward of all the work that goes into these things.

The other thing is simply getting things started. Why wait for someone to get things started – you could be that person. It’s not hard, and I know that most everyone that’s worked on getting organizing and hosting events would be happy to share some tips to making it all happen.

Are you ready to start something?
