iPhone Security Holes Patched

Apple iPhone As much as I’d like to poke fun at the iPhone security issue(s), I have to agree with Peter Suciu over at MobileCrunch.  Security holes are no laughing matter for anyone, and companies that follow Microsoft’s lead and issue quality patches in a timely manner are to be commended on being responsive to their customers.  So, good job Apple – it’s not easy patching a new OS only a month after launch.

I35W Bridge Collapse

image I just wanted to share with everyone my shock, worry and sorrow.  This staple of the Twin Cities transportation system was last on my list of things to worry about.  How many times have any of us in the Twin Cities driven across this stretch, on our way downtown or to a game or to the U?

My condolences go out to the families who have lost a loved one, and pray that his doesn’t happen to others.  God bless.

I’m sure that we’ll all find out soon enough what happened, and that the NTSB will find the source of the collapse.  One can’t even begin to guess at what might be at fault, this 40-year old bridge has been checked on a regular basis – it could be any number of things.  One thing is for sure, I believe we’ll be surprised at the cause of this disaster.

Personal Branding Magazine

Hi all!

personal-brandI’ve had the pleasure of working on a great new project with a number of really great people over the last month or two. The project is the new Personal Branding Magazine, in which I’ve been a contributing author, and I’d like to alert you to the premier issue which you can find here.

Personal Branding Magazine Cover - Volume 1 Issue 1This new magazine brings together a number of great thinkers on the topic of Personal Branding, and is organized by Daniel Schawbel who writes the Personal Branding Blog. Daniel has been able to meld thoughts and articles from all corners of the Personal Branding world, authors like Guy Kawasaki, Chris Brogan, Rob Cuesta, Liz Pabon, Neil Patel, Lyn Chamberlin, Michelle Dumas, David Frazer, Charles Lau, and Scott Bradley.

The magazine will be published electronically on a quarterly basis, and all proceeds go to charity – the American Cancer Society. An Annual subscription is $12.95, and advertising opportunities are available for individuals and organizations (see Personal Branding Magazine site for details).

Moving out of the city

Well, Amy and I have made the decision to move further out from the city.  It’s been a discussion point for a long time and there have been so many things that we’ve changed and done different this year that we decided it is time.

We’re currently in Monticello, MN a “bedroom” community of Minneapolis and we’re moving back to Wisconsin. We plan to use ShortNoticeMovers.net so it won’t be an issue. We both grew up in a rural environment and just can shake how much we love getting back to our roots.  We’ve got a short time before school starts for the kids and we’ve got a lot of work to do in the next month.

So, I apologize for a shortage of posts and not being online the last week – we just spent a lot of time running around, talking with people, looking at places and just taking time to talk it all through.

We’re off on a new adventure in life and who knows where this will lead.  When I left corporate in April, we had no idea that we’d ultimately be making such big changes.  Part of it is unsettling – I feel like there is too much change, but I’m looking forward to things that I haven’t really had a chance to do in 20 years.

The first part of this week will be very busy as well and I’m trying to get some writing done this weekend to make up for being offline for a few more days.  I’ll post on this as things come about, along with some pictures and hopefully get back to having time and space to do some video.  Still haven’t tried out my DV camera import tools!
