Great melody
A great story is like a great melody: it announces its inevitable greatness and you recognize it the first time you hear it.

Every Company Needs a Journalist
Every Company Needs a Journalist
Forget the SEO, forget the keyword marketing, forget the rest of the mumbo-jumbo. Here’s the sentence you need to read.
[You need] someone who collects, writers, and distributes news and other information about the company, the industry, the customers, the local area – anything that has relevance…
You need someone to uncover stories.
They won’t fall in your lap. You need to ask the right questions with the right people for the right story. Only a journalist can do that.

Handy JQuery Libraries
Scrollorama – must be used wisely or else it reminds me of blinking and scrolling text from 90’s web sites.
Same goes for JQuery Transit

Bull Shitting
Bull Shitting is SUPER AWESOME! You take a grain of something and blow it completely out of proportion. Some people call it by other names like theories, or improvisation, or creativity. You get to imagine and make stuff up. It gives you crazy confidence! “Blam, I know what that is…[insert bull shit here]”

Blogging in the face of chaos
When things are good and easy, I blog, I tweet & I participate and share. When things aren’t so easy…. not so much
This is odd because no matter how crazy the world is, I work. To be more clear I work from home. That place that some of my friends are afraid of – where there is no boss checking in, where the tv beckons you to watch one more show. Sometimes even I’m surprised to find that somewhere between 8-9 I walk into my office and I work. Even when not at home, I find a place: in someone else’s office, in a dinning room, or in the coffee shop.
For a man that has attention issues and fights daily routine, this has somehow stuck – this “work”. So now it’s time to add social so that next time things aren’t going so well, I can keep calm and carry on.
