Living Fiercely
The dictionary defines ‘fierce‘ as:
… having or displaying an intense or ferocious aggressiveness
… showing a heartfelt and powerful intensity
… powerful and destructive in extent or intensity
All of those resonate with me. I’m beginning to think that middle age (and this is apparently your mid-40s) is the new early 20s. Or at least that’s where I feel I’ve been picking up again with the things in my life that I want to do and experience. Damn. There are few things I hate more than being cliche.

iPod Video Time Capsule
Cleaning out my dressing room the other day I came across my old iPod Video in a forgotten purse. I’ve since plugged it into my computer and charged it up, but sadly my modern version of iTunes won’t recognize the device. Looks like for the time being I’ll have to just keep the music and podcasts on the little fella that were there from years past.

Reentering the world of podcasting
I’m going to start up a podcasting show of my own again but ‘eh’ on going solo mainly because I can’t find a single person show that I think is done well.
Read MoreGot online in 1988
… and haven’t been disconnected since. Friends and I ran a for-fee BBS in the early days where we sold fiction stories (don’t ask) & drink recipes (we were underage). People would mail us a $5 bill in the mail for monthly access. Every month I’d go through a Lotus 123 spreadsheet to mark who stayed on and who got kicked off.
Read MoreBrand New Beginnings
It was a great 9 month run, but in the end the position didn’t quite meet up to what I had hoped. Great product. Great company. Some amazing team members. I’m back “out” doing what I do best – marketing technologies – and hitting the speaking circuit hardcore again. Curiosity is the mother of reinvention…
Read MoreMother’s Day Crazy-Mom Style
As you will soon tell, I’m already cranky about Mother’s Day. I am not really a fan of the ‘holiday’ much in the same way I hate Valentine’s Day. Pinterest-perfect expectations that wind up making...
Read MoreThe Real Life Effect of Cyber Bullying
I want to talk about something so serious and dangerous that it pains me to know that this stuff happens ‘in real life.’ Christine is a blogger friend of mine (same awesome last name but no relation) and has been battling a cyber bully targeting her daughter since February of this year.
Read MoreNew Office Layout
All my life I’ve had my back to the wall at work so that passers-by don’t loom over my shoulders and look at my computer screen. (I don’t even want to get into the creep stuff I had to deal with in corporate...
Read MoreKeeping Your Online Opinion To Yourself
Today’s pet peeve has me in such a twist it deserved a post on my blog rather than a ‘throwaway’ comment on a social platform. What rubs me the wrong way? When “well meaning” people (men and women)...
Read MoreBooking Appearances For Your Blog or Podcast
Due to the nature of my company and job, I tend to get asked for interviews or guest blog posts from time to time. In fact, today I just responded to four requests, and turned down two others. What makes me (or anyone else) accept or decline an opportunity for “exposure” in front of another audience? It depends on the person you are looking to interview of course!
Read MoreI Blog But I’m NOT a “Blogger”
I blog as a matter of method of communication and business strategy. NOT because I’m a “blogger.” Here’s why…

There is something magical about meeting people in person that you see all the time online. I'm in San Diego again (and brought the cold weather sorry!) to spend a few days with some of the top social marketers &...

Here's my #FirstTweet from my second Twitter account. My first account was handmade by the folks at Twitter back when I was working on a project with them in Second Life and they worked at Odeo. Since you couldn't change...
Read MoreWhat I’m Listening To: The Owners Mind with Chris Brogan
Today while working I’ve got something different in my speakers… the new(ish) podcast show from Chris Brogan Owners Mind (iTunes link). To be truthful, it is normally very difficult for me to listen to music with...
