You could say that I have a problem with staying on-point and on-message. In the early days of social web-based technologies, this varied focus was a trademark of thought-leaders and influential early adopters. When the masses came around to the adoption of a more social web, it was mistakenly viewed as taunting or troll-like behavior. […]
Remember being young and idealistic and thinking deadlines were stupid? Somehow, I’ve come back around to that position. Sure, there are times when deadlines are necessary or simply unavoidable. The pace of the world needs to keep moving forward and sometimes there’s just not an unlimited amount of time to otherwise accomplish tasks we’d rather […]
A couple of weeks back, I went to a theme park that I love. It’s not just a local theme park that I visited frequently as a kid, but it’s also where I started the marketing portion of my career. Marketing has been one of the three pillars of my professional identity, along with business […]

It’s my favorite combo yet, even if the keyboard can’t live up to the insanely high bar originally set by the IBM Model M keyboard. No fault there, nothing will ever compare to the Model M. But despite being my favorite input combo […]

Conversations around this topic are almost always positive; extolling the virtues of deep work and the creativity and productivity breakthroughs that will occur. However, what isn’t talked about enough are the negative […]
The Forgotten 2023 Recession Will Never End… …at least not anytime soon. Recession Looming The conversation of a looming recession keeps getting stronger despite apparently falling away from the average consumer’s consciousness. It’s hard to blame these average consumers because their peers are spending mightily and unemployment is somewhat curiously falling. Those are normally excellent […]
Yes, the following was actually written by GPT-4, as integrated into the Microsoft Edge “Discover” panel.
