Ten Tips On Balance

If you read my personal blog you may know that each year I choose two words to meditate on and use to be better overall instead of having a traditional resolution. This year the words were “global” and “balance”. I’m doing pretty well on taking my company and myself and making it more global, both [...]

On Perception

I hoped that the volume of people pinging me after Chris discussed his rates would die down, but since it didn’t, I thought I’d quickly answer the questions. While I’m at it, I thought I’d talk a bit about perception and worth. Enjoy.

Opening A Dialogue: Quantification and Certification

A while back, I read this post by Olivier Blanchard which focused on ISMA, an organization said to certify social media consultants. That post inspired a semi-related post here which briefly touched on the certification aspect and on the company in question itself, but which was really overall more about the ethics of sponsorship and [...]

The “Pick My Brain” Experiment

I get asked several times a day to meet for “picking my brain”. When I do have time (which is rare) and get to help someone, I get told “You should make this a service you offer!” I tweeted that out tongue in cheek today, and the response via DM and email to really make [...]

More and more lately I think of social media, of the vast array of social media tools and of a concept called the Gruen Transfer. If you aren’t familiar with the Gruen Transfer, it is a term coined to reflect that slack jawed, trance-like consumer state that people go into when they enter places like [...]

Music Publisher Thoughts from AIMP Panel

I made a quick video note of one of the strongest take aways I got about the music publishing industry after being on the AIMP panel this week. I’ve also linked all of the panel members below since I am often a name butcher when I’m in a hurry.

My Buzz On Google Buzz

A quick video between phone calls today to give my thoughts on Google’s Buzz:

Sonic Branding

Sonic branding is a form of music and sound that most people never think about. That moment where a song plays, and makes you think of a Lexus. That song that instantly brings back a certain afternoon with a high school sweetheart on the beach. The ping that says you have new email or the [...]

Announcing: All NH Event Calendar

With so many events going on in NH relevant to technology, social media and other interests, I thought it was high time to implement a state wide calendar. Hopefully this will do two things: 1) eliminate conflicting, similar events on the same day or night 2) help people find and share MORE awesome events around [...]
