  • Mixing Up the Marketing

    What’s on the iPod: Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd Happy Veteran’s Day to all who have served. We appreciate you. At the moment, I am what you’d call “between projects.” I’d panic, but I have some things coming up that will keep me busy through the rest of the month. Plus one of my regular clients,…

  • Details, Details

    What’s on the iPod: Timshel by Mumford & Sons Yesterday was a frustrating day of trying to get something to work. The new printer came. I’d love to tell you how much nicer it is than the old, reliable Canon. I’d love to go on about its wireless capabilities and I’d love to give it…

  • Stick a Fork in Me

    What’s on the iPod: The Wishing Well by The Airborne Toxic Event Interesting day yesterday. Not bad, not great. Just….interesting. If I had a nickel for every client who tried to use the old “had to fix numerous errors” message in an attempt to avoid payment, I’d never have to put fingers to the keyboard….

    What’s on the iPod: Backwards Walk by Frightened Rabbit Today is my first official day back. All mothers have been sent back to where they came from, and the house has returned to normal. It was a wonderful time seeing family. I’ll miss them. We spent the time preparing for a party. I’ve realized something…

  • Monthly Assessment: October 2010

    What’s on the iPod: Nothing. Too busy to listen. I’m still on overdrive post vacation, but the guests are leaving one by one. I’m stealing a few minutes now to share my monthly assessment. If I don’t, I’ll never do it, which means you may never do it, and that’s not good. So here goes:…

  • Like the Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland

    That’s me today – guests leaving, still some here, lots to do, no time to do any of it in….. Short and sweet today, folks. Favorite memory from Ireland: We were walking in Glengariff Park, a nice trail along a stream. He lagged behind to look at birds while I went ahead exploring a bit….
