  • Do You Pick Up Random Phone Calls?

    Does anyone ever pick up random phone calls? I sure don’t. Because about 99% are spam. Heck most of the texts I get are spam too. So why would I pick up the phone and talk to a spammer if I could text with them. πŸ€£πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜’πŸ˜Ž Heck half the time I don’t pick up the…

  • Harper, A Grammar Checking Tool Was Purchased By Automattic

    Okay the acquisition of Harper by Automattic (the parent company of WordPress.com) makes actual sense. Harper, a grammar checking tool, will hopefully be integrated into all of the Automattic and .org (here’s hoping) properties.​ Unlike some of the other acquisitions that Matt Mullenweg and Automattic have purchased (ie. Simplenote, Pocket Casts, and Tumbler) this makes…

  • You Know The Country Is Messed Up When You Can’t Tell What’s Satire And Reality

    The Onion bought what’s left of Alex Jones’ Info Wars property. That’s great news. But what isn’t is Trump’s cabinet picks. They’re like something you’d read in the freaking onion. Ugh. And these people Trump picked aren’t just not qualified for the roles they are chose to fill, they have troubled pasts. Like AG-nominee Matt…

  • States Rights… This Is Gonna Get Interesting

    I think States Rights are going to be at the forefront of the national stage come Jan 20th when Trump 2.0 comes into office. The GOP has always said they are Pro-States Rights. But that’s only when it serves them. This should be interesting. To say the least. Republicans have touted that they are for…

  • A Good Episode Of TWiG Post-Election Aftermath Impact On Tech.

    This is a short post to encourage everyone to watch this weeks This Week in Google on the TWiT.tv network. It’s about the Trump 2.0 administration and its impact on the tech sector. It was at first hard to watch being that the election was just decided the night before. But it’s a worthwhile watch.…

  • I’m Beside Myself Today

    I’m beside myself today. I pretty much cleared my day of meetings and just did what work I could muster. I can’t believe that Trump won. But then again, what’s with the Democrats going to the center? Obama won because he spoke to progressive causes. Our two party system is a wreck. And I can’t…

  • Matt Mullenweg At TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 – Analysis From The WP Minute Podcast Crew

    Great analysis of the TechCrunch Disrupt interview with Matt Mullenweg from Matt Medeiros and Brian Coords on The WP Minute Podcast. It’s worth a watch if you have 45 or so minutes. I think it’s worthwhile. Clearly.​ A good outline can be found here. If you don’t follow The WP Minute Podcast, you need to,…

  • Worried About Election Day 2024

    I’m so nervous about Tuesday. The 5th of November in America might be a triumph or a disaster. God, I hope Kamala Harris & Tim Walz win. If not I’m scared from the future of our country. It’s not just Trump, it’s Vance, it’s the power they have to shape the future of the country…

  • Rest In Peace Sandy. I Love You

    Today (10/30/2024) I found out that my pseudo-grandmother died. She was ~96 and lived a full and amazing life. She was my Grandpa’s sweetheart up until he died at age 80. She had three loves-of-her-life. Here first husband, Lloyd, Norman (My Grandpa), and Bob (who died a few years ago). I’ve always tried to stay…

  • I Was A Guest On The Catalytic Leadership Podcast

    I was lucky enough to be on William Attaway, Ph.D.’s podcast Catalytic Leadership. The episode aired yesterday. We had a great conversation and William is a great interviewer. He asked some really good questions. “As digital marketing challenges continue to evolve, entrepreneurs are faced with the daunting task of staying ahead of rapid changes in…
