  • It’s the economic climate, not just me.

    Just had a call with another marketing professional that I know from my area. She confirmed that business is slow for her too. This doesn’t make me feel any better, but at least I know it’s not something I did. Just gotta keep networking and work on building out the Podcast coaching business. This is…

  • Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

    Billy Joel Documentary On HBO Max

    Just saw this great documentary (part one of two) on Billy Joel — Billy Joel: And So It Goes. He is such a talented guy and his music is amazing. I never knew how autobiographical his songs were. This documentary really makes me appreciate his music even more than I did before. ​The first part…

  • Fun times in the Pocano Mountains

    Fun times in the Pocono Mountains. At Camelback with the wife and kid. They have a great water park.

  • Packing Hell

    Why is it that even packing to go on an overnight vacation takes so much effort. I don’t remember this being such a process when I was in my 20s. Probably because the amount of stuff I have to remember and bring has grown as I age. Especially since having a kid, the amount of…

  • The Worst People Are In Charge Of The Most Powerful Tech… AI

    We have some of the worst humans in charge of the most powerful technology out there… Artificial Intelligence. [@anildash](https://micro.blog/anildash@me.dm) on the Intelligent Machine Machines made this point and it was hit home by the hosts, [@leo](https://micro.blog/leo), [@jeffjarvis](https://micro.blog/jeffjarvis@mastodon.social), and Paris Martineau. It’s scary, really scary. And these people support the fascist regime in the White House…

  • Digital Business Card Thoughts

    I was a big fan of a small smart business card outfit mTap for a while. But I’m concerned that it’s not going to make it. So I’m hedging my bets and going with Popl. I thought about trying Dot, but they are more expensive for less features. I do like having physical cards, but…

  • Payment Processors And Steam Banning Games

    Payment Processors And Steam Banning Games

    Steam, the game distribution market place, has a new game ban policy. ​I see why some of these games are raising flags, but I also get really annoyed when payment processors decide what people can and can’t buy. If I want to look at naughty stuff, that isn’t breaking the law where I’m at, let…

  • Shit You Buy On Trips

    Listening to The Morning Stream this morning. Brian and Scott are talking about things they were roped into buying while on vacation. I was in Italy in college and somehow I got roped into buying packaging for a poster I bought buy a random guy on the street. I mean it kept the poster nice…

  • Learning From Our Past

    I feel like old cartoons and videos that might not be PC anymore shouldn’t be banned. They should come with a disclaimer that they are a product of their time. They are historical and history shouldn’t be erased, it should be learned from and educated on. For example Disney’s Song of the South is extremely…

  • HLS Video

    I’m excited for the inclusion of HLS to the podcasting standard. I’d love to be able to listen to a podcast in the car, then when I leave the car and sit on my couch toggle on the video and keep watching! I love what RSS.com and Transistor.fm are doing to push this mainstream. Here’s…
