Friday, January 30th, 2009Jeff Jarvis has it going on. If you can muster more book ideas from the Hothead, then read on.
Search and Destroy
Friday, January 23rd, 2009[I already got the gizzmo boiling at this entity. Yeah Hothead! -- see below]
I was shopping for a few new pieces in a line of German ski clothing I like. I like their streetwear; don’t need their $900 jackets. Yeah… kjus. You know it.
Anyway, here are the mundane steps that I had to take to find what I [...]
Everyone should sign the pact
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009This is a great way to keep your people on the right track.
Let me tell you something… My take on the Hudson River Landing
Sunday, January 18th, 2009I thought about this the other day watching the coverage of the USAir landing in the Hudson River. People I know with bad language skills start sentences with “let me tell you something…”. We are supposed to stop everything and hear them out.
But in this case, it’s important.
While Sully the pilot is my [...]

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009By far, “The Adventures of Johnny Bunko” is one of the greatest career/life guides you’ll ever read and you can read it in 30 minutes or less.

The company needs a hollywood version of the promo film but maybe Obama can help sales.
Make it a great day?
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Heard a voicemail today that ended with “… and make it a great day!…
Yuck.
It reminds me of this guy I knew as a kid that drove Fieros. Two of them. Until one burned. His name is Irving Shane.
He still has the perma smile picture cause it’s on his current website. He would do the back-slap mantra happy go lucky [...]
Don’t forget Swayze
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009I’m reminded by my earlier post on Randy Pausch that Patrick Swayze is probably headed for the same demise. It’s really too bad. “Point Break” is a top 15 favorite of mine and of course you never back baby in the corner do you? Here’s to his family and hope it all works out.
A music player named after me
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Hollywood BC puts up a noodled notion about Slacker from his perch in jury duty. He’s on a trial that entails locking up a woman who only likes clothes from the waist up — just his speed. Looks like it’ll be a 6 week-er. Just kiddin’ on some of that but we wish him lots of slacked music and expect [...]
In defense of California
Monday, January 12th, 2009There was an interesting headline on yahoo today.
This makes all my friends in other states chuckle I’m sure.
California is still the promised land. It’s a matter of knowing how to handle yourself through thick and thin. All things being equal, (50 states that ALL go through tough times) I’d rather be in this meteorological climate, [...]
