I’m sitting in the lobby of Project 03′s first case study. It’s 9:30 pm. The uber high ceilings of those beautiful rustic downtown structure is brilliantly lit with a blend of direct and indirect rack lighting. The cars of the main drag keep scurrying to my left as the sign of the corporate bank across [...]

It’s almost 3am, nearly 3 months since I last wrote on here. I’m on a couch up in Duneland. We tried margarita recipes. I’m not drunk, but I can see that neighborhood from here through the soothing peach light of the street lamps. My mentor Douglas Karr would point out that one shouldn’t stop writing [...]

It’s taken a couple days to get back into the groove back home. I’ve been gone four weeks and the world feels like it’s passed me by. Thus is the tempo of Internet marketing. Therein it goes I just finished working on wearing out my running shoes. And I just finished killing some ants at [...]

Before holing up for the 2009 Fall season in preparation for the great Ft. Myers, Margaritaville holiday season getaway, we decided this Saturday will be devoted to recreate the greatest experience in 2009 – a smoked turkey sandwich on pretzel bun from Three Floyd’s Brewery of Munster, IN. I know, of all the tings we [...]

I spent most of my weekend within sight of a beautiful day. I have a corner room and both windows were open. The breeze coming through the windows was as soothing and refreshing as I imagined it during last year’s cabin-fever winter. At the time of this writing, The T.O. Show is on as I [...]

I got my Google Analytics Individual Qualification and am now an Inbound Marketing Certified Professional. And I breathe a lot easier. But it took this first half of 2009 for me to re-learn the value of addition by subtraction. Much like how most veteran baseball pitchers learn that to achieve controls on their pitches they [...]

Somewhere last night between the rain-soaked moments while slipping out to the saloon’s side patio in the brick alley between rounds so MaxPower could sneak a smoke, a conversation awoke. After we purged ourselves of professional anxiety, we helped each other repel down to those visions of dreams fulfilled. I talked about Book of Blues; [...]

Prophet’s rebuilding a 3-wheeler, Marie is shaving down the carpet around the compartment doors on her brother’s bass boat, and since my handy man skill set consist of “being smart at lifting heavy things,” I’m on the sidelines out in the backyard at Prophet’s house chronicling the final steps of the great fishing boat restoration [...]

Social Media, SEO, Copywriting, Analytics, wanting a book published…I think of little else. I keep tellin’ a buddy of mine that balance of work and recreation is needed in life. If you don’t do both you’ll have neither. My buddy calls my advice hypocritical. There’s a point in that logic. I keep preachin’ it but [...]

In a scary thought, weather isn’t delaying my long flight home. Mechanical issues with the first plane has backed me up 2 hours. Who made this flight up: Ft. Myers to Orlando to pick up passengers on the way to Columbus, OH, then a layover (now extended further) on my way to Chicago. Then, once [...]

I overslept, missed the ride to Sanibel Island and so instead of swimming in the gulf of Mexico, I’m catching up on episodes of CSI while I wait for the heat of the day pass on by. Man, Peterson leaving the show. Besides him being a Cubs fan, he can stoneface bad pre-show puns like [...]

Much like New Yorkers, Those from The Region flock as fast as they can down to the shady palm trees of Florida. Especially the Gulf side. We in The Region call them snow birds. At the time of this posting, there will be five days til I get on a plane that is, hopefully, headed [...]

I went into the national celebration called Black Wednesday not realizing how much I needed a release. The release came in moments wrapped up in ironies. Real ironies, not the poetic moments people mistake for ironies. Then again, I hold off on that because I might get to the end of this thought and mistake [...]

Here is a series of pics of my co-workers in their HallowGreen costumes during a HallowGreen Potluck Lunch. We unofficially title the series “Dr. McNinja Versus the Zombies.” 1) Dr. McNinja is swarmed by the remaining Zombies. 2) Dr McNinja gaining control of the zombies. 3) Dr. McNinja gives remaining Zombie last rites. 4) Another [...]
