Respecting the Facts. Participating in the Conversation. "Where Analysis Meets Creativity."
Perhaps the current NSA Spying allegations are not really as big a deal as they are being made out to be. Or, perhaps they are. Either way, do we really need to wait for a worst-care-scenario or 100%-undeniable-facts to be presented to us before we re-evaluate what our current privacy expectations are? Whether “the leaker” is a hero [...]
Most simply stated: “Many people are not happy in their jobs.” The above statement is not new News. There are probably several sets of statistics around that I could look up and quote here to validate that claim. However, for employers and employees, having facts and figures on hand that support current job satisfaction levels [...]
Currently, one item near the top of my Bucket List, i.e., the list of things that I want to do before I die, is to take an RV trip coast-to-coast across the United States. If I were to take that dream even further, I’d even be documenting that trip for some kind of video or [...]
Software application developers release new programs in Beta all the time. Technically speaking, Alpha and Beta Testing is a formal part of their development process, known as User Acceptance Testing (UAT). At the UAT part of the development process, developers know that not every desired feature of the final end product has been built in [...]
If you are like me, and you don’t have a business of your own (yet), the thought of someday running your own business never completely leaves your mind. Even if you are good at regularly pushing aside those distracting thoughts, you still find that they have a way of unexpectedly resurfacing from time to time. [...]
Recently, two snippets of conversations that I came across in online social communities caught my attention in an unexpected way. The two tidbits were: (1) a short phrase referring to obesity as one of the “diseases of affluence”; and (2) a separate unrelated comment mentioning that a video about income inequality in the U.S. didn’t [...]
Particularly when it comes to advice on “how to be successful”, but also in many other matters, I generally believe that there isn’t a singular right or wrong way to do anything (of course, that’s assuming ethics are being held in high regard here). While success does leave clues, it is also often said that [...]
The information age is still in its early stages of evolution. Five years from now, technology will be remarkably different, and without a doubt, much smarter, than it is today. The current mantra in the marketing world is that “Content is King.” Along that line, personally, I am very excited to see, along with the [...]
So, you’ve listened to the lasted motivational videos that you probably come across by email, Facebook or Twitter. Maybe it’s an inspirational Tony Robbins video (YouTube) or a kind-voiced yet still kick-in-the-pants Seth Godin interview (Audio Podcast). You are all psyched up to make something happen, but then you realize something. As much as you know about the [...]
As much as we may want it to be so, the reality is that creativity is not available on demand in the same way that the Nike “Just Do It” slogan simply states. Creativity is like a child whose behavior you can influence but you can’t control. How often is it that we come up [...]
