This is personal space to write about anything that isn't social business strategy, social technology or web related. socialmediapath.com has that conversation covered and C7Group.com is focused on Social Business Integration and Social Business Software (SBS).
“Most people assume that evangelicals think that they have all the answers. I’ve found that there is a large segment of business leaders who are evangelical who are certain that they don’t have all the answers. Their decision-making is largely pragmatic, and they hope they wind up making the right decisions,” says sociologist D. Michael Lindsay. (Credit: Rice University/Photos.com)
Streamlining much of my work-flow for all social properties. My goals
are different than for many that I advise. It has made me consider
that there are two distinct paths no matter what tools you use:
Easiest and least time consuming. The learning curve can be steeper,
and the set-up more complex in order to arrive at the ongoing solution
that will eat up the least amount of time. i look forward to sharing
a mind-map diagram of my version 3.28

Funny that a friend, one that doesn’t know me so well, thought to post this short video clip on my Facebook wall. Awesome scene. Even better message.
“The Pursuit of Happyness” is one of my favorite films. Will Smith is a REAL actor and Gabriele Muccino is a wonderful Director – they did “Seven Pounds” together too.
Rock and Roll fans will tell you, Blues Traveler at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on the 4th of July is a wonderful, multi-sensory experience. Soulful inspiration found my wife, Liz, and I there ten years ago, July 4th, 2000. We became engaged to be married.

Listening to Live From The Fall, I can remember the warm dusk air at Red Rocks. The unmistakable harmonies of John Popper and company, Denver fireworks in the distance and the joy of the crowd: An enchanted evening.
It’s a milestone and a favorite moment. It’s a feeling I have to remember to duplicate whenever possible – to see my bride, somewhere beautiful, in a moment of bliss.
Most of the video online barely captures the sensation of listening to anything like the natural acoustics of Red Rocks so I’ll share this favorite sample of John Popper (Blues Traveler) playing No Woman No Cry live with Ziggy Marley.
See Red Rocks if you can, and dance under the stars.
Have you ever said something stupid? I have. Maybe you spoke out of turn? Let something slip that you shouldn’t have? I did. I also know some pretty smart folks that have done the same. What did you do? Humbly apologized, I hope. I also offered to do what I could to make it better, sans excuses.
It doesn’t always work, right? We all make mistakes but sometimes you’re still at the mercy of the maturity on the other side of the table. Granted, some open-mouth-insert-foot moments are worse than others. Forgiveness can take time.
Here are 3.5 tips for how to act when you’re the one that got “dissed”…
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything; It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good, just, and beautiful.”
