GranataPet recently launched a new interactive campaign that shows how clever marketing can get. As featured on Mashable, this campaign (running in Germany) introduced a new, Pomegranate-based dog food to their target market (dog walkers) at a plausible point of entry (while they are walking their dogs.) Check in on Foursquare. Your dog gets a [...]

Ankle: Broken or Sprained? Uninsured, either way.

Accidents happen. And in America, they bankrupt you. I had an accident on Sunday. Totally predictable, run of the mill accident. Running at top speed, in a padded gymnastics facility, I pulled off a long kong (diving jump with my feet behind me) over a 5-foot tall vault. The landing was not glamorous; I turned [...]

I had the great privilege to meet Gary Vaynerchuk last night at Powell's books. If you don't know who @garyvee is, get a Twitter account, already! Vaynerchuk is one of the most influential social media thought leaders online today. He has used social media as a business strategy, building relationships the way small-town economies had [...]

Amazing pants.

Last week, I was introduced to Thunderbolt Sportswear. I’ve been hooked. These pants retail for $188. They are black, they come in a jeans cut, and the fabric is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It is durable beyond belief, but most importantly, stretchable in every direction. I put these pants through their paces last week. [...]

All the Old Notebooks

Today I went out for a beer with a box of my old notebooks. The box down center, not the four shelves behind it; the corpus and I have a date next month for Collage, when I cull whats worth keeping from a decades worth of shopping lists and examination notes. What I found this [...]

Walking Meditation

By |2011-03-15T08:19:08+13:00March 15th, 2011|Introspection|

Breathing in, I know I am breathing in. Breathing out, I know I am breathing out. Breathing in, I dwell in the present moment. Breathing out, I know this is a wonderful moment. I spent some time with this meditation this morning, and I realized that I tend to spend my time wayyyyyy [...]

Alone, I don’t go far.

I am squashing my ability to accomplish by trying to accomplish everything alone. I am sitting in an empty television studio, that I have access to today, by myself. Symbolically, I cannot record. I had a basic idea of how to do it; I brought one DVD and a seven minute juggling act, and thought [...]
