If I’m going to be away from my desk, (during regular business hours1), I want to come away with a new idea, some knowledge, or both – preferably, both. During today’s Austin Content Marketing Meetup, Joey McGirr and Fernando Labastida debated the value of relationship marketing and content marketing, respectively. Throughout the discussion, I heard [...]

I notice my number change on a regular basis, but could care less who the individuals actually are. That said, I will admit I’ve figured it out accidentally on occasion, and it stings a little – when you realize you [...]
Continue Reading →If you decide where your night leads based solely on the ratio of TNA:CNB, then my friend, you’re probably not my friend. In addition, you probably don’t care about the underlying privacy issues related to using facial-recognition software in public places. UPDATE: SceneTap actually uses facial-detection software, not facial-recognition. Your privacy is safe, your gender [...]
Continue Reading →I must say, my reasons for disliking hospitals are somewhat legit: In general, the people there are sick.1 People die in there all the time. The food is gross.

The other 12% of the time, things irk me. Thinks like misspelled words: “ThNks” (just got that in an email), “publically” (in a a press release I proofed – submitted [...]

While neither are fun to have (from what I’ve read), the technical term for “dead butt syndrome” is not nearly as fun to say: gluteus medius tendinosis. See?
