the ups-and-downs and sides-to-sides of the little things that make up life
I’ve spent the week in beautiful San Diego at the iMedia Brand Marketer Summit. It’s one of my favorite conferences to go to. As always, the conference was great and the opportunities to meet my fellow marketers were even better. This year, the top five takeaways were: It’s the Year of Mobile (again). You have […]
Dear Person with Ego Problems, Thank you for belittling me. Thank you for thinking you understand my business model better than I do. Of course, your knowledge is based off researching online comments. Great. But, in the real world, up close and personal, things are a little different. It’s like the person who says, “I […]
I once read something along the lines of: Commit yourself to quality from day one. Concentrate on each task, whether trivial or crucial, as if it’s the only thing that matters (it usually is). Excellence and quality are something I strongly believe in. But, I also believe in taking risks, trying new things and doing […]
– Having your competitor pay for a snazzy design: $20,000 – Surfing the Web for How To’s: $0 – Knowing HTML and how to jerry-rig things? PRICELESS
High Standards = Disappointment Honestly, I don’t think I have high standards. But, I bring my A game and I expect everyone I work with to do the same. Of course, when people don’t, I feel like the below picture.

Patience is not a virtue of mine. I try and sometimes succeed, especially if it involves kids. But, lately, all I feel like I’ve done is wait. A few things that I currently hate waiting on: Web Analytics Data. Ugh. Waiting 24 hours to see if your data populates correctly kills me. What a waste of time. Make […]
I’ve experienced some less than stellar BDA’s in my day, but the one I’m currently working with takes the cake. And I mean the WHOLE cake. Needless to say, I’ve doubled the yardage I swim in the morning. Otherwise, I’d be so pissed I’d probably get arrested for trying to beat the shit out of […]
We just launched a new mini site. To be clear, it’s not a microsite. It’s a mini version of the full blown site with the little content we currently have. Frustratingly, I came into the process one week before we were set to launch. No one on the team had ever been part of a site […]
