Why I Should Be an Editor for the3six5
This post is dedicated to the3six5. I was the March 20th author in 2010, and in 2011 I hope to continue my participation as an editor. For those of you going to SXSW next year, make sure you check out their panel, it is sure to be an interesting one! Why I should be selected [...]
A Day in the Life – 10/11-12
This weekend (tonight, actually) I’m headed to Columbia, SC via Atlanta for the wedding reception of one of my closest college friends. There are a group of 10 girls that have been friends since the first week of college, and this is one of the rare chances that we all have to get together. Most [...]
A Day in the Life – 10/7-11
I’m enjoying this exercise of posting my tweets. It’s interesting to go back and see what conversations I’ve had, and be reminded of something I wanted to look up, or a person I need to get back to. Tweets from 10/11: Challenge this wk: eat healthy while eating lunch out four days. Today=salad/fruit. Hope @DistrictKitchen’s [...]
How to Make a Customer for Life
Earlier this year, I was introduced to Zappos through my work with Digital Royalty. Their CEO, Tony Hsieh, wrote a book called ‘Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose‘ which I enjoyed so much I read it twice in a row, and am still WOW’ed by how amazing the culture of a company [...]
A Day in the Life – 9/21/2010
The big talk yesterday was of Michael Vick being named the Eagles’ starter. Well-deserved from a football standpoint, and who are we to judge a man who made a mistake, was found guilty, and paid his debt to society? And now, yesterday’s tweets: Listening to Kurt Warner on 910AM. I like the guy but he [...]
A Day in the Life – 9/20/10
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? If so, I hope Amanda Rykoff is feeling very flattered right now, because I’m going to borrow an idea of hers. I’ve been struggling for content for my personal blog. Part of the reason for this is because I’m busy with work, and sincerely enjoying the downtime [...]
Director of Happiness – Football – Holiday Weekends
Other I want to be the ‘Director of Happiness’! A few days ago, I received an email that announced I had been named a VHP (Very Happy Person). I pretty much already knew that, but I was excited that someone else had noticed. ‘Delivering Happiness’ was a wonderful book that is very inspiring. It came [...]
Back to Blogging – Fantasy Football
Almost two weeks? Where has the time gone?? While it isn’t close to being the same, I feel like this new job is my ‘baby’ so I’m acclimating to continue my old life (blogging) and my new life (working full-time). So I’ll extend my apologies again for being a little lax with this… but know [...]
GridIron Maidens
Sports To me, this is the dead zone in sports. I’m not much of a baseball fan these days, which I attribute to my ADD. I can watch a good pitcher’s duel, or sit in a stadium, watching an occasional pitch while drinking a cold, frosty beverage. While I love soccer, post-World Cup MLS games [...]
George and Me
I have a George Steinbrenner story. And it’s a good one. I didn’t grow up a Yankees fan, though both my sister and my father are die-hards. So much so, that for my dad’s retirement gift, we flew the whole family to (the old) Yankee Stadium on the 4th of July. It was a great [...]
