  • Why We Watch Reality TV

    Why We Watch Reality TV

    I watched a few of these shows today.  It has the power to suck you in and make you watch.  I watched a show about towing cars today (I quite liked that one), one of the housewives of orange county show (not the whole thing), and now I’m watching swamp people. …

  • Spreadsheet Identity

    Spreadsheet Identity

    I know how to use them.  I just spent the last 2 hours working on it.  I enjoy setting it up.  I enjoy creating them, but I am not a big fan of entering all the information.  I don’t think it’s bad work.  I just don’t have a Spreadsheet Identity.…

  • My Student Identity

    My Student Identity

    I miss my student identity.  Well, I miss the learning and the studying. I don’t miss the deadlines.  I don’t miss paying for school.  I don’t miss studying and researching with expectations.  I don’t miss the drive up to the university.  I don’t miss needing to be in the library…

  • Asynchronous and Absent

    Asynchronous and Absent

    That describes the online conversations of so many Twitterers.  Conversations happen over time.  It might sometimes be days before you respond or reply to a tweet to you.  You don’t even think anything about it when you don’t get a reply.  Sometimes you might be surprised to get one immediately.…

  • Shout Into the Void

    Shout Into the Void

    I was listening to a podcast yesterday, and I heard Gina Trapani say this line.  The context of the conversation had to do with how on Twitter – we can Shout Into the Void and not be heard.  In context, it makes sense.  They were talking about being saying things…

  • The Deeper Open Principle

    The Deeper Open Principle

    I don’t know what to call it.  It’s such a lame name for a post, but it communicates it enough. The more education I receive – and it has been alot – the more I realize this principle.  The deeper I get into my studies and research, the more open…

  • Wisdom and Identity

    Wisdom and Identity

    If you want help figuring out your identity – you simply need to ask someone who has wisdom.  Typically, those that care about you jut a little further down the road have it.  Not all do, but you know who they are.  They have insight into life and pain that…

  • RIP Whitney

    RIP Whitney

    Rest In Peace Whitney Houston. I’m sure you are all watching it on the news right now.  I’m sure it’ll be on the news for the next few days. As I listen to the news – they all connect with Whitney because she left their mark on their lives.  Piers…

  • Your Audience

    Your Audience

    Evidently, this is my 2nd post entitled Your Audience.  The first one is here, but this one is a little different. I was wondering how much you would pay to get an audience.  What would you do to get an audience?  Would you give your stuff away to get an…

  • Sometimes You Get In the Way

    Sometimes You Get In the Way

    Sometimes you get in the way of yourself.  Sometimes you are so afraid of a rejection that you get in the way of yourself.  Sometimes you doubt your ability that you come across as scared.  Sometimes you don’t write that proposal because you just don’t think anyone would read it.…
