  • National Identity 2

    It doesn’t matter who wins – it only matter how the US does.  Just listen to the commentators. Of course, if the US won, it’d be a different situation.  It’s funny to me though that the strong sense of National Identity and mind.  I’m watching the Olympics – Norway just…

  • Do As I Say

    ….but don’t do as I do. I’m reading Blue Ocean Strategy it’s a book that talks about how as a business – the goal is to find a Blue Ocean – to be the place to market where there is no competition.  Julien Smith would refer to it as “making…

    I know that there are no rules for Twitter, but realized that there were some rules that I followed.  Check it out here – Lem’s Twitter Rules. Just like my last post, if you’re not on Twitter, this post won’t make any sense to you – you should read these…

  • The Awkwardness of Adolescence

    I was on my way home from lunch yesterday.  I experienced the awkwardness of adolescence.  There’s something about it.  I mean, how mean is it that just when you start to develop those feelings for someone of the opposite sex – your body decides to change in weird ways and…

    A few days ago, I wrote a post entitled-Where I Am. I was listening to Media Hacks this morning (a podcast) and they were talking about this website called pleaserobme.com. It raises awareness about privacy issues in the social media space. It is not meant to be used to actually…

  • Olympic Stories

    Have you been watching the Olympics?  It’s always such a fun experience – watching the Olympics.  It’s great to see some amazing feats, and I become a 5 minute fan of Curling – Curling of all things.  (I still don’t know how it’s played) But there I am mesmerized by…

  • Helping Haiti

    About a month ago, I posted about some of my friends that are raising money to help Haiti.  Here’s that post from a month ago.   They have done benefit concerts, tennis tournaments, and other events to raise funds for a variety of organizations in Haiti.  They are selling shirts…

  • Say It Out Loud

    There is something so powerful about doing this.  When it’s something that is easily said, saying it out loud can be easy.  For something that you have never verbalized, there’s something about saying it out loud that makes it real – even if no one hears it. Sometimes it can…

  • Need to Reboot

    I have heard 2 authors talk about our bodies using computer analogies to describe what we need to do in our physical bodies. Jamie Oliver talked about how we need to “reboot” our bodies. Tim Ferris will be coming out with a book this year that deals with how to…

  • Five Word Story

    This is such a great tool to help figure stuff out.  It’s a tool that you can use to describe pretty much anything.  I used it for a series of talks that I recently gave.  I just asked those that were there to write down 5 words that would tell…

  • Influencer

    If you create stuff, write, play, mold, paint, or pretty much anything that comes from inside of you that you are able to share with someone else – you are an influencer.  You can choose the channel, the medium, the media, or the canvas – it doesn’t matter – if…
