Keeping Track

September 29, 2009

What’s new in my world? Top 10 most recent developments (in no particular order): I’ve read nearly a dozen books in the last three months. My High School friend is getting married this weekend. My house is empty during the day– The cat is driving me nuts. I’ve been hitting the gym five times a [...]

Nostradamusings of Social Media

September 21, 2009

I’m trying harder to become a prognosticator of social media trends. I feel that having a firm grasp and/or opinion on where I think it’s going will convey a stronger sense of passion for the medium during interviews. Rather than just being along for the ride, I’ll be steerin’ this media ship to where I [...]

Hikes

September 21, 2009

In an attempt to clear my mind and save some money, I hiked Mt. Monadnock in New Hampshire this weekend with my sis and dad. I kept a comfortable pace between my climb-the-mountain-as-fast-as-you-can sister and my I-thought-the-elliptical-would-train-me-for-this father.

The truth is, I can’t really enjoy myself [...]

The New Value Proposition

September 5, 2009

Yeah, I’m changing my employment strategy tactics. I’m shaking things up a bit. Why? First, consider the exact number of interviews I’ve had. It’s put together in this nice little equation: Three Phone interviews + Five 1st round interviews + Three 2nd round interviews = 11 Interviews But unlike the Count, I’m not particularly jovial [...]

Not A Tweet Deal For The NFL

September 1, 2009

Well it’s been decided. In what appears to be an attempt to limit play-by-play disclosure, Roger Goodell has metaphorically killed two birds with one stone– the first in the form of the light blue avian Twitter mascot and the second (less literal) being my desire to follow NFL players during game-time. I can see the [...]
