After day 2 of the Dale Carnegie Leadership seminar, I'm getting lots of great knowledge. It's also interesting to take this with a junior colleague, and will compare notes on our experiences.

I got one last training ride in today before this weekend's Pan-Mass Challenge. 160 miles? No problem! I will be sure to send Utterz and Twitter dispatches throughout the ride (it's not a race!).
While fundraising (for the Jimmy Fund, a children's cancer charity) continues until October, I would love to ...

"There's always room for pie." I'm sure that's not the actual caption for this religious painting, but the ad-sticker placed on this newspaper photo creates an amusing context.

For PodCamp Boston 3, I was fortunate to be invited to sit on a panel with crayon's Greg Verdino, Morpheus Media's Adam Broitman (pictured below, with me, as a make-good for leaving him out of my "Bald Marketing Bloggers" post), and ooVoo's Philip Robertson, titled "Smart Social Media Marketing. ...

Ever notice that if you stop something for a while, you do it even better when you pick it up? Sometimes you need a fresh perspective- and a little rest, whether you are brainstroming creative ideas, writing a document, or looking for your keys.

Well, PodCamp Boston is over for another year. What did I learn? I found people were asking me more questions than in the past. Is that because I've been around? Perhaps, but what I can say is that it is nice for an SEO professional to be able ...

Day 1? PodCamp Boston 3 has gone in a whirl, to be honest. After helping the harder-working volunteers with registration, it was off to my part in a panel with Greg Verdino of crayon, Adam Broitman of Morpheus Media, and Philip Robertson of ooVoo, on "Smart Social Media Marketing." The ...
