Designing Products, Experiences, and Marketing
I keep seeing people debate whether or not kids should learn to write in cursive. I hear it from my wife who’s a teacher. I see it in my social media streams. I see advocates on both sides from both boomer generations and teenagers. My social barometer tells me that the “we don’t need to…
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m what some people would call a Nerdfighter. And one of the guys (John Green) that “founded” the vlog that created the community now known as Nerdfighteria recently spoke to an audience of advertisers at Brandcast 2015 (an event held by Google to celebrate YouTube’s 10th birthaversary). Being a…
This is not a post about MeerKat per se. And it’s not a post about Snapchat per se. But IT IS a post about how both of these apps are influencing a change in perspective on something that has been culturally defined for almost a century. I have a tiny bit of experience in video…
This morning I stumbled my way into a Google Hangout with none other than Joseph Jaffe.

To personally kick off my Social Brand Forum 2013 experience, I thought I’d take a cynical/satirical stab at bringing a decade old Ska Rock song (yes, I still listen to RBF consistently) into 2013 relevancy with just a few minor tweaks. Without further ado, to the tune of Don’t Start a Band by Reel Big…
Monday (AM Commute): Six Pixels of Separation – Mitch Joel I’ve listened to every episode for nearly a year and a half now, and have gone back through to listen to many older ones. Mitch is a brilliant guy, and has a fantastic ability to connect elements in the digital and marketing environments that most…
That’s a fairly drastic headline, but I had something happen to me today that was the result of a feature glitch on eBay’s app. Two weeks ago I sold my iPad on eBay. The buyer evidently didn’t bother looking at the pictures, and then complained about scratches on the 3 year old iPad 2. Because…
