The DIP by Seth Godin

January 3, 2011

Yesterday I declared my 10 events of 2011. My clairvoyance must be in full effect, because today I can already check one event off the list. I read a book. The Dip, by Seth Godin.

Champagne for my Campaign: 2011 Word of the Year

January 2, 2011

It’s not a bad idea to find a way to narrow your whole year down to a single word.  It widdles down the chaos of 365 24-hour shifts into something more manageable. Imagine if you had a theme for all those 12 hour work days, those long nights, all the sleep you missed out on, [...]

D. Morris: check for smoke signals

December 28, 2010

Last night, my grandma received a startling phone call: her Tuesday Square Dance was cancelled this week. She immediately played the role of socialite, busted out her address book, and dialed the other members of her dance club. The only problem is, there was a new dancer yet to be counted for.
