Thankful for Windows 7 or Google Chrome OS

Going into the Thanksgiving weekend I thought it was a perfect time to write an opinion piece on these two new operating systems released in the past 30 days. How do they compare and what is best for you, is still to be determined and may need further thought and consideration.

Windows 7 has a new and improved Taskbar and Start Button functionality, Multiple Windows, Transitional Pop-up, and Shake Feature, better Security and overall seems to be more suited for traditional desktop users and mob… Continue

Sony Computer Entertainment of America Does Social Media Right - And You Should Do the Same!

My co-workers know how much I love my PSP, and how much of a love-hate relationship I have with Sony. But I just gotta give them credit for one of the best online social media marketing strategies I have seen. Not only does Sony have a very well run Blog, Twitter feed, and Facebook page, but they have both the KAHONAS and the common-sense needed to run them effectively. Other companies concerned about their branding in the brutal arena of social media would do well to follow their example.

The Internal Pilot Light

With another year zipping by I found myself reflecting this past weekend on 2009. One of the questions I asked myself was “why do I actually enjoy getting out of bed in the morning?” This question came about as I was talking with a close friend of mine who does not enjoy where he works. After he left our house and the kids were in bed I started to wind down and think why I actually enjoy what I do. There are many reasons, but the number one reason was I like to help people. I know, sounds corny… Continue

The Blind Side is a "must-see" for Thanksgiving weekend

I think it’s safe to predict that The Blind Side will earn Sandra Bullock an Academy Award nomination. Not that she alone makes the movie, because it is perfectly cast and excellently written and directed. Based on Michael Lewis’ 2006 book, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, the movie is the true story of Michael Oher (played by newcomer Quinton Aaron), the Baltimore Ravens rookie tackle who came from the Memphis projects. Homeless, uneducated, and dismissed by most as a lost cau… Continue

Breast and cervical cancer.... spending money to save lives? And at what cost?

In a non-scientific poll, the IndyChannel.com asked on Friday whether you believe in the recently published recommendations of less testing for certain cancers for women in specific age brackets. The poll is not perfect. It includes false choices. But for the sake of discussion, lets say we trust the data in the sur… Continue

MySpace is dead....the Prostitutes and MLM'ers have left...

MySpace has been struggling against the ever growing popularity of Facebook, but I believe the real “last nail in the coffin” is coming from Twitter. MySpace used to pummel my inbox with “friends” I have never met, but apparently found me irresistibly sexually attractive. I was beginning to think I had lost that cyber-sex appeal as my MySpace spam trickled to a stop. Lo and behold, my inbox has once again began filling with pleas from girls who desperately wanted to meet me. This time it wasn’t… Continue

Understanding Loyalty in the Facebook Era

Yesterday the New Oxford American Dictionary named “unfriend” as the top new word of 2009. Unfriend: to boot someone out of your life, either virtually, in real life, or both. The fact that we need a common word for this act may underscore a growing problem we’re having with loyalty these d… Continue
