Nothing wrong with a little self confidence.

Is Antivirus Enough?

Recently one of my kids got nuked by the "Personal Antivirus" malware. It's a sneaky thing that is installed when you view the wrong (and that means a compromised site, not a bad site) website and then tries to scare you into buying a $19.95 subscription for updates. The funny part is that this thing installed itself despite Norton Security suite being up to date and running.

Recently Symantec's Da… Continue

Can we break the cycle of tax insanity?

After reading the post on Michael Moore's GM ideas it really hit me how tough it's going to be for our nation to become less wasteful and more efficient. Why? Our government is funded by taxing an ever increasing amount of waste - and if we become more efficient in any way other than producing more stuff to sell, we bankrupt some level of government:


  • Constant redevelopment creates jobs and lower and middle class income tax (the only kind that is really paid) for the federal and state g

Censoring the Discussion on Smaller Indiana


Recently, I noticed something I rarely see when I posted a follow up to a blog post on Smaller Indiana. It said something to the effect that:

"Your comment will appear after the moderator approves it"

Hmm, interesting. So now someone is moderating. Fine, I'll wait. Flash forward tw… Continue

Chocolate Blues Wrap

I just wanted to say thanks to all the people here on Smaller Indiana and the people from the Linking Indiana LinkedIn Group for going to yesterday's Chocolate, Blues and Business Festival. First off, I met some great people in. Over 2,300 people came, and it is absolutely breathtaking how many people I knew from profile pictures, and how many people knew me. Second, as one of the owner… Continue

Be Careful What you Tweet

Chris Flener got me thinking (Chris has a habit of being thought provoking) with a comment he made. Chris's was to the effect that people's comments, especially political ones, on sites like Smaller Indiana should not be used against them in real life. Ethics aside, reality is that everyone from your next employer to law enforcement to th

Hello, I am new to Smaller Indiana and thought I would reach out to connect and say hello. My name is Brandon and I am the Director for Musical Medicine. We build music libraries for hospitals.

Are you planning on attending the Chocolate Blues and Business Networking Festival next Thursday? I hear it's going to be huge, they expect about 1,500 people to attend. It should be a great networking day! I have free tickets, if you need a ticket, let me know and I'll email you one. If you want more details about it, it's listed under events on the 26th.

Have a good day and I look forward to networking with you. Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you,
Brandon

Good questions. My partner is at South By Southwest this week. Have several things going on. I think I talked to Erik about participating on the panel discussion in the morning. Would you like to teach a break out session in the afternoon? On blogging strategies for public relations professionals that they can use for their clients, perhaps? My emai: yourprguy@gmail.com

My number is 812-219-3733 and my email is abarlow88@hotmail.com

Hi Mike. I've seen your Professional Blog Services website. Found out about it from Erik Deckers. I'm part of the Continuing Education Academy for the PRSA Hoosier Chapter. In April we're planning a seminar on social media. I'm putting this bug in your ear because we are thinking about having a panel discussion, and we'd like our panel to be one of professionals to educate PR practitioners about social media.

Thanks for yawning on me. Was that a giant breezy bear yawn or a silent but deadly yawn? Oh, Mr. ProBlogger Man please explain your indifference. Please and Thank You.
I may be boring but I'm always polite.
