Blog Relaunch Shoots Blanks, Misses Writing Target

September 1, 2017 by

    Thinking of starting a blog, relaunching a blog? Good.   If you’re a writer, then I’m talking to you. Whether you dabble with words, put a few things on paper, or carve out time to organize the book you’ve been writing the past few years, it’s you.   The world of bloggers, columnists, […]

Microsoft, Amazon, Shocks World With Alexa, Cortana. Houston Next?

August 30, 2017 by

Companies with arguably the most sophisticated logistics in the world, the top supply chain to feed demand for their life changing products, Amazon and Microsoft have joined each other at the only possible place: your brain. They should connect over Hurricane Harvey and Houston next.   But first, these business behemoths agreed to let Alexa […]

PROFESSOR JIM JEFFERIES EXAMINES SOUTHERN HERITAGE WITH OLD MEN WHO WRITE BOOKS AND ONE WHO GIVES THEM CONTEXT

August 23, 2017 by

  If it takes an outsider like Jim Jefferies to explain things in America, the story doesn’t change, just the angle of interest. Jefferies reminds me of history professors from a few small discussion classes seniors took to graduate, symposiums. They’d show up slightly tanked, looking like they woke up in the same clothes they […]

CAPITAL ONE vs SANTREESE S. KNIGHTEN, CHASE BANK

August 23, 2017 by

I nominate Santreese S. Knighten for customer service professional of the year. From her work as a Chase Bank personal banking officer she showed what it means to take the extra step with a Capital One fraud case. You probably make the right calls when you travel? Get the mail stopped, the paper delivery put […]

FAMILY COLLECTIONS OVERLOAD? OFFERUP

August 22, 2017 by

    Where is the line between family collections and hoarding? How can you tell when you’re over that line, way over?   In this well researched post on BoomerPdx I will dip into the experience of a Museum Collection Manager for an interview. Readers familiar with such details will automatically know what I’m talking […]

HOW TO NOT SEE THE EVIDENCE

August 17, 2017 by

  Stare and compare the evidence. That’s what a telecom pro called the first key to success. Is something wrong? Look at it. Look hard.   Stare a hole in it, then compare it to normal. Normal works across the board. Abnormal, like the brain from Abby Normal in Young Frankenstein, doesn’t work for everyone. […]

FEAR OF FAILURE COLLECTS REJECTS

August 15, 2017 by

  Fear of failure is the biggest concern in life. Across the board. For everyone whether they’re aware of it, or not. Heart failure in a hospital brings a Code Red, Code Blue, a code color that brings the crash cart cavalry to start humping and pumping a patient back to life from their flat […]

A PERSONAL BLOG FOR PUBLIC TIMES

August 14, 2017 by

  Personal blog speaks to the heart, not the wallet. I see this on blogs all the time, maybe you do too. “LEARN TO SELL, ADVERTISE.” “LEARN TO ATTRACT MORE TRAFFIC.” “LEARN TO CREATE CLASSES TO TEACH OTHERS TO SELL AND ADVERTISE AND ATTRACT MORE TRAFFIC.” It’s all good, but doesn’t it sound like it […]

WRITING PARTNERS PLEASE STAND UP

August 12, 2017 by

    Responsible parents? Responsible parenting? Writing partners? What’s is really mean? It’s more than a roof over their head and food on the table. And when does it end? We want answers, dammit, and not the easy ones. Too easy to say, “You’re eighteen, my jobs doe. Get out.” But you could and no […]

AMAZON FULLFILLMENT FROM END USER TO YOUTUBE

August 11, 2017 by

  An Amazon fullfillment center isn’t the work of the devil. That shade of red is special to places like Walmart. In either example it’s about material culture, things, objects. By watching American Roadshow on PBS you get a sense of the power objects hold. If that’s a little too tame, the same power emanates […]
