POWER TOOTH FILLS THE GAP

February 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The power tooth, as defined on this blog, is more than a tooth. It is all your teeth, a lifetime of teeth. Is that powerful enough for you to keep up with them? More importantly, powerful enough for me, the tooth blogger?

SURRENDER CELEBRATION FOR GIVING UP

February 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Surrender celebration starts after you’re done. Whatever it was you were working on, when it’s done, you’re done. You’re not going to make anything better at some point. That’s when you need to know how to walk away.

BRANDED BLOGGER: WHO IS ON BRAND

January 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Every branded blogger works their site like a farmer. They prep the page, sew the seeds (words,) and irrigate. But the best branded bloggers do more than irrigate. They irritate. It goes like this:

BOOMER ENTERTAINMENT: A NICE RESTAURANT

January 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Boomer entertainment starts with a dinner plan. Eat in, get take out, or sit at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant. Which one is more entertaining for the long marrieds who’ve heard each other’s stories over and over and over as one of them likes reminding the other. “I’ve heard every story you’ve got […]

NEW ATTITUDE. WHAT HAPPENED? BARBIE

January 5, 2024 by David Gillaspie

A new attitude comes after a close call: “Damn, we’re in a tight spot.” Or a long developing revelation: “Since systematic scientific assessments began in the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has evolved from theory to established fact.” So why not take a look at this new […]

PORTLAND VIEW, THE OTHER PORTLAND

December 27, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The Portland view we’ve all seen is akin to a metro trash transfer station. You know the place, where you pull up with a load, pay the fee, and get directed to a one in a series of huge bins. Front loaders drive around pushing trash back so you have room. Then you back in, […]

ATTENTION ECONOMY PAID IN EXPOSURE . . . TO WHAT

November 19, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The attention economy is an agreement between those seeking, and needing attention, and those who accommodate them. But what about the end-user, the audience, you know, The People I like to call ‘the rest of us?’ We still matter since the ‘I’m paying attention’ economy is based on time, not money. No money for those […]
