GIVING UP THE FIRST TIME

I don’t remember giving up, quitting, rising the white flag. But here we are, and I’m not alone. There’s the rocking chair, the TV, the food delivery. As long as everything lasts, why not rot away quietly? Why not? Here’s why not with Kurt Vonnegut:

INTERNET SHOWTIME SATURDAY WITH A SIDE OF HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

I’m a big fan of internet showtime, the daily scroll. But I keep it simple. I’m not looking for verification, authentication, or validation. Not looking for lawyers, guns, or money. What I’m looking for is attention grabbing posts, videos, and stories. Make me pause. Is that asking for too much?

CONTENT CREATION QUESTIONS TO ASK

Content creation are not my two favorite words. Content Creator sounds like a title bestowed by the Gods of the Internet. But if your goal is creating content for an online audience, where do you start? Ask a blogger with a track record of post production if you know one. If you don’t know an […]

TAKE ‘THE PAUSE’ TO SHOW RESPECT

‘The Pause’ in this post is the moment a medical team takes after a patient dies. Whoever is in the bed deserves a moment of quiet for the life they led. I’m a fan of people understanding the idea of respect and how it’s shown. But why wait until the last moment?

FINDING FAULT TAKES A HARD LOOK OUTWARD

Finding fault is one of the first things to do when things go wrong, as long as you don’t find yourself. And that takes practice. If you’re to blame and you know it, the job just got easier. Ask, “Why would I do that,” after a spectacular screw-up and you won’t get many answers. Why?

Meeting new people who roll out their personal identity is a thrill when it works out. I’ve learned so much by listening. (No matter what people who know me say, I do listen, just not to them.) An American family tradition, maybe your family tradition, is being kind to strangers, of giving others the benefit […]

WHY SMALL TOWN PEOPLE MATTER

Lost in the hyper speed of modern life on a 1.4 terabit internet connection is the human pace of life. Call it small town life for small town people, but remember we’re all small town people once you peel off the layers of sophistication. Jet setters once clamored for seats on the […]

THE LAST GENERATION (before the internet)

The Moment Of Internet Conception. Being the last of anything signals a changing of the guard, but the last generation before the internet? Is this special? It’s not the last Civil War, or WWI, veteran. It’s not the last generation before electric lights. If baby boomers are the last generation before the internet, then we’re […]

The Baby Boomer Side Of The Internet

What’s the first thing you do when you find a website that amazes? You either send the link to your social network because they’d all love to see it… Or, you try and break the site down to something you understand. You’re not hacking into it, just wrapping your mind around the idea. Here are […]
