Don’t know if that is a word, but frankly don’t care I went CRT-free 5.5 years ago, and went dualie 4.5 years ago. Best idea ever – my eyes thank me, and having two screens is great for segmenting work. I just ran into Ultramon, and I can’t believe I wasn’t using this app. Beyond [...]
So – how do you keep track of contacts that you met? At ILM:07 I met about 50 people whose business cards I ended up with. Shamefully there are some people whose cards I look at now and think ‘huh?’ In my defense they have glossy cards which make it impossible to write on. Note [...]
No other way around it really – sometimes you do things that don’t work out. Sometimes you have to change your tracks (after you already changed your tracks). The recent ILM:07 was fun. I still have about 3-5 posts to write on it. And I will. But for now – we’ve placed a moratorium on [...]
Whew – its 2:10 am, and I’m finally home. We were stuck in the plan for roughly 2 hours due to excessive rain. Overall – great show. I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot. But – lets start off with the one negative (or I guess two). I listened in one [...]
Because stats are just so delicious.
Automated them. If you are doing a task that is repetitive and can be automated – you need to. If you are doing a task that can be automated – you really need to. Even if it doesn’t seem obvious or is complicated – the hours spent figuring it out is worth it. Case in [...]
The USD vs CAD chart on Yahoo pretty much sums up my experience with the USD. Being a Canadian company, when we started we had roughly 1 USD = 1.5 CAD. Now the rate is at 1 USD = 0.95 CAD. And it hurts. My spending power outside of the US has been dealt a [...]
At least that is how I see it Andy Sack has posted what he thinks are the two biggest mistakes Judy’s Book made. The first one is one we have battled with too. How far can we push on our users? MySpace was jump-started with spam-emails to a lot of people – but who remembers [...]
We’ve been slaving over this for months – but we finally finished the category work on iBegin Source. I’ll admit (for current and future clients) – we screwed up a bit. While the ‘business listing’ ‘category’ relationship was accurate, the actual category names were slightly off. A common issue was sometimes we had a category [...]
I thought I would mention it because I’ve mentioned it before (in regards to targeting). Plus it fits in with my latest post. The one thing that burns super-bright in my head – liquidity. Having cash on hand is just plain useful. You could have a deal with massive company X and giant company Y, [...]
