He’s an American success story and wants to share his experience with others. It got me stirred up so much that I had to write about my thoughts on diversity. What…

    The Business of Blogging = Findability

    Please take one hour out of your week and watch this video from Dave Taylor. It’s a fantastic summary of why to blog, why to blog with your business, the benefits of blogging and search engine optimization, the benefits of comments on your blog as user generated content… it’s simply a wealth of information in a great presentation.

    WordPress Author: Add an Edit Profile Link if Logged In

    I wanted to update a WordPress site and add an ‘About the Author’ section under every post. It was a little tougher than I thought – and actually requires even more programming, but here’s the first cut: <p class="author"> <strong>The Author: </strong><?php the_author(); ?> <strong>Website: </strong><a href="<?php the_author_url(); ?>"><?php the_author_url(); ?></a> <strong>About: </strong><?php the_author_description(); ?></p> Next, I check to see…

    Algebra and Geometry… when will I ever use it? Google Maps!

    A good friend of mine, Glenn, is one of the founders of Family Watchdog. Family Watchdog is one of those fantastic stories… a company founded on a mashup that is performing a public service AND actually providing a living for its founders.

    Put Tips in your Text Fields with JavaScript

    Real estate is a premium on a web site, so I’m trying to be a little more efficient with mine. I found this nifty little script with the Cutline WordPress theme from Tubetorial. You can build a couple events directly in your text field HTML that will show and hide data as the field is entered and exited. Try it…

    Marketing Observations From The Long Tail

    Wired editor Chris Anderson released a book that would redefine how marketers and sales professionals view product strategy in the digital age: The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More. Two years later, the ideas remain as relevant as ever—if not more so—as companies across industries grapple with the implications of a market no longer…

    Social Bookmarks: Hide and Seek

    UPDATE: – With the new site design and the lack of usage of the links, I decided to take them off. No complaints thus far! This modification still works if you would like to use it. I was the butt of some joking going on over at Nektros. The entry was all about why you should get rid of all…

    The Humane Interface: New Directions for Designing Interactive Systems

    We spend our days navigating CRM dashboards, composing emails, tracking metrics, or building campaigns. The Humane Interface will feel less like a treatise on user interface design and more like a mirror to your daily frustrations. Jef Raskin—best known as the father of the Macintosh project at Apple—delivers a sharp, sometimes bristling critique of how software is built and why it…

    The Perception of Effort Matters in Business

    Because it “looks like you’re trying,” Seth writes. A dear friend of mine is out of town meeting with an organization about a nice position with them.
