We all have a superpower

March 28, 2012

I believe we all have a “superpower,” no matter how niche or small it may seem. In the game world, we always know precisely what our superpower is and what level it’s at, how we’re being scored and how each action affects that score. Our superpower is explicitly shown to and valued by other players. [...]

March 26, 2012

Silly post, but on a flight to London last week I was a few rows behind Usher. And then this weekend on my way to the Dome to watch the Hoosiers take on Kentucky, I was on Marta with Matt Ryan (Matty Ice to you Falcons fans). Usher was with a full on entourage whereas [...]

And the trend continues #azizansari

March 23, 2012

Did I mention I love this trend? The one where artists sell their albums and specials directly to the customer via their website, for a crazy low price because they’re cutting out the old, arthritic middle men? Yep, I mentioned back in December when Louis C.K. (my favorite comedian) did this. Brilliant then, brilliant now. [...]

Every once in a while I see a title for an article or blog post and before I read it, I “steal” the title and see what I would write on the topic. Like this. This time I saw the title, “5 Things You Should Tell Your Colleagues Today”, on Inc., and immediately wanted to [...]

All human beings are entrepreneurs

March 19, 2012

All human beings are entrepreneurs. When we were in the caves, we were all self-employed … finding our food, feeding ourselves. That’s where human history began. As civilization came, we suppressed it. We became “labor” because they stamped us, “You are labor.” We forgot that we are entrepreneurs. – Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner [...]

I find this very annoying

March 15, 2012

So Kevin Rose builds up Oink to 100,000 users and then pulls the plug because it was just an experiment? Super for the 100,000 people that took the time to download and use the app. Appreciate it. Can’t wait to try his next startup. I’m going to be super eager to waste time on it [...]

March 14, 2012

There are two iPhone apps on my second screen (my test screen) that I played with over the weekend – Highlight and CardMunch. Highlight has been getting a lot of buzz over the past week, touted as SXSW’s “Breakout Star”. I wasn’t able to attend SXSW, but I heard a lot of people were loving [...]

Verizon, you complete me

March 12, 2012

Some of you know the saga I went through with cell phone carriers lately. The long and short is, I used to be on AT&T and in Atlanta the service is very poor and at a certain point I just couldn’t take it anymore. So I researched and saw that Sprint had very good reviews [...]

What advice would you give the younger you?

March 9, 2012

Yesterday I went to lunch with some of my Engauge colleagues and I was asked the question, “What advice would you give the 27 year old you?” It’s probably one of, if not the, best questions I’ve ever been asked in these sessions. So, what advice would I give my younger self? Other than “invest [...]

How I’m starting my week to help focus on the important things

March 7, 2012

Focus is tough. Especially when you’re in leadership or management roles and you have to largely create your own schedule. It’s very easy to spend far too much time on things that either come naturally to you, are things you enjoy more than others, or the things that come at you throughout the day (fighting [...]
