Why I am not an information marketer
Hooray for Guest Post Wednesday and the incomparable Mike! photo credit: tmray02 This is one of those blog posts that arise from a comment (you know those?). In this case, a comment I left on Cath Duncan’s blog. I said, in part: Implementation, not information, is what makes a difference to people’s lives. Maybe I…
Art and the axe – Scheherazade’s example
photo credit: freeparking In the sandswept and mighty empire of Persia, the King of Kings found that his wife had been unfaithful and completely lost his shit. As vengence on the entire perfidious sex, he married a virgin and had her executed in the morning. The next night he did it again. And again. For…
Mon dieu! Monday!
It’s Monday, and as always on my Official Day Off I really don’t have a point in this article. photo credit: jaeWALK The sky is blue! Blue! For the first time in a week, and you KNOW how Catherine gets without sun. (Another reason why Vegas will rock sideways, to be sure.) I shall make…
Jill Chivers – I’m Listening Now & Shop Your Wardrobe
Hooray! It’s Showcase Sunday, where you can get acquainted with the wonderful people who make this website awesome. What is your name and website? I only have one name but I have two websites.

Time zones are weird. Anyway, here’s Evan! photo credit: Wm Jas For me it is authenticity that makes my life worthwhile. When I have…
Why I swear here (and why you might want to, too)
photo credit: debaird™ I recently gave Naomi Dunford a significant amount of money for her brain. (Not in a jar, or anything. If you want to be all boring I actually bought her insights.) One of the things that we talked about was branding. I’m already pretty good at it – proof: there have been…
The benefits and traps of Good Enough
photo credit: seeveeaar I’m a big fan of Good Enough, especially especially when you’re starting out. Good Enough frees you from the need to make it perfect – a freezing and unachievable goal that will prevent you from sending out your thing into the world. Good Enough encourages you to create more.
