Still Not Sure About Google Plus

September 28, 2011

Google Plus

It’s been a while since receiving my invite to the beta of Google Plus. At first, I jumped right in, updated my profile, created some circles, connected with the people who I knew already on there, good times.

Then the reality hit that there were a ton of people NOT on Google+.

Blogging: Professional vs. Personal Posts

blogging transparency

I recently went through and consolidated 2 different blogs I was unsuccessfully trying to run at the same time into 1 brand new one. On one the hand it was hard to watch all the previous work go away, but on the other it was bliss. The conflict that I wrestled with (which prompted the [...]

The Lazy By-Product

After just participating in the security screening/check-in process at LAX I got to thinking about how less than 10 years ago the procedure to get on board a plane was much easier. Right after 9/11 it was clear that traveling was going to become a rather challenging experience and there was the growing pains we [...]
