The Warm, Sunny Afterglow of REBarCamp Phoenix

Last week, I had the distinct pleasure of participating at REBarCamp Phoenix. There was more warmth and sunshine around me than I would have ever believed, and that was just from the people in attendance!

What Makes Us Human?

Ah, yes. Be human. I hear people saying that an awful lot. Be transparent. Be genuine. Be real. Be human. What does that mean, exactly? I’ve had occasion to think about that a great deal of late. So what does it mean?   Is it acting irrationally when your heart aches? Is it feeling remorseful [...]

NBC Washington, You Should Be Ashamed of Yourselves

Anger. Fury. Outrage. These are just a few words that describe my feelings at this moment. Typically, when I am feeling intense emotion about a particular subject, I find it best to back away from my computer.

You’ve Been Called For Traveling!

Honestly. The things with which people take issue. A few days ago, after a return from business travel (actually, the end of a seemingly endless series of business trips), I was approached by someone whom I know, albeit casually. “Wow!

Have you ever heard the expression, “Open mouth, insert foot”? Do you know what it means? Well, if someone’s saying it to you, you’ve probably said something you shouldn’t have.

The Wisdom of The Crowd

This isn’t the post that I intended to write today. Sure, I’ll probably clickety-clack that one out, as well, but I’ve got some other things that are weighing heavily on my mind. Why are we so keen to follow the crowd? Why do we have such a strong need to do what everyone else does [...]

You’re Doing It Wrong! Wrong, I Tell You! WRONG!

I am often struck, in the online space, by how quick people are to judge others. By how people rush to point out how someone else is doing it wrong. Oh, yes. Taking cheap shots, ridiculing others, or otherwise belittling people seems to be a favorite pastime ’round The Interwebs. “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!” While [...]

Can’t We All Just Get Along?

I don’t understand all of this … sniping. When it comes to Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed … whatever … each of us has a favorite. But what’s with all of the vitriol? Grown people, professional people are practically foaming at the mouth over things as small as Facebook adding @ tagging as a feature. It’s the [...]
