Wow. I’ve been using google analytics for over a year now - at a very high level.  I’ve found it interesting to monitor where my traffic is coming from on this blog, and what keywords are driving people here from the search engines.

Lately, I’ve taken the time to dig deeper […]

My employer has started an official external blog, and it’s off to a really great start.  Check out what Frank has to say about how communications is changing before our eyes.  This post is all about speed.

I was just thinking this week - I don’t even like the NBA, I don’t like the way the game is played, I don’t have a team (other than the default hometown Sonics and my childhood team Boston Celtics who haven’t been worth watching for 15 years).  Do I really care if the Sonics previous […]

My current porfession falls within another quadrant of the marketing umbrella, but so far I am really enjoying this new site - Advertising Critic.  Created by a fellow Zag, Aaron Sanchez, this site has an interesting place in the year of YouTube and the age of over consumption by consumers.  I look forward to keeping […]

Mark Cuban is one of the people in the business world that I would most like to meet. You can say what you want about his show “The Benefactor” being a flop (and it was), or him making it big just because of the Broadcast.com IPO, but ultimatately Cuban is opinionated, passionate, and interesting. I’ve enjoyed […]

After a tip from Sam Howard, I learned that Malcolm Gladwell had recently started a blog - http://gladwell.typepad.com/
His most recent post links to an email discussion he had with ESPN.com’s Bill Simmons which has been posted on ESPN.com. Check it out - Curious Guy Mailbag - Malcolm Gladwell.
Gladwell and Simmons are two of my […]

I am envious of people who own their own businesses and take the initiative to become the man.
This week, my good friend Tall Tom Hergert is taking a big step forward in his career, and becoming the first full-time employee at Tallzag Auctions.
He posted the news to his blog a couple of weeks […]

I don’t blog very much about work, because I feel like keeping work and the blog separate might be a good idea… kind of like the separation of church and state. The two might play nice with each other, but then again… you might be playing with fire.
At any rate, today was an interesting […]

I read this recently over at McGee’s Musings , which is a great blog to add to your list by the way: “The change you’ve lived through in the last 10 years is a predictor of what you are likely to experience in the next 5.”
It turns out this comes via Douglas Adams commentary on […]

Happy New Years everybody! Thanks for a great 2005 and cheers to a happy, healthy, and rewarding 2006!
I put together a best of 2005 list last week on the flight back from San Diego. What were your “best of’s” and what did I miss?
Best Restaurant Experience - Il Latini in Firenze
Best Camping Trip […]

I just finished reading Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and would recommend it to anyone interested in slicing it thin (moments that is, not proscuitto or salame). For Gladwell, it all comes down to what he calls thin slicing, or making sense of the amazing amount of data processed by our brains in the blink of […]
