A master of the interview & a very good man. The perfect Sunday morning post! http://tl.gd/8g3dg0

Watched RED last night. A "buddy" picture, of sorts, with a star-studded cast. Some portions were a bit lame but I also laughed, a lot! 7.5!

Added another new client tonight. I get to help a young man achieve 1 of his life goals, pass the exam necessary to become a teacher! Cool!!

Did some pleasure shopping. For an entrepreneur with several home businesses, Staples is a pleasure trip! It's like a big kid's toy store!

BTW, The Reagle Beagle is an all-male salon. Sorry ladies! Guys, it is worth it & it is extremely reasonable. See Anita Wed-Sat...excellent!

Going to The Reagle Beagle for a hair cut. I passed on the facial, opting instead for a "wet cut!" Sounds interesting?! More to follow! Ha!

Last night I had the honor of meeting parents who've given so much in order to provide a wonderful life for very special son! I was humbled!

OK! The marriage is over! I'm dumping Flip MinoHD in favor of something else...anything else! Their support is #$%^&*$#!! It's Flip code!

Connie's already sleeping. TuffGuy's snoring will wake the dead! Bart's out cold. AWESOME new student! Now time for "Red" with Bruce Willis!

I added a new student tonight. Wonderful family! It's a joy to meet parents so committed to their child! And an awesome responsibility! Nice

Links are crucial! I've built links for clients & myself. This inexpensive tool works! NOT an affiliate, it just works! http://bit.ly/ebuevT

I have really enjoyed my Flip MinoHD but their upgrades are a nightmare! I'm seriously considering something else. Support is horrible!

OK! Procrastinated enough. Gotta at least try to deal with the snow & the driveway from h*ll! Send cards & letters! Argh!

Love music! All kinds & tech-related equip too! Mozart to Metallica to John Phillips Sousa to LnPark. BUT iTunes, Nano & iPad drive me NUTZ!

Business social media, Plaxo is coming on fast as far as overall usefulness. Ecademy is awesome for responsive connections! LinkedIn is OK!

This is in beta but it might be useful for mobile social media users as the mobile segment grows rapidly! GroupMe http://bit.ly/ifNpkH

Listening to 30 Seconds to Mars, "The Kill" So great for a Friday with social media friends! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I agreed to help a student who needs to pass a certification exam & is beside himself. So nice to help someone trying to better himself!

The Blind Side~SJ stole the show! The story tore me up, big time! Had a student watch it last night! He better not call me Miss Sue! ;-)~

8 appts in-house through Saturday! I'm not sure about Sunday but next week is nuts! Economy? Chapter 11 for several B2B media companies~Hmm!

Watched the State of the Union on YouTube today so I could help a student with a paper if he needed me. Partisan cheerleading JUST IRKS ME!

Awesome day! A new semester & the phone hasn't stopped ringing! I also get to start meeting with marketing clients next week! LOVE MY LIFE!

Linkedin: "Wow! That's 1 large network....Good news: you've got an impressively lg network. Bad news: we can't...create a map for it!" Ugh!

New student started yesterday. Dad sat in for last few mins & was smiling ear-to-ear when he left! Great sign! Super Dad! Nice young lady!

I get a Twitter @mention or a FB message or wall post & the 1st thing I do is check to see if they follow me & reciprocate! If not? Blocked!

A super comment got me going on this again! http://ultimateinternetimage.com/excerpts-from-social-media-the-perils-of-group-online-buying/

The Perils of Group Online Buying http://bit.ly/ih0aQu Good for bargain hunters & Groupon! Longterm? Disaster for local business!

I can remember in the early '60s watching Jack LaLanne, being so impressed. Incredible man! The man left a legacy! http://bit.ly/huVWP8

Several Cleveland area marketers from novice to expert responded! Forming a mastermind focused on creating real opportunities! 2-3 more?!

Excerpts from Social Media: The Perils of Group Online Buying http://ultimateinternetimage.com/excerpts-from-social-media-the-perils-of-group-online-buying/

Why would local businesses fuel a platform leading to significantly lower profits while feeding a behemoth seeking only to fuel its growth?!

Why would local businesses give away products & services for 1/2 the retail price? What kind of buyers are drawn to those incentives?

The Big Box & WalMart to unending incentive-based auto sales destroying everything from small town business to GM! Now? Group online sales?!

Prediction: Google is now climbing on board, promoting online group buying, set to duke it out with Groupon & local business will LOSE big!

"It's never too late to be who you might have been." George Eliot (1819 - 1880)

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff? Dave Dee was On the Right Track: But not about the BIG STUFF! http://bit.ly/epMKgq I love my life!

Had a super session with a new student tonight! Her Dad came in for the last few minutes. Her parents are so nice! I LOVE working with kids!

Anyone else have issues with Skype support? True, it's not as bad as trying to reach Facebook or Google...but effective help is a challenge!

@MrHolise Yes! Appeasing those committing atrocities has never worked, it's advocated by the weak! The dolphins of Taiji, Japan? Shameful!

Insomnia can be a blessing! I finally watched "The Cove!" 2 things are clear: Ric O'Barry is a HERO & we need to stop the cruelty...NOW!

Time for bed! Vampire Weekend is just too weird! & the drummer? Well, he's wearing a Pitts Pirates t-shirt! It doesn't get any scarier!

Well, it's been an super day! Finishing up with The Killers at Royal Albert Hall. Great show. Thankful for headphones or I'd wake the dead!

Well, back to writing Part II of my article on the greatest marketing bungle of all time...is it rearing its ugly head again?!

Great Hubspot article! I get content ripped off all the time. I work for hours on it! http://bit.ly/fBbcve Some are out & out thieves!

OK done! Pt I of an article that asks: What strategy are we attempting to introduce online that changed an industry, & NOT for the good? Hm?

Since yesterday's invitation, Ohio entrepreneurs have contacted me via LinkedIn, Facebook & Twitter! Make 2011 amazing. Meet me next week!

I was on a tear this a.m. about group online buying. It ISN'T a good thing for local business! I'll post on 1 of my blogs later today!

Think twice! Begin group discounting & you'll never be able to go back. Ask an GM auto exec if they wouldn't go back to pre-incentive days!

Think online group buying is a good thing? Ask a car dealer if they sold many vehicles w/o incentives once they were introduced! Now think!

I watched Frank Kern's video today & I'm still laughing. Did you know The 80/20 Rule is "Oxham's Razor"? A definite Norm Crosby moment! ;-)~

Well, Connie's with the grandkids & TuffGuy snores. So, unless I want to shovel snow...I think I'll hit the recliner & watch Highlander!

Group buying certainty: What works for Gap & Amazon may backfire for local Mom & Pop, Inc! Bargain hunters may not be prime local customers!

EConsultancy raises real issues! The online group buying craze (Groupon, LivingSocial) http://bit.ly/fW2AxT Past parallels = real problems!

Tired of the BS about the economy? Yes, it's tough...so's life! Want to make real money in 2011? Live in or around Cleveland? Contact me!

I had to listen to it again. I had to make sure my notes were right. Frank Kern: The 80/20 Rule is called Oxhams Razor. Thanks Frank. Phew!

Frank Kern's definition for the 80/20 Rule gets a new twist...it's not called Frank's (Occam's) Razor! The simplest definition Frank?

Amen Frank! Enough with the weekly product launches. All seemingly outdoors. At least they got away from the "I'm driving a car" videos! Ugh

Frank Kern's State of the Internet was amusing! Frank can play an audience better than anyone in Hollywood. And he has a bigger audience!

The story of Gabrielle Giffords is inspiring & unsettling. Her ordeal after her healthcare vote? Wow! Some people can be incredibly cruel!

I had the pleasure of tutoring a young man with Asperger's syndrome this fall. What an amazing young man! The student taught the teacher!

Listening to Peter Gabriel "Washing of the Water," "So!" Saw Peter Gabriel '73 with Genesis & '93 solo. Both times in Cleveland & amazing!

Bravo to GEICO! The woodchucks commercial? An 11! Talk about creative genius! I still laugh at that every time I see it just for props!

I know negative advertising has it's place but I wouldn't buy a Progressive policy to save my life! Annoying!?! Madge? Wow!

Cancer Treatment Centers of America. What's the domain advertised on TV? cancercenter.com Online marketing? Set your ego aside! Very smart!

The holiday season was awesome! My time wasn't my own. It was spent on my clients' behalf. Well spent! Glad to be back in the saddle again!
