This post is directed mainly at those social media evangelists, gurus and consultants that I’ve been fortunate to meet and talk to because of what I currently do, but I think all of you may like it anyway. Here’s the crux of it: I’m going to ask you to consider submitting a proposal to present [...]

Sometimes you have to slow it down…

I’m sitting here through yet another day of not really wanting to run the air conditioner during “business hours” in an effort to save money. I figured since I wasn’t going to be able to get through to the Firefox site to download the newest version of the software I’d wander around the blogosphere and [...]

Dre — Sat, 24 May 2008 17:08:48 +0000

acnatta/Flickr Welcome back to Neon in Birmingham… Magic City Motor Scooters opened its doors earlier this year in the city’s Entrepreneurial District. Gas in the Magic City continues to inch closer to $4/gallon for regular, causing some folks to rethink their options for transportation, including the scooters available for purchase here.

Web 2.0 makes it easier to reach out

Dre — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:47:23 +0000

I consider Alice one of my best friends. I first met her in Savannah nearly 16 years ago when both of us were students in SCAD’s Rising Star program. Both of us started at college there and both of us ended up taking slightly different paths. When we first met, we kept in touch that [...]
