Something Phenomenal Happened
If there were any doubts about the power of social media to turn an industry upside down, look at the recording industry. The story of the band Cults at the Austin City Limits Festival is included below. ACL is a powerful venue. Has been for years. I remember watching ACL on PBS back in the 70s and 80s, even today when I can catch it, and seeing great bands, singers and songwriters. ...

Guessing or reality? Time For Apple To Kill The...
According to several leaked parts and info coming from Apple’s Eastern supply chain, the company is not refreshing the iPod Touch much on Oct. 4, if at all. Apart from perhaps an uprated A5 CPU, grabbed from the updated iPhone, and apart from a lick of white paint, the flagship of the iPod lineup is not even being redesigned. It’s a minimal-effort update, because Apple’s...

Years ago, my boss suddenly resigned. I was pretty sure his boss would offer me his job, but it didn’t happen immediately. He told me he wanted to think it over and consider his options. Photo courtesy of ©iStockphoto.com/peepo Frankly, I was disappointed. From my perspective, it was a no-brainer. I was the logical choice! I could have reacted in several ways: I could have pouted.

Good potted plant redo: How to Fluff Your...
We really like succulents in pots. This is a very popular style out in SoCal, and we brought as many succulents as we could with us when we moved back east. Unfortunately, without the more direct and constant sun of the west coast, our succulents have become leggy and a bit unkempt. So, I do like this article from gardeninggonewild.com. Very easy with instant changes. Enjoy! ...

Photographs That Inspire: No. 1
I love this photo by Daniel Egner, published on the Ronnie Bruce website. via ronniebruce.tumblr.com It’s amazing to me how one photograph can provide so much emotional energy. The desaturated colors, the linear phone lines, the lone tree and the seemingly endless horizon all imply the long journey we all are on, searching the vastness of our lives for something more, something...

Art is what we call...
From the blog of Seth Godin: Art is what we call the thing an artist does. It’s not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human. Art is not in the eye of the...

Introverted employees make the best leaders.
By Toni Bowers March 8, 2011, 4:47 AM PST Takeaway: It is a misconception that all introverts are shy. The two are different — an important distinction to understand when you’re considering a leadership position. The term “introverted” is often used interchangeably with “shy.” This is misleading. Introversion itself is not shyness. Shyness...
