Just me... thinking out loud.
I got a piece of mail yesterday from Plain Green saying I was already approved for up to $1000 for a short-term loan. I knew it was probably going to be a crazy agreement, but I was curious about the offer so I opened it up and read a little further. The letter was also [...]
If you know me, you’re probably aware I’m not a big fan of Apple. That’s not exactly a true statement. I actually like Apple. I think they’re a good company, I just think there are far too many people caught up in the idea of Apple and the image surrounding Apple than they are the [...]
I confess. It’s me! To all of you online retailers out there, specifically Amazon.com, I’m thinking perhaps I should apologize for messing up all your stats on “cart abandonment” for online shopping. But that’s just how I shop online. Especially with Amazon. I’ll put stuff in my cart and I’ll forget about it. Sometimes intentionally, [...]
I’m digging into Google Analytics pretty frequently. Getting to the point where it’s multiple times per day across numerous accounts and websites. One of the things I’ve been wishing and waiting on for quite some time is some kind of overview display across a list of accounts. The data points I’m looking for could go [...]
One of the things I really enjoy doing but don’t do nearly enough is cycling. While I was in college I participated in a bike trip down the coast of California one January.

One of the most rewarding professional experiences of my life was the time that I spent as a professional blogger with the b5media network. From my first days on the network I was immediately pulled into be a part of the b5 family and it really was a family. So much encouragement, support and challenge [...]
My friends Pete and Chris were talking about this website and video on Twitter this morning so I went and checked it out. I’m not interested in Dollar Shave Club because I’m a hairy beast. Shoot! I couldn’t grow a beard if I used Miracle-Gro after-shave. I’m a shaving cheapskate; one because it takes me about [...]
If you’re active on Twitter and in the Indianapolis area, then you’re probably familiar with the name Tod Esquivel. If you’re not familiar with him, you’ve probably been followed by one of his personas instead. Perhaps you’ve seen one of his Twitter account avatars shown below. Every time I get a new notification that I’m [...]
It was 2191 days ago today that things continued to develop along a course that would change my career. Originally they didn’t impact too much of my “full-time” gig, but the desires and hopes for what I started all those years ago has definitely impacted where I’m at today and what I’m doing with my [...]
