Everyone has the right to be famous – not certain if it should be this easy!

A drive down Ventura Blvd, a store sign, happy memories, beautiful people and a blog post is born!! My thoughts on Andy Warhol’s “5 mins of Fame” pontification, and what it means in this connected-via-the-Internet / SEO kind of world.

Under the influence – my take on influencers @ The Search Agents blog

There was a movement in the Force when Matt Cutts, SEO influencer and Googler said something perhaps he shouldn’t have. My take on what that means to us average Joes – over at The Search Agents blog

When pigs fly. How social web spreads swine flu faster than a plane from Mexico

Panic ensues. Whereas before I could pick my handful of newspapers, blogs or news sites to get the reporting I appreciate, now I need to filter reams of social opinion to garner a modicum of truth (amongst the panic).

What happened to courtesy from California drivers? Politeness takes a holiday on the 405.

Today the dark side of human nature reared it’s head and gave me the virtual finger three times. Driving on the 405 freeway this morning in unusually dense traffic for 6.50am, three drivers chose to demonstrate ‘driver entitlement’.

Thoughts on Microsoft’s “I’m a PC ads” using cute kids doing what some adults may consider as ‘tough tasks’

Quickie Tip #12 – Knowledge finds you if you’re looking

I subscribe to a number of blog RSS feeds and force myself to at least glance at them before they’re more than 24 hrs old. Having a commitment to review the ‘latest’ from a variety of sites is equivalent to reading a newspaper cover to cover in the ‘old’ days. This used to be a […]

Google is human after all (that’s not always a good thing)

Gmail was down this morning, and the end of world is obviously near. It’s good to finally have the “Gmasses” realize that Google is like any other company, prone to outages, failures as well as amazing success. Interesting note on human nature.
