Separating Business and Personal lives…online

Everything I’m telling you in this blog, I know from experience. At an old job, one of my tasks was to locate people online. Here’s what to do, to assure things are kept separate in life and business. Screen names: Twitter, Flickr, Myspace, Pownce, whatever…keep your screen names different than that of your business name [...]

Sometimes good mornings

I really hate the unpredictability of mornings, despite the fact that I do consider myself a morning person. Some mornings I’m good, ready for work in all of its joy. Other days, I’m resembling a sloth, likely falling into my couch on the way to the coffee machine. If I manage to get up from [...]

So I have a visitor…for awhile

I have a visitor for the next few months staying with me Monday-Thursday night, an all too familiar figure in my life…my dad. He’s been unsuccessful in the employment area for the past year plus since his company folded and so he took a flier on a job in Jersey, just over an hour from [...]

life or something like it

dewey, in all of its glory…

I’ve spent two weekends in the lovely town of Dewey Beach, Delaware. These are the lessons learned at Dewey: everyone knows everyone, and if you don’t when you get there, you will when you leave calling someone “buddy” at Dewey makes them think they’ve met you before, and pissed off because they can’t remember..all while [...]

Why work for free? Because its WORK

The definition of work, in a word cloud Why work for free? Why spend your time doing projects, tasks, creating logos, graphics, web pages for free? Because its WORK.  It is proven results of your ABILITY, SKILLS, and PROFICIENCY as the professional you are. When I started ContributeDesign people asked why. Why spend time on [...]

leaving behind an impression

(The following was written Friday, June 27, 2008. I was incredibly sick battling a virus that had given me a hodgepodge mix of sickness…these are my thoughts stemming from the whole ordeal) so, i’m feeling deathly sick lately. i’ve gone through this puzzling string of nonsense from runny nose, then unimaginable fatigue, to sore throat, [...]

the hookup culture

There’s a prevailing “Hookup Culture” in today’s society..and honestly…I’m not into it. It’s just not my thing. I spent the weekend in Dewey Beach and unlike some of my friends…I really wasn’t there to “tap that”. I didn’t want to hookup with anyone, honestly no desire. If I met someone really cool, it was great…we’d talk for [...]

My God I Draw Near…

“Death whispers words of defeat in my head, My God I draw near, My God I draw near.” Do you ever find it funny that, the only time we ever seem to be “getting close” to God is when death whispers words of defeat, failure, loneliness and abandonment? Do you ever find it funny that [...]
