Bum Rush the Charts

This is going to be cool – on one day everybody we can round up in social media will buy one specific track on a day in March in iTunes. The affiliate money made will go to a college scholarship, all from the brain of Christopher Penn (the idea that is, not the scholarship). Get the full story here.

Happiness

I’m still jetlagged and glad the weekend is here. For the weekend contemplate the Dalai Lama – pleasure and happiness are not the same thing.

All about The M Show

I’m finally home and gearing up for work tomorrow, and I finally got this week’s M Show out the door.

Listen for all the latest on me getting robbed, going to California and last week’s insanity hanging out with Jose and Pink, John Furrier, and Rob from Podcast 411.

As always you can check out the photos here.

Time to get back to some Marketing…

I’m Back!

Hello folks, sorry to be MIA but I was north of Napa and had no internet connection. I didn’t think that was still possible…

I’m digging out now and will have plenty of stuff this week. Tons of cool stuff from sessions last week and photos, etc. from travelling.

I’m on Vacation

I’m getting to hang out with Winston, so nothing mind bending today. But it has been a crazy week between the MIT event and hanging out with a bunch of New Media folks. More on that later.

Invest in Thought Leadership, Not Marketing

I’m listening to Jeremy Allaire from Brightcove present at the MIT Enterprise Forum – Brave New Web and the title of this post is a quote direct from his presentation. I’ve run into this meme a number of times in the past couple of months. David Scott has written much on being a thought leader, it seems like new ventures are taking this to the extreme.

For irrelevant marketing and messages, the oxygen is gone.

Robbed!

I had hopes of doing a regular post tonight after grabbing dinner with Jose… No chance of that.

I came out of work to find my passenger door window smashed and my GPS stolen out of the glove compartment. Just another headache. At least they didn’t take may Maui Jim sunglasses.

Here’s to tomorrow being a better day.

I spent most of today sleeping and part of the day getting my Dad set up with his new Mac. I did have the itch to take some pictures and you can check them out here on Flickr.

I hab a code

is what it sounds like. I have a cold, is what I mean. I’ve got three posts that are 75% done but my head is killing me and I have to go to bed. The good news is that we have 4 new AccuRev videos in the can, and on Wednesday I’m off to an MIT forum – Brave New Web. With all the VIPs in town I’m going to get to catch up with Jose and Rob. It’s time for fine dining in Boston.

I’m going to hammer a shot of the red nyquil and hope I can make it to the bed before I fall asleep. Wish me luck.
