Self Expression
Proud To Be A Blogging “Brand” Newbie
I just finished reading a blog post entitled “10 Easy Ways To Make Yourself Look Like A Blogging Newbie”. It is a satirical article poking light-hearted fun at being a blogging newbie while at the same time illuminating us to the amateurish mistakes we make.
The article was posted on May 19th 2007, has 128 comments and still generates comments today.
I’d say this author knew this post would strike a nerve with his audience.
Here is the first sentence.
<sarcasm>I’m sure that you all want everyone to think that you’re a blogging newbie! That’s what I want! Wouldn’t that be an awesome way to develop your brand?
Huh????

Night of the Living In Basket
Emptying the contents of my email client’s In Basket is a daily chore. Make that an hourly chore.
Many a stalk of email wheat gets burned with the chaff depending on my mood.
What’s really funny is how many times I’ve unsubscribed these email trespassers from their paternal auto responding parents.
Oh, I’ve hit the “HELP” key on “Outlook” and created some Jim-Dandy “Rules” to wipe these suckers out.
Still they return.
My In Basket resembles a scene out of “Night of the Living Dead”. Zombie emails returning from the Internet dead zone to suck the life out of my day.
Sometimes it feels like a nightmare with no morning.

Don’t Worry be Crappy

This creative blog headline is courtesy of venture capitalist and former Apple computer evangelist Guy Kawasaki. Don’t worry, be crappy is axiom number 5 out of 11 axioms Guy created to help explain the Art of Innovation. It reads like this;
An innovator doesn’t worry about shipping an innovative product with elements of crappiness if it’s truly innovative. The first permutation of a innovation is seldom perfect–Macintosh, for example, didn’t have software (thanks to me), a hard disk (it wouldn’t matter with no software anyway), slots, and color. If a company waits–for example, the engineers convince management to add more features–until everything is perfect, it will never ship, and the market will pass it by.
