My Facebook “it’s my content!” legal bull$%&# post is a bit different than the rest…
Oh. I thought it was over. The basics are back to doing that again, huh? The ‘ol “ohmigod Facebook is changing something I don’t understand so let’s copy and paste some legal jargon into a status to fix that!” thing is back again. Oy. We ALL have a Facebook friend gullible enough to fall for that. Or, if you’re like me, not many anymore because you instantly unfriend them after they hit POST on it.

Because that’s what you do, right? [see the amount of relationship changes on Facebook during the month of December] But let’s be honest here. An engagement ring isn’t what she wants. *THIS* is the kind of ring she actually wants! And at $7.39, it can fit into ANY couple’s budget this year! Now available at your local pastry chain restaurant that might be called Panera Bread. [not a paid endorsement, but I wouldn’t mind a free cup of coffee]…
VIDEO: Observations from an Average Travel Day
This week, I made the trek back to New York City after hosting a few events in Cleveland, Ohio. To give you an idea what it’s like to travel with me and, more importantly, the weird stuff I see along the way, I made THIS. 8 hours of travel compacted into three minutes for your viewing pleasure. This video also introduces you to the world’s bravest bug. Poor guy.
An Ode to Starbucks Red Cup Season
