Nothing like the end of a quarter to consume every minute in sight. I’ve also had the nagging cough that seems to be sticking around, I’m not sure if it’s a cold or the beginning of allergy season as the ground is softening up here. The good news is that I have another project in the works with Joe from SalesRoundup, we’re going to be talking about the intersection of...

I’ve had to fill out a bunch of forms recently for a number of different events. New events can be very exciting, covering hot topics and having no established old guard to leave the FNG’s feeling left out. On the other hand, with things being done for the first time, often on the fly, things can slip through the cracks. Any time you request copy from someone be sure to give them...

I’m off to an event called Blogger Social the first weekend in April down in New York City. It’s a bunch of Marketing Bloggers getting together just to talk and have some fun. One thing that has made this event special even prior to kickoff is that Steve Woodruff has been assembling profiles of the attendees so everyone has been able to learn about who’s going to be...

If you have already set up your picks for the NCAA Tournament please consider entering the charity tournament I’m playing in. The entry fee is $25 and the winner gets to select the charity that will receive the pot. You can enter here, and it’s pretty low key so you can probably still enter after the first round. College hoops is my favorite spectator sport. Every player knows...

I’m just too tired to write anything today, the 5:30 am recording sessions will do that, but if you are a stats junkie, along with the latest show we’ve published the numbers for Marketing Over Coffee for you to check out. Lots of emailing this week. Interesting stats but nothing exciting to write about… Popularity: 1% [?]

Johnny T. (who, by the way, works for a company that produces some great events (even if some of his customers are trying to kill me, but that’s a story for another day)) had written in about trade shows last week and I wanted to get to the second part of his question: Are the Company goals the same as my goals? Ahh, the glory of blogs. Would any editor let that last sentence stand? I...

Thanks to the hard work of Scott Monty of Crayon working with ooVoo, I was part of my ooVoo day, which makes me a “prominent blogger” according to the Wall Street Journal. Now all I need is a link… You can also check out the St. Patrick’s Day edition of The M Show for some easy listening fun. Popularity: 1%...

A couple of days ago I noticed a twitter post from Forrester Analyst Jeremiah Owyang that made it sound like he is considering switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout. I felt I was in a unique position to respond after having switched to Dvorak about 5 years ago. As usual, Wikipedia has a fine overview here if you are unfamiliar with Dvorak, but here’s the short version: back before...
