One of the many reasons I hate the holidays is that invariably I’ll be sitting around doing nothing, except for maybe my conscience asking me “Why the hell aren’t you writing now?”, and probably end up eating. As I look forward to this inevitable event that made me think of some of the things that I have found over the years that I thought are worth...

If you haven’t noticed from previous posts, I have been a guest on The Beancast a number of times. If you are into podcasting it’s kind of like TwiT for marketing people. If you’re not into podcasting it’s like the morning zoo with marketing and advertising people. If you still don’t get it it’s like me and the host Bob along with people like Steve Hall...

When I first started this blog it was an experiment. Much like The M Show, I had no idea where it would go or if I would have more than a few weeks of things to write about. Fast forward a few years, and yes, I guess I do have some content. Thanks to this lack of initial commitment I cut some corners. Rather than pay for two hosting accounts I decided to point RoninMarketeer.com to the same...

This week I have become hooked on Mahalo Answers. It’s the crack of websites… The business week is over, and snow is coming down fast and furious here. Speaking of other addictions – my 64GB SSD arrived today. I’m making an image of my old school hard drive right now and on Monday the brain transplant for the fastest Laptop in the fleet will begin. Geeks...

You are now looking at a 2.7 WordPress blog (codename Coltrane). With this forced update it appears that I have vanquished the spammers that had taken up residence down in my footer, sending my Google juice to hell. Why didn’t I upgrade before switching domains you ask? Only so many hours in a day unfortunately. Last week was WebInno 20, the new tech showcase that is a great way to...

I’m going to 2.7 to fix some spam problems, who knows what I’ll break. The best part is one Doug Haslam has pointed out before – if I really break things, you won’t even see this! UPDATE: Things are moving nicely, Technorati is giving me a shot at probation! Technorati Profile Popularity: 1% [?]

I had a Google alert trip this morning, Neville Hobson interviewed Scott Monty and Scott’s bio mentioned that he has been a co-host on Marketing Over Coffee (although I thought it went great, Chris Brogan referred to that episode as adding not only a 5th Beatle, but one with a Tuba). Regardless of your opinion on past content, the reason I’m posting is that Neville has...

Mike tagged me on the 6th Photo Meme – the idea is that you go to your Flickr account and grab the 6th photo on your 6th page. It’s a great reason to talk about photos (and probably something out of the mind of the Marketing department at Flickr). If you are a flickr fan at all, please click through and friend me up. This photo is from my cousin’s wedding this summer, these...
