The Public Thinks This Is My Best Stuff

Site search

Hello everyone, my name is John Wall and this is where I write about Marketing and whatever else I find interesting (your mileage may vary). You can also listen to Marketing Over Coffee, a podcast I do with Christopher Penn. I was also involved in the late, great M Show. BTW, I don't look this good, I have a great photographer. I can be reached at: john at themshow dot com

Check LinkedIn for my professional background.

Help Veterans with Combat Stress Disorders and/or Traumatic Brain Injuries

On May 23rd at 8am I will be running a 9k road race. The last big race I ran was Falmouth back in the summer, and I was looking for an event to begin this year’s warm weather with. My co-worker Adam mentioned that he was in for the Run To Home Base, a race [...]

Why Chili is So Important

I was a bit surprised to realize that in the 3 years I have been writing here, I have never written about Chili. Then I thought “Well, that’s not a huge surprise, considering that Chili has absolutely nothing to do with Marketing”. If you are not into cooking or chili, this would be a good [...]

Finally

Things have been a bit slow here at the blog, that’s because all the work lately has been behind the scenes. Finally the time has come, a lot of stuff is shipping this week. In fact all 3 of the major projects from the past 3 months have all come down to Tuesday.
At work we [...]

Bug Fix – Do You Hate Partial Feeds?

I hate partial feeds – blogs that only show the first paragraph of the post, forcing you to click through for a page view. When I started this blog I inadvertently left partial feeds enabled, and then removed all the links. If you are still seeing a partial feed, please delete the old subscription and [...]

Important Stuff – sort of

This is kind of a spring cleaning post – stuff that I have on my list to write about (which forces me to think about), but after review is cool but for whatever reason there’s not much to say beyond “check this out”.
Chrome OS – Google’s OS, the fact that you would log into any [...]

2009 Year in Review

Another year has passed and here’s my scorecard:

Overall a pretty good year, 80% of goal in raw numbers, although they aren’t really relevant here. I don’t show all the details to maintain my own privacy, but here’s a deeper look:
Family: Our family has grown by one and I did get to spend time with my [...]

What I Did on My Winter Vacation

With some time to read I dug into a few things over the holidays:
Thinking with Type: An interesting book about design and fonts. I picked up a lot of interesting little things (such as the fact that the upper case letters were stored in the top case near the printing press, the “smaller” letters in [...]

Quarterly Review

Although I called Reverse NaBloPoMo, my Q3 review is actually left over from October… So here we go:
Results so far for 2009 Goals:
Family keeps me grounded and so it rates first. It’s been a good year, the only problem is not being able to get out to California to see my nephew. Unfortunately there’s not [...]

Reverse NaBloPoMo

This is National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). The idea is that you do a post a day for the month. It’s an extension of a similar thing where you write a whole book in one month. I’m to tired to google that right now.
I’m going to do Reverse NaBloPoMo and take the rest of the [...]

Project List

While the blog languishes to good news is that all projects are moving along nicely.
The most important news is that the day job has been on fire, bonus with a baby coming is a wonderful thing.
I got down to the Inbound Marketing Summit for part of a day, and 2 nights. I pulled a Forrest [...]
