I Will Never, Ever Buy Another GM Vehicle…

18 February 2012

0 Comments

Those were the words I told Desiree in GM’s Legal Department Thursday. And I mean it, with a vengeance. You see, GM is reporting record profits, yet is still relying on legal maneuvering to continue not to honor the class action lawsuit by approximately 150,000 Saturn Vue and Ion owners (2003-2005) whose vehicles had or [...]

The Epic Project…

One of the greatest benefits of homeschooling is the ability to tailor learning to the individual student and his/her learning style, as well as incorporate many different areas of learning rather than a single subject (like grammar). Sammy and I have been talking about and planning an epic project to begin in January. It’ll initially [...]

A Social Media Milestone…

4 December 2011

This weekend marked a social media milestone for me: impersonation. Granted, they weren’t very good, nor malicious, but it was impersonation nonetheless. And replied to a twitter follower of mine, who alerted me. Here’s the first, which has already been suspended.   And here’s the second. Fully copied not only pic, but my profile as well. [...]

Parenting Made Easy…

Social media is funny sometimes. Not funny ha-ha so much, but funny weird, as Joshie would say (he stole that bit from Backyardigans). Anyway…on Empire Avenue, in my index (I’m currently President of the “Family and Children” index) mentioned a webinar of some sort that he was doing by the title of Parenting Made Easy. [...]

For years, even before starting my own business, I’d been invited to and even visited different business networking groups. And as a disclaimer, I will readily admit that I have not been to all types, and that some groups [...]

Tacoma Folks, Pay Attention!

Yes, that’s my 30-second Venn diagram representing three things I like.  Which, for the bottom right circle, is kinda redundant. Get over it. But what does it represent, in this case? Someone I “met” via twitter and wanted to give a shout-out to, because, as the Impressive Venn Diagram™ shows quite clearly, I like local [...]

My Social Media Strategy to Conquer the World

27 January 2011

2 Comments

I love social media. I really do. What I don’t like and get plenty of laughs about are the sheer number of consultants and companies that claim to be able to chart your course through social media so that you/your brand/your company can conquer the world.  And charge you plenty for it. Now I don’t mean to [...]
