Working in Starbucks

Originally uploaded by CC Chapman.
Isn’t it a sort of right of passage that any new media nomad has to do some time working in a Starbucks?
As I sit here in New York City doing just that for the first time it hit me that these places are an awfully loud place to be productive, but […]

The Rolling Office

Another one of those FULL days where I catch an early morning Acela train into New York City for the day, go to a bunch of meetings and then return home on another Acela. It makes for a long day, but Steve and I always make sure that any day that I come into the […]

Snow and Sonicare

We woke up to a beautiful white New England morning today. Forecast is for a total of 10-15 inches by the time this is all done. Certainly a shift from the green grass we were playing whiffle ball on yesterday afternoon. But, it is winter even though it hasn’t felt like it for the past […]

SMC & Turning Three

Last night I was asked to moderate a panel at the Boston Social Media Club called “Beyond Blogging: PR and Today’s Social Media Revolution”
It was very strange to be presenting at Bentley College in what was known as the Upper Cafe when I was there. Over a 100 people turned out and if you couldn’t […]

Bjork and Coffee Gum Drops

The subject line has nothing to do with reality. In the WAY back early days of my blogging I use to make random titles to see if anyone was paying attention and this is what randomly popped into my mind this morning. No idea where the second part came from but the first came from […]

Since I love politics and was encouraged to bring my camera, how could I say no?
Most of the candidates are running around […]

Making Space in My Brain

Busy morning already, but had to brain slurpee out some quick things or else they will be bouncing in my head all day.

I’m psyched with how Iowa went. It was great to go to bed knowing who came in first and then waking up this morning to see who came in second continued the smiles.
Manging […]

Morning Surf Multitasking

I’ve always had the concept of a Morning Surf in my life. This is when I first turn on the computer and go through the same set of actions. This has evolved over time and now of course includes looking through my RSS feeds, checking e-mail and scanning a handful of sites and social networks. […]

2008 Goals

I’m not a huge fan of resolutions. I prefer to think of them as goals for the year. Some with dates. Clear cut measures of success. But, whatever you call them, I am big on pausing, reflecting and then looking forward with full steam. I especially like to look back at previous years lists to […]
