I’m the Martha Stewart Doer of the Week!

This week I had the honor of being selected the Doer of the Week at Martha Stewart’s “Dreamers into Doers” website.  I talked about how and where I work, and how I got here, and what inspires my design approach. Above is only a snippet — but you can read the whole thing here.

Small Business Saturday 11/27 – Supporting Entreprenuers When Holiday Shopping

This interview of me, in recognition of Small Business Saturday, and to illustrate one person behind a small business, is gratefully reprinted from MommyBlogExpert:

Thanks to American Express for sponsoring my writing today about small businesses.  American Express is presenting Small Business Saturday, a way to honor the local merchants who are the backbone [...]

Our Twitter Stream for Dummies

I’m excited to share that I am featured as a model Twitterer in the newly published book, Media Marketing All-in-1 for Dummies. (Or maybe as a model dummy?)

Anyway, here is the screenshot from Amazon’s “search inside” feature, since I don’t have a hard copy of the book yet. It shows how I use [...]

Survival of the Twittest

So they say Twitter can lead to business.  Anyone who leaps into Twitter hoping to market by blasting folks with the awesomeness of their junk is in for a surprise — whatever those smarmy marketing articles told you, it’s not true.

What Twitter is about building relationships. It’s like being [...]

Feel the Teal: Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that today is Feel Teal Friday and that President Obama declared September Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month?

I bet you didn’t, and to be honest, until yesterday, I didn’t either. Ovarian cancer, unlike its pink cousin, breast cancer, is way down on most of our radars as familiar diseases to look out [...]

I Learned a New Word for Freedom

From Wikipedia:

Azadi (Persian: ) means “freedom, liberty” in Persian, the official and national language of Iran. This Persian word is also borrowed by Kurdish, Urdu, Pashto and Hindi languages.

The past few weeks  I have, like everyone else, been riveted by the news from Iran, at least until Michael Jackson’s demise took precedence [...]

Submit Your Three Wolf Moon Haiku

I am just as enamored as everyone else over the internet t-shirt sensation known as Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt.  The effect this t-shirt is having on people around the world is truly inspiring. (You can buy it here.)

In that spirit, I want to invite  you to a share *your* own three-wolf-moon inspiration, [...]

A New Year – Herd Around Here

Playing a bit of catch-up here, I had all the best intentions of starting the New Year off with a boom-bang post about resolutions and how they, well, suck. And why. And insights and stuff.

First, though, I should say that up till now we’ve always blogged here as a company, but this year [...]

Obama – Not Just a City in Japan

Ok, geography buffs, what city in Japan shares a name with a US presidential candidate? If you said Ronpouru (Ron Paul) you’d be wrong.

But the city of Obama in Fukui Prefecture has been following the race closely and rooting for Barack Obama and the notoriety that would come to the city, should [...]

Earth Hour Demonstrates Effectiveness in Tel-Aviv

Last week’s Earth Hour, when we were asked to turn off lights for a full hour, didn’t look like much where we were in L.A., but the effect in Tel-Aviv was noticeable:

Not only that, but according to Haaretz:

Vats of oil used to fry Tel Avivians’ lunchtime falafels and chips were brought [...]
