I <3 Paul Arden
Paul Isakson passed a great book my way recently – “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be” by creative genius Paul Arden. I think it’s important to be reminded about what success means, what failure means, and what advertising and marketing mean in the greater scope of the world [...]

An Exercise in Perserverance
Writing consistently in an online space is hard for me. I lose steam, get interested in other things, don’t feel particularly creative/inspired, and want to stop. I think that undirected writing where I can talk about whatever I want is tough – I’m a lover of structure, so having open sky is a challenge for [...]

Marta Kagan’s presentation, “What The F**k Is Social Media?”, made its second pass through our inboxes last week. We had some internal dialog about it the first time, but this time we thought we’d share some of those thoughts here.
It’s true that a lot of people are online and reading / writing blogs, etc. But how many of them [...]

It’s been a bummer of a week.
Last Sunday my step grandmother Eileen passed away. She was an amazing woman who, in her late 80’s, was full of life and pizazz (seems like a word 80 year olds would use). She was diagnosed with massive, late stage lung cancer about two months ago and had been in hospice care since. Last week [...]

4Real on the CW
Since I was 14 or so I’ve been really into Hip Hop and learning about how Hip Hop can positively influence communities / people / etc. This was in a large part thanks to Billy ‘Upski’ Wimsatt who wrote Bomb the Suburbs and No More Prisons – two eye opening texts for a teenager to [...]

It’s time to get back to work. Marriage is in full effect, we’ve finally done something right as a country, school is nearly out of my system, summer is over. It’s time to start creating again.
It feels good to find a new direction, it feels better to execute on it.
Completing grad school has thrown me [...]

On being a new mom…
J and I had been talking about getting a dog for years, we’d always said that it wasn’t the right time, or that we didn’t have enough money. There was always a logical reason why we shouldn’t get a puppy, and selfishly, I didn’t know if I really wanted all of the responsibility that comes [...]

Taco Blog? HELL YES
A blog after my own heart. Tacohunt is possibly the best thing to ever happen to the lucky internet users of California. Sadly, I am not included in this geographic segment, but it doesn’t break my spirit! My love for tacos cannot be vanquished by mountains, deserts, lakes, or canyons. (Also, J’s family lives in CA, [...]

Moving or Stationary?
J and I have been planning for our upcoming wedding vacation these last few weeks. We’ve been geeking out together on all of the new adventures, happily unexpected things that might happen, and what we hope to do before the vacay is over. All of our excitement/bonding over this one trip has really made me [...]

Time Stops and Starts Again
I went to Milwaukee this weekend with Jason and Coupon for a bridal shower my sister was having for me. Honestly, I’d prefer that people didn’t make a big fuss about our upcoming wedding, that they didn’t give gifts, and that they knew their love and support was enough. Apparently, people want to make a [...]
