Patric Welch Are you addicted to learning? You should be

Erik Deckers TV Rots Your Brain, Read a Newspaper Instead

"Have you ever thought about DirecTV?" said the message. My wife had just IMed me while I was at work. "Uhh, no, no I haven't," I replied, getting defensive. "And so what if I have? There's nothing wrong with that. Dr. Phil says fantasies are important to having a healthy relationship. I mean, sure I walk through Best Buy with sunglasses on, but that's because it's so dang bright in there." "What are you talking about?" she wrote back. "All right, all right. Sometimes I think about DirecTV wh… Continue

Patric Welch Please don’t bother me, I’m on think-cation

People love going places on vacation. Others take time off work to just stay at home for what they call a stay-cation. I decided this week, I'm on think-cation. What is a think-cation? Well, for starters, I'm still working. Just not on the day-to-day things that usually bog me down. Instead, I'm dedicating the entire week to thinking of new ideas and new directions for Noobie. I'm also educating myself. Filling my head with audiobooks, taking online courses and reading eBooks. Food for the bus… Continue

Erik Deckers Houston Teachers Shocked to Find Zero Tolerance Applies to Them

I've long complained that zero tolerance policies turn school administrators into bureaucratic automatons who lack any common sense or compassion for rule breakers. From a first grade boy who was suspended for having a weapon – a knife he got from the school cafeteria – to girls who had anti-PMS medication, administrators' blind adherence to zero tolerance has put stains on the permanent records of otherwise-good kids who have never been a minute's trouble. And we all know how long those perman… Continue

David Mark Experience, or Education?

I had a conversation with a friend yesterday about a marketing position I'm attempting to fill. I shared with my pal that I interviewed a nice person with an undergrad degree in marketing from a very reputable school and is currently obtaining a masters degree. Sounds nice, right? Afterall, I have a marketing position available and the candidate is well-educated (within marketing), friendly and professional. So, why haven't I drafted an employment agreement yet? There was something missing. I w… Continue

Mark Bucherl Downsizing econtent delivery to the cellular level

I work in a world where my target message recipients are not infrequently very limited in their web access, I was excited to find a fellow web marketer using a cellular method of signing up for message delivery! Hurrah! Then I signed up and shoot, the IT gatekeepers have shut me down, aka they filtered my desired content: an untrusted or expired SSL certificate. So many details to getting the message through (just ask ExactTarget about effective email delivery).

Life insurance can meet business needs as well as personal needs. When the business is the largest asset of an owner’s estate, life insurance becomes a major planning tool.

There are many strategies to assist business owners to meet these estate-planning concerns. Below is a… Continue

Geoff Davis My Seven Things

I'm beginning this blog and my activities on "Smaller Indiana" with a "My Seven Things" list. This activity resonated with me and I assigned it to my elementary students. My students, at an IPS inner-city school, struggle with sentence structure. This assignement gives them a chance to write seven strong sentences about their favorite subject...themselves. I've written a few of these (I wrote Sixteen Things for Facebook) and they change with the audience.… Continue
