What Gene Upshaw & the NFL can teach our new president

I love the NFL. Everyone should agree that it's the premier professional sports league...and the reason for that is parity. Now in Government a lot of people are going to think that anyone who even discusses policy designed to bring on parity is a (gulp) socialist..... The rol… Continue

Fuel Conservation can be easy and effective...but are the savings wasted?

So this cartoon may be a little quaint in the price of gas, but the message is right on. High gas prices trigger the right conservation effect. Today the price of a barrel of oil hit $162 down 57% from July. Why? Because high prices have triggered the right behavior… Continue

Ok, so this isn't the typical new car glamor shot :-) But the primary feature of the new VW Jetta Diesel is this dashboard. Rather than the Speedometer front & center, my focus is drawn to my Miles Per Gallon. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo (I was driving) but this sho… Continue

Self Promotion and my new direction in Smaller Indiana

I am one who has been called out by Pat for being too self-promotional. Pat's right. I've got lot's of other outlets and I get that he's trying to make SI something different. So from now on, I'm only going to blog here on Environmental issues that occupy my thinking. Starting with something that really kind of freaked me out in the Star this Sunday. Anyone else read the article about the new Marriott? Great project and I'm of course all for development here in Indianapolis that drives the wel… Continue

WWSD? (What would Seth do?)

Many of you know that I'm kind of a freak for Seth Godin. Permission Marketing inspired me to start emailing and Co-found ExactTarget. I've pounded on bongos in the loft in Dobbs Ferry and it was Seth who first got me started on blogging and inspired me to write my book. The thing is that Seth is easy to follow. His message is simple, ethical and most of all True. We built Compendium around what we believe to be the principles he would advocate (although, Martin Luther thought that too, LOL)… Continue

This stuff makes me so mad that I just have to rant a little..... The stuff I heard at the conference and throughout the blogoshpere has given me an idea for a whitepaper: "Top Ten Lies about Business Blogging" (once I ca… Continue
