The Ubiquity of Tribes & The Widgets That Track Them

It’s clear the Internet is changing our world as we know it and we’re starting to see a significant shift in the balance of influence. American politics is slowly starting to wake up to this reality and only time will tell where we go from here.

The Wizard behind the Curtain

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” – The Wizard When I think of The Wizard from The Wizard of Oz, I think of a question I remember having even at the age of 6 when I first remember watching this movie.  Why is this man hiding behind the curtain?  Why not just come out and say it himself?  What’s the thinking here?

Stress(less)

With context and patience, you can navigate the hurdles of even the most “stressful” life. Whether you’re a CEO, janitor, laborer, or stock broker, we all have career stresses at varying levels. Some more than others. And this doesn’t take into account stress from families, finances, relationships, deaths, moving, etc…! I think and write a lot about stress. I think it’s probably because I’m always stressed out. I wake up to 50 or so e-mails in the morning, handle calls and internal and external meetings in the mornings, and then …
