The title of this post may throw some of you off, but for those that know me you’ll know that I’m a part of an online ski community known as the “Maggots”. It’s a long story which I’ll save for another post but I was reading the other day an essay I wrote over there […]
In lieu of a couple of blog posts that I’m working on that can’t seem to get out of draft format and a blog presentation that I’m putting the icing on (presenting “Blogging With Purpose” tomorrow at Senator Bennett’s Rural Utah Business Conference), I wanted to post a cool little map tool I found from […]
In anticipation for next week when I’ll be hearing Seth Godin speak, who happens to be one of my favorite authors on business and marketing, I’m posting a video of him speaking about his previous book “All Marketers Are Liars”. Enjoy this video of his presentation to some Google Employees, hosted of course on Google […]
Well, perhaps it’s reason #4 or #7 but #2873 feels more substantial, more concrete. It’s strange though. I once said that “Google = BORG 2.0” but I still love it/them. Regardless of the count or my inner struggle to love the big G, here is the reason: Google Alerts. Do you have them? If not, […]
I hear that Seth Godin is a telemark skier. Really, my sources tell me so. But ski season has all but dwindled so he wouldn’t be coming to Utah to ski. The Dip Tour is why he would come. What’s theDip Tour you ask? It’s simple, but so unconventional. Someone once said that when you […]

My brother -in-law Scott works for Novell. He’s been a “lucky” one, surviving innumerable layoffs while Novell has re-branded and re-organized itself. The following are two things that impress me about what Novell is doing, despite what the street says. 1. Blogging. Take a look at the Novell Blogs, where they have both strategy blogs […]
One of the things I enjoy about my job at Backcountry.com is the opportunity and often the challenge of finding small events that we can sponsor. From this I often meet the most amazing people and get a chance to not only represent the brand I work for but also get to create a lasting […]
So the jazz man is gone, replaced by the image of my ski tracks above that my friend Jamie (FoothillFreak.com) took on March 7th while we explored some ridges in search of powder in the Uintas. Speaking of gone, it felt like winter was gone today. Highs in Park City were in the mid 50’s […]
After 3 hours of poking around the web and trying to get the hosting, FTP and other stuff figured out I’m getting somewhere with my own personal web 2.0, I think. sigh….maybe I took a wrong turn and got stuck at web 0.2 instead. Now if I can just get rid of that guy playing […]
