I am very excited to announce that I am going to be joining Bubblicious as a contributing writer.  I actually just wrote my first official post yesterday.  I am very exciting to join the bubblicious team and I have tremendous respect for the man who runs it, Brian Solis.  I have learned a lot from Brian and definitely consider him to be one of the leaders in the social media and emerging PR space. 

For those of you not familiar with Bubblicious, it is a site dedicated to covrering the social media culture and the social media economy.  What I like the most about Bubblicious is the personality.  It focusses on a different side of social media and tech, not many sites out there do this.  The writers are top quality and all bring a unique perspective and knowledge base to the team.

Of course, I am still going to be writing for my own blog as well

I encourage all of you to check out bubblicious.  I look forward to reading all of your comments!

Thanks for reading everyone!

Once you realize your computer is dead, you begin to realize how dependent you really are on technology and on the internet…

I just came back from Lake Tahoe where I tried to relax and take my mind off of work. I actually did spend some time reading though, and wanted to share a few useful tidbits of information that I have found while poking around on the web. Let’s get to it.

One of my favorite movies is “Groundhog Day” with Bill Murray. For those of you not familiar with the film, the premise is rather simple. Bill Murray is a rude grouchy fellow who is very inconsiderate of other people. One day Bill Murray wakes up to find that he is reliving the same day over and over; Groundhog Day. This is Bill Murray’s punishment for being rude and inconsiderate. As the film progresses we see how Bill Murray’s attitudes towards people changes. I am not going to spoil the ending but if you have not seen the film, I highly recommend it. I was just thinking about this film and it made me wonder…
