You know, I really think that Keith Burtis’ momma raised him right. Time and time again this guy goes above and beyond the call of duty to help out people in need, using his God-given talent to help out those in his community.
Case in point, Dave Delaney. Now Dave is a social media strategist, working in Nashville. He has suddenly found himself without access to a laptop, which is a crummy position to be in when you are trying to woo and impress clients. So, one of the cool things he is doing is selling a one of a kind playing card that was created for his “8000th Tweet” video. You can check it out on eBay. Go, now. I’ll wait.
Welcome back.
Keith Burtis, being the stand up guy he is, wanted to help Dave. So, tonight only, Keith is going to do a live turing and auction of a special piece, all proceeds going to Dave. You can read about it here, and check out Keith on Blog TV here.
It’s amazingly cool to see people like Keith who are so about community, the first thing they think of when they read that a friend is is trouble is “how can I help.” That is what community is all about.
There is a series of radio ads in Toronto that drove me a little nuts when I first heard them.

My son has a small doll that he has had since birth, which we call the Tickle Fairy. Since he was a teeny tiny man we would use her long, soft hair to tickle him. It was one of the first things that ever made him laugh. As part of Tarquin’s birthday celebrations I wrote [...]
Some time ago I wrote about the Macbook Air in slightly disparaging terms, wondering about the usefulness of cloud computing what with the Intertubes getting all messed up in the future.
But then I found myself in need of a simple, small and affordable laptop so I could write and podcast easily wherever I happen to [...]
My second novel, Lost Gods is finished. I will have many many different announcements about this in the upcoming months, but for now, I am pleased that I am working on edits, and making the novel better and better. For those of you who are familiar with my first novel, White Trash Land, well, this [...]
This post is actually a re-post from my previous blog at fractual.com. Just around three years ago my first son was born, and I was getting back into writing n a big way. His birth was difficult, and there were many tense moments where I was afraid for my wife and for him.
Now, he is [...]
So, while Twitter is totally borked I have been playing around with FriendFeed. Now, I’m not ready to give up on Twitter, I will probably never give up on Twitter, but I’m thinking about how all of my eggs are in that basket, and I need to branch out a little, you know? So, there [...]
I don’t know whether or not human beings have souls, and frankly, I’m not interested in that debate right now. What I do know, however, is that the Internet has a soul
Now, I know you are probably thinking that I have gone off the rails yet again. How is it possible that the Internet, a [...]
Famed super hero Iron Man has just released a statement to the public stating that he is sick and tired of being called a “Second String” super hero in reviews for his new film.
“Seriously,” he was quoted as saying. “That shit is just not cool. I was an Avenger when Spider-Man was just a whiny [...]
