alternative radio’s newsweekly, the sands report, was cool enough to reach out for a piece entitled : “using social media to build a career.” granted, it’s an “industry” weekly, but, if interested in the topic, maybe it can help ?! otherwise, if you’re into alternative radio (music, and trends,) i highly recommend you subscribe to [...]

anchorman 2 = yew !!
Wednesday night, a 70′s-inspired, burgundy-suited, flute-wielding Will Ferrell sent shock-waves through ‘a whale’s vagina’ after announcing an “Anchorman” sequel on “Conan.” After doing a happy dance in my white, patent-leather shoes, I pulled out archived photos from an “Anchorman” press junket I attended in 2004 at the Beverly-Wilshire in Los Angeles. After watching the film [...]
new path
first, i am NOT going to AM 1000, catholic radio, FM949, or (back to) 91X. after exiting radio (the first time) in 2008, it was a quick immersion into online media, or, social media, or, interactive media … what is it called today ? oh, MEDIA. with the same fervor of my early radio career, [...]

unfriend to a better friendship
since the birth of social (or, anti-social) media, i don’t see my friends as much. sure, career, parenthood, + life presents challenges to grabbing the ubiquitous beer, but, this is different. prior to facebook (or, social media updates,) if we wanted to catch-up with a friend, we picked up the phone, CALLED + made plans [...]
