Laptop Sleeve for Kicks Fiends
Now this is a laptop sleeve that only kicks fiends can appreciate.
Look at all the boxes! Don’t it remind you of my kicks anthology?
New on iTunes
New this week on iTunes:
- Twilight’s New Moon soundtrack. Pre-order and get one single now, but my main reason for ordering is Lupe Fiasco’s Solar Midnite.
- Britney’s 3. It’s Britney, you need to buy!
- Glee’s upcoming mashup of Halo/Walking on Sunshine and It’s My Life/Confessions. Not just great songs, but combos of great songs. OMG! The complete soundtrack is gonna be a keeper.
- Sarah McLachlan’s One Dream. Classic Sarah.
What’s In Your Coffee?
Wired magazine takes a look inside a typical cup of coffee and the ingredients that make it up.
Hmm, coffee contains a bug killer (caffeine), a cockroach pheromone (2-Ethylphenol), a compound giving human feces its odor (Dimethyl disulfide), the taste of butter (Acetylmethylcarbinol), a cavity preventer (Trigonelline), and so much more. No wonder it’s great stuff!!
Adding to My Book List: Harnessing the Groundswell
Ooh, the next “chapter” of the Groundswell will be coming out in 2010, and I’m adding “Harnessing the Groundswell: Drive Your Business With Empowered Employees and Customers” to my book list. Here’s their short description:
Who are these empowered people? They’re employees using simple technologies to solve business problems — but in ways management hasn’t sanctioned. They’re customers, armed with a sea of ambient information and friend connections, who redefine your brand. Either way, empowered individuals are a problem for locked-down and unprepared managers stuck on control. “Harnessing the Groundswell” explains how to enable, select, scale, and socialize this energy — that is, how to embrace empowered individuals and use them to drive your business forward.
Sound familiar to anyone?

What to Do, What to Do?
Got to follow up some leads about possible new “projects” to join. The biggest decision is whether to stay “home-based” or go back out working at customer sites.
Just not sure what to do, but I can’t forget the reason why I came back to the office, to help our organization improve.
Pre-order Glee on Dee Vee Dee
Even though Glee is in full swing, you can pre-order the first season of Glee on DVD already!
Pulpconnection Mobilized
Thanks to some prodding by @mirthlab, I finally got around to “mobilizing” Pulpconnection. What does that mean? I installed an alternate theme that kicks in when Pulpconnection is viewed by a mobile device like an iPhone or Blackberry. This theme is more compact and will then load faster without all the widget bling that you’d normally get.
Thanks to WPtouch, the mobile version of Pulpconnection looks like this.
Fitness by Trapeze or Hooping?
Who woulda thought that a trapeze bar or a hula hoop would be the latest ways to get into shape? Read about Jukari Fit to Fly and Hooping.
A Newer Way of Fundraising
With Twitter, traditional ways of doing things are being turned upside down. Last year, orders for Girl Scout cookies were (unofficially but successfully) taken on Twitter with the cookies delivered via a tweetup. Most recently, a fundraiser for breast cancer is using Twitter to get the word out about the disease.
Making online donations have been available for some time, but it’s easy to ignore these requests. What’s interesting is that Twitter gives these fundraisers a voice. A real voice that isn’t so easy to ignore as witnessed by a successful campaign by Team 808 Tweeps. Using Twitter as a campaign platform, this Hawaii-based team raised over $1600 for the fight against breast cancer, exceeding its goal of $1500.
Congratulations to Team 808 Tweeps!
