GEW Utah Entrepreneur Conference
I attended the GEW Utah Entreprenerial Conference today, since this week is Global Entrepreneur week. I was very glad I attended and came away with some very helpful points.
I was most impressed, however, with the organizers of the event. Greg Warnock, Alan Hall, Craig Bott and others are truly “giving back” to their communities. They [...]
Social Backlash for the Motrin Brand
One of the great results from a more open and social internet is the power that becomes vested in the people. It allows them to get the things they need - information, products, negotiation power, support, ideas - from each other instead of having to rely on companies.

I believe limited bailouts are needed in extreme cases (like AIG) simply because allowing them to fail threatens bankruptcies and [...]
Lost my Old Blog Entries
In my attempt to be server admin or programmer, I thought “I can upgrade my old version of wordpress to the newest version, no problem.”
In the process of the upgrade, I, like a putz, ignored all the “make a back up of your blog contents” warnings. Classic. To be honest, part of the [...]
