A couple weeks ago I found @madefromdolly on twitter. I loved the shirts – and the idea. After searching the site, I found that the creator was @jwright and that the shirts were just the tip of his creative iceberg. So, I couldn’t help but ask him to guest post on my blog and talk about how he is using his creativity and twitter to...
Oh…look at all the pretty colors! No, I didn’t go crazy with a swirl art, I got a bit of creative motivation from Ari Herzog’s blog post about a new tool on Facebook, created by Thomas Fletcher. It is a facebook friend wheel, and all those colorful lines are a visual simulation of the mutual connections that my friends create. Ari explains the power of the...
Yesterday I talked about the idea that certain colors (blue and red) could provide different types of motivation. The study concluded if you wanted to be more creative, surround yourself in a blue environment. For more detail oriented work, surround yourself in red.

Here are some of the pieces that my twitter question led me...

There were approximately 30 guests, who were treated to a brief history of Sierra Nevada by one of the original brothers who started the company 29 years ago (while enjoying 4 of their best beers) and awesome food courtesy of Steelhead. Not only was...
I am often amazed at the lack of real people that I talk to anymore. Today I tried calling for a question about my credit card** and it took me through a series of ‘press # if…’ for 10 minutes before I had pressed zero enough times got me to an operator. So of course, during those 10 minutes, I got to thinking about how...
Last week, I asked everyone on twitter what their favorite websites were. But, I only talked about one that I liked (my own). Many people later asked me what other sites I liked. The problem was, I couldn’t define a category to stick with. There are so many posts out there about the 10 sites you must go to if… …you’re into social media …you like sports …you’re...
