God I Love The Cincinnati Reds
God I love the Cincinnati Reds.
Ever since I was a young lad clad in Pampers and not knowing real life is a damper, I have loved the Red Stockings of the Queen City.
My mom grew up in Cincinnati for her childhood and she was a teenager when The Big Red Machine dominated baseball in the mid-70s. That’s where I got it from. I haven’t even thought about another team.
I wish I was able to...

5 Worst Movies I've Ever Seen

Social Media Guardians: The Watchers of Social...
Sitting with Nate Riggs at a recent engagement with a client he asked about what to call the people who watch over the social media of a company.
Thinking it over I came up with guardian angels (pretty weak.)
Nate countered with a brilliant title: Social Media Guardians.
It’s perfect.

The 21st Century Manhunt
I thought social media occupied every category known to man.
You can buy underwear and have them shipped from Target’s website. You can order steaks and get them shipped to your house. You can get movies online and watch newly released on DVD right on your home computer. However, social media has finally crossed a frontier I never thought possible:
Policing America.
