Great post! Definitely a timely read for me.
This is awesome!
Practice makes perfect. My favorite way to learn new skills on Illustrator is to follow tutorials. Tonight I created a mountain based on a tutorial by Design Spoon.
This is nuts! What do you think?
When I woke up this morning, I went outside to grab my paper of the Wall Street Journal. After reading the first page, I turned to the Marketplace section and the first thing that caught my attention… FACEBOOK. Facebook is wanting to build themselves a 394-Unit Housing Community near it’s office in Menlo, California to allow for its employees a much more appealing environment. How big are we talking about? 630,000 sq. ft! If you need something to help picture how big that is, here you go:
Rockingham Memorial Hospital, VA – 630,000sq ft
This new development center will give their current campus more of a home-like feeling, taking care of as much of its’ employees as possible, which is ultimately their goal. Although it will only be able to house about 10% of their current Menlo Park employees, that is still a significant number.
Facebook has done a very…

Here are a few suggestions for successful writing have stuck with me for the last 10 years. Determining what successful writing is can be somewhat like beauty being in the eye of the beholder. For me a successful writing piece is one that accurately gets my point across to the reader in a creative, engaging manner within the deadline it was needed. Nothing more… nothing less. With no further ado let’s jump into these tips:
TIP #1: SURROUNDINGS
Awesome post! Really enjoyed the talk as well. Great notes from Geoff.
A few days ago, I had the opportunity to attend a meeting learning and listening to the story of two successful entrepreneurs, Joe Schmidt and Tom Lotrecchiano. Here are some notes that I took from this event:
1. “No, that’s not a good question”
– Brainstorming; what is a better question to ask? How can I improve what I REALLY want to ask? (example: How can I raise more capital? —> How can I raise more capital to help improve my products? —> How can I raise more capital to help improve my products so I can become part of the Inc 5000 in the next 5 years? —> etc…) Good questions get answers, great questions get results.
2. “Make Small Bets”
– Experiment; trial and error; goal should be to eliminate as many variables as possible. Benefit of making small “bets” is low cost (if it becomes successful, congrats…

Twitagra…. Mixture of Twitter and Niagara falls?

I created my first tweet on August 31th, 2010: “Internet Marketing where you at?” because we were told to make a twitter for my Internet Marketing class. Every week we were suppose to tweet several tweets just to get the hang of it.
Honestly I did not really see the benefit or reason to tweet. “WHY?! I mean, I already have a facebook…” I heard from some of my friends who live in bigger cities that it was a great social tool and they “don’t know how they lived without it before”. But I still had a hard time connecting the dots. People would come up to me and say, “you know twitter is losing followers everyday! They have like a couple million that create accounts and then are not active, because it’s stupid”. My response to them now is…. YOU JUST DON’T KNOW! Twitter is an awesome connection device!
Facebook is great for scrolling and boredom, but twitter is real-time data streaming. The secrets with twitter is you focus on the data that is just released. If you are “retweeting” (means you repost what someone else posted) information from an hour ago… you. are. to. late. With Facebook you can comment on a Picture or post that someone had up several months ago and it doesn’t mean a thing. “I forgot about this! yeah that was a fun vacation. And yes I have lost weight since then!” (sorry, got off topic for a minute)
Stay recent means you will stay up-to-date. News hits twitter first! Whether that is Rebecca Black‘s “hit” single Friday or the fact that John Ensign is stepping down from the Senate it is all current NEWS!

Recently I have become a tweetaholic (urbandictionary). We are talking, “Hi, I am Josh and I am a tweetaholic”, style. Or a pack of 30 tweets a day, give or take a few. Since then my following has BOOMED! Last three days along I have jumped from 90 followers to now 128! I know it’s a small start, but I think I’m doing something right.
Tips:
*Tweet things that are trending IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THEM! (people tweet trending topics and have nothing to say)
*Follow things you are interested in… (news, media, hobbies, etc.) Then feel free to comment/retweet them.
*and now #donthashtageverthingthatyoutweet. #itisannoyingandveryunnecessary. #GOTIT!
*…but you can use #hashtags to add to your tweets. Either hash the tweet subjects or your thoughts from your tweets.
@example: “Hahaha my friend just tripped #evillaugh” or “Alaskan brown bear had cubs @chicagozoo #zoonews”
Hopefully these #tweettips will get you well on your way to being the next tweetninja. First step follow me! @therealdjmagik
