Comment on Doing Social Media 9-5 Means You’re Doing It Wrong by Rah

This is great. Some good insights backed up with real results from Buddy Media (who totally understands the social space). I’m in the process of writing a brief post about this exact topic myself. It’ just unbelievable to me that ANY brand would only monitor or post on their channels during a set time of day.

Comment on A Nation of Unlocked Doors, Digitally-Speaking by Dedicated_Dad

I know this was a tongue-in-cheek post, but as an IT geek myself I can’t resist the opportunity to educate.

In short, password rules are fairly simple:
*Longer is GENERALLY better
*avoid words found in a dictionary
*avoid obvious/easily guessed stuff like names, pets, birthdays, etc.
* caps, numbers, punctuation helps too!

It may SEEM complicated, but doesn’t have to be!

Here’s what I do:
pick a PHRASE, or SENTENCE.
Swap out symbols for vowels – a=@, e=3, i=!, o=0(zero) & u=%. Otherwise, just follow standard punctuation rules!

Thus, “Iloveyou” becomes “! l0v3 y0%.” – which is a pretty good password!

Other substitutions can add complexity and are obvious…

“! #@+3 +#!$ p@$$vv0rd $#!+”

is a VERY strong pass-phrase, and VERY easy to remember!

HTH!

The little boy in this ad is actually my son. We were also surprised that Banquet was being so bold and we love the ad as well. What magazine actually featured the ad because we never actually saw it in print?

I think a high-minded guy like you will enjoy this example of craft. High minded craft in the form of umbrella making. Enjoy.

Comment on Powering Down… by Matt Connell

That’s too bad!
I recently started reading your blog just within the week, yet, ironically, have not had the time to respond until now.
I just started blogging on two different sites, but as a recent ad-school grad, it’s a necessity for me. It’s one thing for someone in my position to have their traditional book, but everyone has to have something unique to say, a place to truly voice their opinions and talk about their interests. For me, I don’t even care as much about who reads it as I care about being able to vent and comment on stuff.
That’s just me!
