String theorists, quantum physists and various other folks whose heads are far to pointed would have us believe that there is no distinction between past, present and future. This concept is hard to get ones head around, and very hard to represent in the writing of ones resumé. I'm doing my best For the most part, this section deals primarily with the past; all of which of course, connected to the present, and provides a glimps perhaps an insight to our future, I guess.
I have placed current active project here under "The Beat Goes On..." 9I will work on this next). I have reserved the GOGO section as a place for a more thorough examination of current thinking, idea and practices. How this site works, (because I have no interest in making this easy for the folks who have lost the ability to pay attention, I feel the need to explain) what to expect... You have reached a page that has been listed with a status of [BO] • What you will find on suchly designated pages are simply sketches, my notes... half realized full blown comments on __________, this here notion.
Basically this site is my note book... A MESS? Certainly • But I am hoping that you'll find a nugget of interest; Something that perhaps will spur a desire in you to contact me; and get the ball rolling on YOUR project, perhaps? ...for now... it's all just [BS]&[BO] ...enjoy (and do comment, please) |

If getting to know GOGO in this more sequential manner IS your preference, I suggest you start with my simple, standard, straight up resumé. From there, you can wander around the stories below. It's all a work in progress, even my past. As I find more and more of the materials I've left flung around these internets, I'll toss 'em up here...

TALL TALES FROM THESE LAST... 25 YEARS... AND COUNTING ...and more goodies on the go!
A steady reclamation project. These are merely elements, bits and pieces of the work I have done, am doing or would like to have done... In many ways this is helping me remember where all these crazy notions came from...
The projects below are in varying states of completion. My resume IS complete in so much as it works for today, I tweak it as often as feedback dictates. A project defining my relationship with and the influence of my many mentors over the years has been started. I am certain that this project will be endless and ongoing. Over the years I have developed many custom tools to help me manage the success of projects and the business I've been involved with. I've been labelled a stats junkie. I've started to collect these system, organize them, review them and when possible, present them with an eye to comparing what we can and should track, how current tools are letting us down and what tools I find very useful these days. The final "planned project" which must be done within the next 18 month revolves around my celebration of the made up anniversary of my involvement in social media. As much as it is a sarcastic response to the notion that ALL of this in NEW; I'm hoping it will provide context my assertion that all of this started somewhere else and some time ago. Agreed, much of this is new, but seriously, the successful use of what we now call social relies on the deployment of business practices established decades ago, if not centuries. You may find some of these projects crossing over with current business under the GOGO section, really how could they not... After all, according to those with far too pointed heads, this is NOT PAST... This is ALL on-going towards a future that is right here now; isn't it? |
