In the Middle of the Night

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night?

Maybe the cat was scratching, or the baby needed to be fed, or somthing went bump.
Does your mind start to race? Do you wonder if your remote teams did their work? Do you dread the commute and the stuffed full in-box. Big files attached… takes [...]

Have you been gruntled lately?

A friend asked me this question the other day, “Have you been gruntled lately”?
I have to say, it sounded kind of kinky, so I wasn’t sure how to answer.
Instead I asked, have you?
And she said, “yes, last night I was gruntled with lobster roll and crab cakes”. She immediately knew I hadn’t the foggiest clue [...]

Auto Generate

We had an interesting time at dinner last night.
The restaurant was overtaken by diners. Really. On a Thursday night in summer, I’m sure they were not at all prepared to be descended on by hoards of hungry locusts. The food was great, and the discussions really interesting.
The question came up of auto-generating schedules. A fascinating [...]

Publishers Debt Dilema

The picture looks pretty gray.

There’s a ton of pressure on publishers today. Sales are down, the internet is re-structuring the what information is gathered, managed and and distributed. Outsourcing doesn’t work as well as it does in pure manufactured products. What to do?
Check out Penelope Trunk on Gen Y and the attitude of mentoring, job [...]

Good Appingo morning

I had a really nice Appingo morning this morning.  I’ll tell you about it…
First of all, there was no reason that this particular morning should have been a good morning.  I had a 7A dentist appointment.  I was getting my teeth whitened for my upcoming wedding (yikes).  If you haven’t sat through a teeth whitening [...]

It IS that easy!

Appingo looked a little different to me when I first returned to the scene a few weeks ago. You see, I had a new baby recently and, well, I’ve been a little preoccupied. There are smiles to capture and naps to take here, diapers to change and tiny clothes to launder. Adjusting to life with [...]
