Emails With Guy Kawasaki and The Bloggess

Guy Kawasaki and crazed fan

Guy Kawasaki and crazed fan.

Recently, Guy Kawasaki came to my work and gave a talk on marketing and entrepreneurship.

It was awesome! He’s very funny, smart, self-deprecating, and very approachable. Apparently, the latter is against the opinion of his detractors.

I have to disagree with them. I found Guy to be very approachable – he let me attempt to get this photo THREE times. (and it’s still fuzzy WTF? I can’t even blame my crap photo skills on this one.)

He let me keep trying to get the picture even after I confessed to being the one who wrote the emails below…

(The following is my funny recounting of the events leading up to, and during, the Guy Kawasaki event. For his serious tips on marketing and entrepreneurship visit my post at Marketing SquirrelGuy Kawasaki Talks About Marketing and Entrepreneurship.)

    Today is Social Media Day!

    Happy Social Media Day!

    According to Mashable June 30th is Social Media Day.

    What, you didn’t know?!

    Ok, me either. I mean, really when did this start? Yesterday?

    So, I got this from The Bloggess. She thinks Mashable might have made it up. I’m thinking she’s right. But really, do we need a holiday to post and tweet?

    I think not.

    So… Happy Social Media Day! I think you should take the day off and celebrate properly.

    Spreading The Blogging Love and Getting Horizontal

    We Say ‘Dude’ In These Here Parts

    There's a magazine about this?

    I’m fascinated by linguistics, especially the colloquialisms specific to a certain region. We all have them, and those little words can give an indication of where you grew up, or lived for many years.

    Also when you grew up.

    A friend is visiting from Minnesota. He’s never been to California so I’m showing him the sights. The other day I used the word ‘dude’ when relaying some meaningless important story to him.

    Yes, maybe I’m a hopelessly outdated Californian, but that’s not the point.

    He’s been here three weeks and I’m the first person who’s said ‘dude’ to him. WTF? Continue reading We Say ‘Dude’ In These Here Parts

    Workforced.com – We are not alone!

    Workforced.com – This Office Doesn’t Work

    People, I’ve found a fellow cube-dweller and sufferer of my cube-shaped bit of hell. My heart it full.

    While stalking perusing one of my favorite blogs, Midget Man of Steel’s Mental Poo, I read his interview with Don Joe from Workforced.com. Comic GENIUS – both of them. Certifiable yes, but genius.

    I trotted on over to Workforce.com, an office comedy blog, and immediately realized I had found a comrade: A fellow sufferer of the padded, square-shaped hell. We are not alone.

    What he wrote about one of his colleagues bringing around their newborn brought tears of laughter to my eyes – Where The Son Doesn’t Shine.

    The man is now on my Blogroll: Funnier Bloggers.
