My First Week at rocketgenius
So, I’ve completed my first week at rocketgenius, and I have to say, I’m super happy. I’m not quite sure how my skills and expertise fit into the companies needs just yet, but I’m enjoying helping people through the support forums, reading through documentation, going through old support questions and…

Weird Dream
So last night, I fell asleep listening to a documentary and had a really strange dream. I was transported back in time and was staying with a wealthy family. I mistakenly thought it was like the 1700’s or something but it was closer to the 1450’s. The people I was…

Moving Around
Since graduating college in 2003, I have moved more than a few times. First, upon graduating, I moved from Kingston to London, Ontario where I worked in a call centre. This was, by far, the worst job I ever had. Next, I moved to Ottawa and stayed with my mom…

Moving to Ottawa
So, thanks to Barry being able to help me out, I’ll be moving to Ottawa on the 28th of April. I can’t believe my journey in Brockville is coming to an end. It is in some ways, bittersweet. While I didn’t really enjoy the city, I did enjoy my job…

Powerhouse Brands Online
A long time ago, I used to work for some blog networks, and in doing so, I realized the power of bringing many content producers under a single brand. Over the last year, I’ve been hearing how the blog network is dead, or how blog networks never worked and I…

Stress, Stress and More Stress
So, I am coming into another set of life changes, as I get closer to ending my full time employment with Charity Marketing Group they are asking me to finish up all of my major projects and make sure that everything is in tip top shape so they can do…

One Job Ends, Another Begins
So, I recently got a letter from Danielle, my manager, letting me know that the company has to downsize, and that I was being laid off. My last day is the middle of April, and while they’ve long promised me contract work after that point, no one ever said if…

Quick Update on My Life
Over the last little while I haven’t been blogging much, but I have been doing a fair number of things, and while each of them are worthy for a post, I am just going to give some quick bullet points because it doesn’t look like I’ll have more time in…

So Close to Purchasing a Tablet
With the release of the new iPad, I find myself constantly considering buying a tablet. My Samsung Galaxy S smartphone does a pretty good job at keeping me connected to the Internet and allowing me to consume content. My laptop stays at the office most days as I can easily…

Marketing Events, Conferences, and More
Recently, a co-worker came to me and said, “Are you going to attend this?” She had found an event nearby that I hadn’t heard about that was closely aligned with my interests and career goals. Despite consuming an immense amount of information online, I hadn’t been to any websites that…

The Lorax Review
One of my favourite books as a child was The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. While its strong environmental message really made me aware as a child, I doubt the movie would have the same effect for this generation of children. The message is so watered down through a romantic story,…

TeeFury – Finally an Inexpensive Geek Tees Shop
I am a huge fan of geek related t-shirts, I want to print my logo on everything and I’ve been price gouged far too often on them. Printed t-shirts at various retailers are usually between $10 and $20, but I’ve spent as much as $40 for some of my shirts…
