Lying Little Weasels
Do No Evil – I've been thinking a lot, lately, about lies and the miserable bastard weasels who use them as tools for doing business and for controlling their social lives. One of the hardest lessons to learn, while I was sculpting my career, was how to deal with lies. In all their myriad forms and nuances.

What Does A Good Life Look Like?
Careers & Jobs – Not sure if you've been following the micro-news or notââ;¬Â¦ but our little town here nestled against the Sierra Nevada has been Earthquake Central for the last week or so. It's gotten me thinking about what life is really all about, again. You know ââ;¬" once the danger

Cuz I'm The Taxman
Money – Just plowed through the old tax grind here. Spent several hours chasing down documents, digging through files, double-checking my math. Cuz I suck at math, you know. How I got through trig in high school is a mystery (let alone statistics and matrix theory in college). In fact, I'm only half-joking when I say I'm pretty sure I've lost the abi

How To Communicate Incoherently
Careers & Jobs – Communicating with another human being is never simple. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, walk away. They're dangerously wrong. In a broad sense, the population is roughly divided into 3 categories of cognitive processing: 1. Left-brain thinking (very logical and concrete)ââ;¬Â¦ 2. Right-brain think

Blissful, Suicidal Ignorance
Careers & Jobs – There is a LOT of crap lining the shelves at your local bookstores. And the library. And the ebook realm of your virtual reach. This, however, is not an excuse to turn your back on books. Or learning. Or (especially or) constantly nudging yourself out of your comfort zone into new territory, where you must learn and adapt and consistenly engage

Perspective, Part 1
Money – I'm laid up with a cold, and rather than work I'm thinking about weird stuff like perspective. More specifically, I've just blogged about wishful greedy thinking, irrational stubborness, Iran's Web silliness, and the stupidest friggin' client I've ever dealt with.

The Exhaustion Goldmine
Money – I'm sitting in my forty-year-old hotel room here at Disney World (Walt built the Contemporary as a "futuristic" hotel back in '69 and ââ;¬" while not a bad place to stay ââ;¬" it's got details that smack of a "B" sci-fi movie, like too much glass and aluminum unde

What Are You Laughing At?
Humor – The subject of developing, or finding, a sense of humor always comes up when pro's gather in a smoky back room to discuss advertising. None of us know if it's a self-selection process, or just an accidentââ;¬Â¦ but I can't think of a top copywriter who doesn't laugh easily and heartily (and at a wide range

Weak-Ass John vs. Kick-Ass John
Health & Fitness – Remember the scene in "Animal House" where Larry's (nicknamed "Pinto") date has passed outââ;¬Â¦ and while he's deciding what to do next, a little angel and a little devil appear on each shoulder, offering radically opposite advice? That's a funny sceneââ;¬&Ac

Walk A Mile In A Jerk's Shoesââ;¬Â¦
Careers & Jobs – Without the insights of good pop psychology, I cannot fathom how my neighbor isn't wracked with shame every second of his miserable life. Because he truly is a Grade A . It's not just me. Six other neighbors, on all sides, hate this guy's guts with varying levels of passion

How To Survive Excessive Recession Hand-Wringing
Careers & Jobs – Has the looming recession got you scared yet? The mainstream media sure hopes so. Sells more newspapers, boosts cable ratings on CNN and Fox and MSNBC, makes the populace hyper-aware (like jittery squirrels gathering nuts in a dog park), and gives advertisers a tidy little narrative to help position product. An audience with frayed nerves is an a

The Goal Of Goals
Health & Fitness – How're you doing with your 21-day habit change challenge? I almost screwed up last night. Walked by the kitchen around midnight, and I swear the last box of crackers in there was calling my name. Bastard carbohydrates.
