[Holga] On Conversation I work with companies every day teaching them how to use Social Media to build community and create valuable connections. For many of them, I am seeking to move them toward a paradigm shift in their marketing framework: Relationships matter. Stop talking at people, and learn to listen. Learn to truly listen.

Semi-colons I have been tutoring a bit more than normal these days, among other things. Today I had the joy of explaining how to use a semi-colon appropriately to my brilliant South Korean student. I discovered today that hidden within the proper usage of our dear semi-colon is a metaphor for romantic relationships. Who knew punctuation […] No responses March 18, 2010

The photos reminded me how much joy […] No responses March 12, 2010
