Not My iPhone
I ran into an iPhone hacker today. My iPhone is at its original settings as voiding the warranty on a $350 device is not fiscally realistic, right now. So, today was my first chance to play with an open iPhone (still locked to AT&T, which is not a BIG deal) and it was awesome! Being […]

Coming Soon: Free Ronald Jenkees CD!
I know I’ve been slacking a bit with this blog; the combination of very nice weather and lack of classes until 2008 have been quite the distraction (must take advantage of it while it lasts)! For those readers who saw I bought an iPhone and have been waiting for my opinion, it’s been one week […]
The Artistic Scientific Leader (Personal Reflection)
When I saw the textbook title for this course, The Art and Science of Leadership, I chuckled a little bit. My assumptions before this course was that leadership was a field difficult to research, in terms of what makes a leader successful and what styles of leadership lead to that success. In my mind, it […]
Good Things (iPhone) Come Cheaper to Those Who Wait
For the past year, my cell phone service has been on a month to month basis, as my contract ran out last August and Verizon Wireless eliminated the plan I was under. Since I didn’t want a cheaper/more expensive plan, I stayed in a month to month plan. Now, one year later, my decision has […]

The grades for my graduate course, Perspectives on Leadership,were released a few days ago and, unfortunately, the dream of graduating with a 4.0 is officially over. It was a long and hard fought battle […]
The Second Glass & MAP Boston
Last week I attended the Boston Young Entrepreneur’s meeting at City Hall, where I met quite a few interesting people. Amongst the group was Tyler Balliet, CEO and Publisher of The Second Glass, an unpretentious wine magazine. For my Bostonian readers, you may recognize The Second Glass from the half-page article in the August 22nd […]
Ray Anderson: Personal, Corporate, Societal Leader
As Interface Carpets’ mission focuses on environmental sustainability, Ray Anderson’s leadership style shows evidence of both ethical and servant strategies. Since the environment is a resource shared by and endowed to all humans and life on earth, any company which disproportionately uses environmental resources for its own benefit, especially in a harmful manner, is acting […]
This Space for Sale
It’s surprising how many of the marketing methods utilized by advertisers from the Industrial Era and later are still used today. For instance, the concept of maintaining integrity of the medium at craigslist.org leads to a huge range of categories which contain and restrict the listings to defined spaces, similar to the column and type […]
Industrial Revolution Era Spammers
In the beginning stages of marketing in America, the media distributors were entities completely dissociated from advertising and worked to institute journalistic standards, which in turn limited the range of advertising and forced advertisers to focus on the content, not the delivery. Newspapers were the primary media of the time and worked to ensure each […]
