The view of the beach from our undisclosed location. If I tell you where this beach is, I'd have to kill you.
I’m on vacation on the Cape. We’re having a blast.
But this isn’t about the fact that we walked along the beach at dusk and had it all to ourselves or the fact that it’s so quiet and peaceful at our undisclosed location that I never want to leave.
Instead this post is about WordPress for Android, which allows me to blog directly from my G2.
I know that blogging is purportedly on the decline and that I should express myself in 140 characters or less.
Sorry, I prefer throw-back tech when it comes to online personal communication and with Swype, a camera and the WordPress for Android app, I have everything one needs to stay stuck in mid-decade.
Lunch with a former colleague I hadn’t seen in 7 years. People change a lot/don’t change at all.
Last weekend, I attended PodCamp Boston. It was incredible. And there are two things I learned. First, my fellow vps of marketing in Boston, who at their networking event three days before Podcamp Boston indicated they’d never heard of this major event happening in their backyard, will remain with their heads totally stuck in the sand.
Second, even I haven’t gone all the way. This blog’s URL was www.alexneihaus.com, representing my old-style Internet persona.
Now, as the more observant of you will notice, we are at www.yobyot.com. (Toyboy spelled backwards.)
What’s the difference? At PodCamp, people signed their badges with their Twitter handles. I’d been dabbling in Twitter — not quite getting it — until PodCamp, when I met people who tweeted they’d met me while we were talking. The number of people I follow and those following me exploded (relatively…I am still building contacts there).
So, the only right thing to do is to lose the web 1.0 persona and become all I can be.
