chimoose is (pre)posterous

One of my kindergartner's more creative subjects. I'm glad that she has chosen to focus on aboriginal bunnies vs the European imports.

Hey, everybody! I am really excited (and a little nervous) to be co-hosting the Quick 'n' Dirty podcast with Jennifer Leggio tonight on Blog Talk Radio (http://bit.ly/1CPXXr).
As always, there will be a "featured social network of the week" - and this week, it's 12seconds.tv. I haven't done a ton with it, but I am impressed by how easy they're making video sharing. I decided it would be a good idea to do a little mini-promo on 12seconds in advance of the show.
Be sure to tune in tonight at 3pm PST/6 EST.

During my latest trip to Mountain View, I had the chance to visit the Google Store on campus (much like every google product, it claims to be in "beta." Cute.) Anyway, I am just geeky enough to buy google-wear, so I came home with stuff for my team at work (@naimul and @hallicious each got a shirt) AND for my family.

Here are E and I showing off our swag.

There are times - and I think that we've all been there - when it can be pretty tough to come to work in the morning. Times when you wonder if all of the hard work is really making a difference. Times when you question the value of what you're doing.

That's why seeing a note like this is such a ray of sunshine. It's a notice that somebody, somewhere, is seeing that value and changing the way they think. That little piece of encouragement can go a long way.

So Megan Enloe, thank you. Chris Hall (aka hallicious), thank you. I'm at work on Monday morning and I feel great. Let's slay some dragons!

I just wanted to give a shout-out to my friend Michelle Jones who runs Consuming Louisville. Her brilliant blog was just named Best Entertainment Blog and runner-up for Best Local Site in the LEO Weekly Readers Choice Awards.
Michelle cares more about Louisville than anyone I know, and that love comes through in her writing every day. Way to go, Michelle!

This is a great t-shirt. But I probably wouldn't wear it to work.

 

I love good food, good drinks, fast cars, photography and New York City. I've been an Apple fanboy my entire life and worked on Final Cut Pro for 6 years.

So, I've been using posterous for a few months now, and loving it. I especially love the posterous bookmarklet that I can use to grab content from any web page, and blog about it here.

One thing I DON'T like is that, when I use the bookmarklet, I don't have access to any HTML controls (e.g., to embed hyperlinks). So I used the feedback option on the site to make that suggestion.

I got a response back from Sachin, the founder of the company, in less than 20 minutes indicating that he liked my idea, and would add it to the queue to be evaluated.

I know that personal service like that isn't always possible, and its probably not terribly scalable. but it sure as heck is nice when you can get it.

Thanks, Sachin, for the motivation to keep my customer service top-notch.
