Surreal customer service

June 22, 2016

Once upon a time there was a nice lady named Nancy, who always tried to be a responsible adult. After her mother died, Nancy dutifully changed the mailing address to her own house. She even went in person to the local post office to do this. A week later, mail was still coming to the […]

Mr. Ken’s fitbit adventure

April 20, 2016

Earlier this month, it was my dear husband’s birthday. Since he has recently been on a walking kick (what better way to work off all those donuts!), I thought I would encourage this healthy new habit by getting him a fitbit as a present. Here’s the story of Mr. Ken and his latest toy. 1. […]

A walk through Cambridge

December 16, 2015

One of the many reasons that I love what I am doing right now is that I get to travel frequently to Cambridge, my favorite city in Massachusetts. I take the train into South Station, Boston and then I walk all the way to Harvard Square. It takes me about 90 minutes. I thought you […]

What happens when you write a lot

November 18, 2015

I love to write. I started out doing it just for fun and because it relaxed me. My writing has given me so much in return. Can we say free stuff from Amazon? Mr. Ken is especially happy when I get free stuff like the candy pictured above. You may notice that one candy has […]

Be in silence

November 4, 2015

I just got back from a 3 day prayer and meditation retreat. Cell phones were not allowed and nor was there computer access. The retreat was held in a leafy suburb of Boston. The grounds were magnificent! Even though the Boston suburbs are built up, once you were on the property, you felt as though […]

The future of marketing

October 21, 2015

The décor for the Future M conference was, appropriately, futuristic. For pictures see, My week at Future M. And not surprisingly, the theme was the future of marketing. Here are some main points from the first keynote talk, “Innovation in Technology” by Brian David Johnson, Futurist and Principal Engineer at Intel. We can turn anything […]

My week at Future M

October 14, 2015

I just finished up a fantastic week learning all about the future of marketing. Wow, with technology changing nearly every day, things in the business world change quickly too. I will be doing a series of posts about what I learned, but to start things off, I thought you all would enjoy hearing (or should […]

Information overload

September 16, 2015

We are bombarded with information, images and stuff. Just one email from a content marketing firm has about 20 article links. I find myself so overwhelmed that I no longer even open the email. I just hit delete. I can’t even be bothered to open the email, scroll down through all the stuff and hit […]

Annoying marketing

September 2, 2015

I am so fortunate to live in Boston, where the tech and marketing community is so vibrant. There are just so many wonderful networking and learning opportunities here. One organization that has created some great events is MITX, the Massachusetts Innovation and Technology Exchange. Unfortunately, some recent events have made me change my opinion of […]

Hangin’ out with Google

August 19, 2015

Do you hang out? I don’t think I ever just hung out, even when I was a teenager. Unless you count quietly reading a book all afternoon. I could never see the point of just sitting and doing nothing, even if I was in the company of good friends. Google, which will soon take over […]
