Love this word, though the real words for half-assed are almost as good as the fun one: desultory, offhand, perfunctory, careless, superficial, half-baked, haphazard, slapdash, and sloppy. I originally was going to go with “help” as my “H-word,” but this one’s more fun. Plus, essentially all I had to say about help was “If you…

Gettysburg – One of My Favorite Places (#AtoZchallenge)
My love affair with the Civil War began with a question to my Meme. I must’ve been 7 or 8. I can’t remember the exact question, but I remember Meme and Pawpan were sitting in their respective chairs in the living room when I asked. She got up and pulled the “C” (I think it…

F and My Favorite Word (#AtoZchallenge)
Anyone who knows me probably has a good guess as to what this is. It’s the most versatile word in the English language. Noun. Verb. Adverb. Insult. Exclamation. Adjective. Exultation. Use it any number of ways. Note: beyond the line, NSFW. I thought about going in a different direction: faith (with a nod to George…

E and the Pursuit of Everything (#AtoZchallenge)
You can have it all. Get everything you can. You deserve the best of everything. I want it all.* Really, who doesn’t want it all? But what’s all. And what’s everything? When I first started thinking about this post earlier today, it was a screed against consumerism and our throw away culture. But, meh, we…

Defenestrated: Stream of Consciousness Saturday
Today’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt is to write using a word beginning with “de” and, for bonus points (and who doesn’t love bonus points), that also ends in “ed.” Disregarding for this post that because of all of the boner commercials on TV, when I see “ed” I immediately think “erectile dysfunction” (good job…

3 Content Marketing Haikus
I mentioned last week about the whining in content marketing, and two recent (excellent) blog posts both reinforced my pre-conceived notion (and who doesn't love that!?). First is "The Great Content Marketing Buzzkill" by Barry Feldman. The second post, which isn't negative at all, but which has a line in the intro, "some have suggested…

3 Things (2 That Bug Me) About Content Marketing
About 5 or 6 years ago, I had an idea to do a video series: 3 Things in 3 Minutes (yeah, rocket science, I know) to bring user-generated content in. While I might eventually pick back up on that idea again, started thinking to myself, "Self, why not do something like 3 things Thursday and…

Social Business – Myths and Truths
Four years (ish) ago I was invited to present a few thoughts on Enterprise 2.0 at EMC's 3rd Writer's Summit. The original title of the presentation: Enterprise 2.0 Myths (and a few truths). I stumbled onto my notes a few days ago and thought it would be fun to revisit to see how A) Smart or B)…
