Oh, Twitter.  I’m going to help you re-write your suspension guidelines and more importantly your appeal and re-instatement guidelines.

Frustration.

The news coverage has now jumped on the band wagon of loving MJ.  It’s sad to think he thought many in the world hated him and only thought of him as a joke…  he died thinking that.

I’m not without fault.  The dude went off the deep end with some of the stuff he pulled and the way he acted, but when it comes down to it, he had a child, he had a mom, he had a dad, he had brothers and he had sisters.

Michael Jackson, thanks for recording your life.  Thanks for making some of the best records ever.  You truly were Off The Wall.

Check out this collection of Michael Jackson Music…  Lot’s of amazing stuff, you’ll be surprised.

Please don’t make fun of me while I figure out my theme/design fiasco.  My last site was customized and now I’m without it.

I’ll be back in a few days… hopefully.

You guys know that I’m an avid Twitter user. You know that I am very much against spam and really hate the auto DM wars that continue. I use Twitter daily for communication with my clients, friends, family and people with similar interests. I have grown dependent on it which I now know is not a smart move especially for businesses.

Twitter, I have a suggestion. Investigate the people you think are abusing the system and then contact them or give them a suggestion/warning regarding the usage. If that’s too hard then how about have a way for users to verify and update their account in the event it was an accident or a hacking.

Twitter, don’t make us wait 30 days! You have created a great tool that many of us do business with and communicate critically with! There has to be a way to weed out the legitimate users from the others…

I love Twitter but I have to believe there are some ways to improve this issue. We’ve come so far Twitter and to just let me fade away hurts.

Check out this short story about the Beatles. Awesome.

• Billy Boy On Poison – Single is On My Way
• Audrye Sessions – Single is Turn Me Off. I’ve been on this band for a few months.. dig it a lot.
• The Sounds – Single is No One Sleeps When I’m Awake, love the girls that rock.
• The Trews – Single is Paranoid Freak – Great Canadian band, very poppy fun but still rockin’.

I was self employed for 13 years before taking a sweet gig at Daniel Island. I’m very thankful for Daniel Island and am excited that I was able to be a part of a great (and laid back) team. I know that if I had taken any other “corporate” job I would have been done a long time ago!

What’s next? Well, I have two focuses. I’ve had Tone Box Digital for a few years and it has been steadily growing and building a base of artists. Tone Box will continue and will actually get a bit more focus now. The BIG news is the launching of Inked Digital. Inked Digital has been in the back of my mind for quite some time and now it’s time to bring it to the world… well, let’s just say the Southeast & West coast for now. Inked Digital is an interactive collaboration of many different talents from designers, developers, writers, PR pros, web gurus and in general some of the smartest people you’ll meet.

Inked Digital will have a home-base in Nashville but will also be VERY active in the Charleston, SC area since I will be here for a week or so every month. I will continue to manage and handle the interactive world for Daniel Island and quite a few others in Charleston.

Charleston, you’ve been awesome and I’m glad that I’m going to continue to be around every month… I’m saying that out loud so you people don’t forget me!

So, without any more explanation… Here’s the Camping post!

Renee and I got a pop-up camper last fall and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it. Last weekend we took a trip to Moncks Corner, SC and spent a long weekend on the lake in our pop-up. We fished a lot… I caught one nice size catfish… Renee, on the other hand, caught two. Not just two, but two that were big enough to feed 7 people! Yes, we caught them and cooked them within 2 hours. Mmm.. good. Emma and Emerson were awesome and I’m glad they love being outside as much as I do.

OK, really, no more words. Here are pics…
