Gone Fishing…
// October 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // life
I’ve been in Charleston since last week working with my favorite Charleston Real Estate company… Daniel Island. When I come to Charleston I love to go to the beach and get out on the water. Today, I got on the water.
Renee and I took our first charter fishing trip and had a blast. We spent a good 4 hours fishing with Captain Geoff Bennett with Charleston Charter Fishing and he was awesome! He taught us some new fishing techniques and guided us around the creeks and waters of Folly Beach. We caught 1 flounder, 5 redfish, 2 whiting and 1 trout. A pretty good day for two people who have only ever fished for catfish!
This post is for Capt. Geoff! If you get the chance to go inshore fishing in Charleston, call him! He’s great for beginners and hardcore fly fisherman as well. Thanks Geoff!
Notice I only shared one photo with a fish. Renee’s monster flounder… the rest weren’t regulation and got thrown back.

The Curse Of Experts
// October 8th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Technology, life
The curse of experts is overconfidence. They think they know more than they really do. – Malcolm Gladwell
This morning Michael Hyatt quoted this guy. I don’t have any idea who -just realized who Malcolm Gladwell is, he wrote this most excellent book– The Tipping Point. No matter, he nailed this point. There are so many “experts” online today and it blows me away when you actually talk to some and they don’t have a clue. It’s easy to copy and paste and it’s even easier to retweet the positive things people say (as well as retweet the positive things people say about you).
Know your limitations… they don’t make you weak. They make you stronger. Build your network so that you have access to knowledge and more knowledge but don’t assume you know everything your “friends” know.
I don’t suppose this quote would do well in a poster format… I mean, who would be happy receiving this for their wall!
(don’t wait for the movie.)
Yup. Twitter is down… the world is at a stand still.

Twitter might be talking to Google and Microsoft about multi-million dollar search deals, but apparently, someone forgot to start the engines on the service this morning.
Many user’s timelines haven’t updated in nearly an hour, and on my account, all of my followers and people I’m following are missing. Yikes!
Somewhat ironically, Twitter (
) search still appears to be working in near real-time, so you can see other users complaining about their timelines not updating.
No word yet from Twitter on what’s up, but we’ll update when we know more. Are you experiencing the Twitter time freeze? Let us know in the comments.Image courtesy of iStockphoto (
U2 + Muse + Atlanta + 360 Tour = Amazing
// October 7th, 2009 // No Comments » // Music & Entertainment, life
I’m a music guy. Most already know that. I’ve been in the music business for quite some time and have been playing music even longer. I’ve seen some amazing bands, some that most would laugh at and some that many would have killed to see. But I had never seen U2. Nope, never. I know, I’m one of the few. For one reason or another, ticket prices or just not close by, I never made it. Until last night.
This isn’t a long post and I know this tour is almost over (for the US at least) but if you have any chance at going to see this show… pay the money and go. You will fall in love with music all over again. You will remember when music moved you and was fun to listen to. Maybe it’s the timeless songs or I’ve been listening to them since my dad brought home some cassette called War back in ‘84 or ‘85. U2 connects. They get it. Even in an arena.
Also, Muse was amazing. I’ve dug this band for a while and it’s their time no doubt. If you haven’t had a chance to check out their new album I encourage you to do so. Really Good.
Thanks U2 & Muse! Amazing job in the ATL.
The pics aren’t good but it’s all I’ve got. Not sure how the iPhone got such a sucky camera but they did.

Been talking about Google Wave for some time now and really have high hopes for the turn in social media and online communications… The video only highlights about 3.5% of what Google Wave can do.
