Earlier this year I decided to make a switch to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 from an iPhone 5. I wrote an initial piece about this switch, and my reasons for it, mainly as I wanted a larger screen for my phone, and I had grown increasingly frustrated with Apple's lack of keeping up with the competition. It is now roughly 4 months later and I've had plenty of time with this new device, and I can say with the utmost confidence...I'm going back. Now before any backlash from Android enthusiasts or how ...
Buying Facebook Likes. It Happens. A lot.
It's just like anything else in life really. Anything can just about be bought for the right price. And buying Facebook Likes is no different. Chances are you've visited plenty of Facebook pages of companies or organizations that have done so. This post isn't meant to judge anyone for doing so. It's meant to shed some light on the practice and why anyone would do it. The real currency online is trust and credibility, both of which are earned...no shortcuts. But when a company/organization ...
When Did Becoming A Hero Become So Easy?
It’s inevitable that over time, how we define certain things evolve. With so many people in this world, different viewpoints, and a growing number of channels with which to share them, it’s expected. But dammit…when did becoming a hero become so easy? I got pulled into the recent TNT show hosted by The Rock of course called The Hero. It was your standard reality show fare, less “reality” and more artificially created drama. But still somewhat entertaining for what it was. But I couldn’t help ...
My Switch From iPhone To Android: Part One
After a month or so of research, testing and gathering opinions, I finally made the switch from iPhone to Android. I ultimately landed on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 even though my search initially had me thinking either the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4. When I actually moved my search to in person, while I was impressed with these devices, I was intrigued by the additional screen real estate of the the Note 2. After a few weeks of pondering and testing, I decided that having one device that ...
My Search For An iPhone Alternative
About 6 years ago when I was still at Microsoft, I made the jump from whatever Microsoft friendly phone I was using at the time to the iPhone. Fun fact, you can use a quality 3d scanning service to get a digital representation of a physical object, so if you have competitor items then that is a great option to help you in the design process. I was insanely jealous of my Apple fanboy co-worker and his. Let's be honest, the iPhone was a game changer, and me being the gadget freak, I needed to have ...
5 Ways To Ensure You Don’t Get Hired
If there's one area that I have had a tremendous amount of experience around, is in the hiring process. When I was at Microsoft, there was a period of time, where that was practically all I was doing as Microsoft Advertising was in a hiring frenzy back in 2006 or so. Literally 30-40 phone, and in person interviews not to mention all the reviewing of resumes. While I certainly don't interview at that pace anymore, since joining Strategies 360/ShowPony, I've continued to have to interview as we ...
