The Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals played their first basketball game nearly 100 years ago in 1913. The final score was 34-10 with the Cats on top. Over the next 70 years they only played a dozen times total, with Kentucky winning all but three games. In 1983 it all changed. Out of arrogance, Kentucky [...]
Unless my beloved Kentucky Wildcats are playing, I rarely find myself captured by a television. I am not one to follow television shows. Through college I could never understand friends who would lock themselves in for the night so they could catch a new episode of whatever the hottest medical or cop drama on TV [...]
Before I was a part of CurrentMarketing’s social media team, I was a photojournalist. As a photographer you think of photojournalism as changing the world one well composed frame at a time. I’ve been a part of some great storytelling, but as a freelancer it seemed more often than not I was standing at a [...]
2012 finally arrived and we’re approaching Facebook’s eight year anniversary and Twitter’s sixth. We’re always watching for what will be next and which startup may potentially take down one of the Goliaths. Since there are already too many people writing about what will be the latest and greatest in social media for this year I’m [...]
In a little over a decade the camera has made a century’s worth of headway – we went from film, to digital, to mobile, and for the most part photography has benefitted. During the London subway bombings in 2005, cell phone cameras brought in a new era of community journalism, allowing civilians to quickly capture [...]
It was about a year ago that my wife and I adopted our first puppy together. We did all of the things you do when you get your first dog – come up with the perfect name (Ernie), go to the vet, buy their food, collar, bowls and toys. We even bought him his own [...]
Everyone used to want their 15 minutes of fame, but not anymore. In the age of mobile media we’ll all hope for a viral YouTube video or a Top Tweet on Twitter. Or so I’ll figure for the sake of this blog. It’s incredibly tough to have such success. Out of each video that goes [...]
To all of my friends, I'm the nerd. I'm the one checking in when we go somewhere - pull out phone, cue the laughter. Even my wife makes an occasional joke about my Foursquare mayorships, although she never complains when we get special discounts from my check-ins. However, lately I have been using social media [...]
The tool belt – a place for everything, and everything in its place. Your hammer is in the loop, you got your nails in their pouch, toss in a carpenter pencil and a pocket-level. Oh, don’t forget your smart phone. It seems like an odd thing to actually need for your next Do-It-Yourself project, except [...]
The Internet-age-old complaint with news organizations is they did not embrace the web soon enough. Over the past five years they have made strides to catch back up, but their social media savvy readerships have been moving at 140 characters a second, and that’s a lot faster than it sounds. Don’t think so? Consider this: [...]
