How a Dancing Peanut is Changing My Life

Yeah, that title probably got your attention, huh? “Dancing peanuts?!?  What the heck is he talking about now?!?” Actually, this is something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about for close to two months now.  Because of certain things that needed to come first, I had to keep it from you.  Sorry.  I know you’ll understand. How My Life is Changing Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve only ever had the chance to see a dancing peanut one other time.  While I know all about the effects of having two currently in my life, I only ever got to see one in action.  Both of those peanuts were excited to see the third. Figure out where I’m going yet? Yeah, that’s what you think it is. I’m so excited to finally let you know that Sarah and I will be expecting the third addition to our big, happy blended family!  She’s due in mid-August. We decided to start trying sometime after my birthday in November, knowing that we didn’t want the boys and our new baby to be too far apart in age.  What we didn’t know is that we would be extremely proficient in our procreation skills.  It was just before Christmas that we learned that Sarah was carrying a tiny, little dancing peanut in her belly. Honestly, I think it’s been the most special Christmas present either of us have ever received. Dancing Peanut So you know by looking at the ultra sound picture that babies in that stage of development tend to look like peanuts.  No, I didn’t make that one up.  There are loads of bad jokes like that one flying around doctor’s offices everywhere.  But the dancing part has what I think is a really a cool story behind it – cool enough that I’ll share it, [...]

Content Marketing World: Register This Weekend for the Super Early Bird Discount

Here’s something I think you will like, especially if you’re the person tasked with figuring out how to use internet content and social media to market your business. Content Marketing World 2011 is going to be held in Cleveland, Ohio from September 6th -8th.  You can check out the agenda and speakers that are already committed.  I’ll even be doing a talk on techniques you can use to create more compelling video content that gets the attention of  your customers and prospects. This coming Monday, January 31st (that’s in two days, folks) is the end of the super early bird rate of $795 for Content Marketing World.  After Monday, the price is going up and continues to go up as we get closer to the event.  It’s not a bad price for the length and quality of the event. Save More Pennies? Who doesn’t want to save pennies, right? So here’s the deal: Joe Pulizzi has given all the speakers and CMI partners a special little coupon code that will save you and additional $100 off of the super early bird registration. Mine is “EVENT42″ so please feel free to use it.  Pass it around to your friends and coworkers, and register for this event. Using the code will give you an additional $100 off (so it would be $695 total).  They work with groups, as well. And just so you know, I don’t make any money from issuing or having you use this code.  I am an active contributor at CMI, and we’ve even been working on a formal case study for Incept that will be published in the next few weeks.  The code is there to help you get to the event on less pennies. There you go.  I’ll be at Content Marketing World this year in Cleveland, and I’d [...]
