Tropical Storm Hermine brought the fury in San Antonio, TX on September 7, 2010. Power outages around the Quarry area were likely linked to this tree that was taken out on Sunset near Jones Maltsberger. High resolution photos available on Flickr. Map of area View Larger Map Share
Filtering Feedbacks and Attacks
Reading through Dr. Mark Goulston’s blog posts, I noticed a piece about independence. He explains that the successful people he coaches have the follow three attributes in common: self-reliance, resourcefulness and coachability. Many of us will take on additional responsibility and we’ll look for ways to leverage resources but we miss out on these high [...]
The Center of Attention
You see people connected with others and wonder how they did that. They don’t seem as if they would be travelling in the same circles or sharing any common interests. How did they get there? According to University of Minnesota psychologist Mark Snyder, these people are considered “high self-monitoring.” These people are quick to pick [...]
The Battle Between Laziness & Gratitude
No man is an island…Well, maybe Roy Bragg. Other than Roy, the rest of us depend on others. Sometimes with large needs and sometimes with the trivial. Wrapped with our needs is busyness. We have our friends and family with us, the phone ringing, the email inbox filling up and the social network messages piling [...]
Learning from Everyone
Last Saturday, National Council of La Raza’s (NCLR) Annual Conference came to San Antonio. I had the pleasure of volunteering with some of my BMPR pals. We volunteered to be citizen journalists as well as teach social media to anyone during the conference. In my first interview I met a well-kept man in his mid [...]
Voting for Dave Peckens is Next to Godliness
If you read nothing else, read this: Vote for Dave Peckens in the CrackBerry Idol contest. It’s the right thing to do. @davepeckens is a friend of mine. No, we’ve never met, but that’s merely a technicality. Dave and I have shared some great conversations about business, religion, being a husband, a dad and so [...]
Sometimes It’s You
Sometimes it’s you… that was wrong. that saved the day. that has to take the first step. that needs a break. that can do it, because no one else can. that has to say “I’m sorry.” that lends a helping hand. that doesn’t deserve it. that believes in others. that pushes it over the edge. [...]
New York City – It’s YouTube in Real Life
Joe Gallo (@jgallo02) kindly allowed me to guest blog my ramblings on his awesome site, Tales of a New Yorker. A big thank you to Michael Bettiol (@bettiol) for making the connection. Below is NYC through my eyes. “I posted a video on YouTube and I’m getting the weirdest responses…some people have said some really [...]
Sometimes You Have a Bad Day
My family and I attended one of the most amazing weddings in New Jersey this June. My parents flew in on American Airlines, I flew in on my old friend, Southwest Airlines and my sister tried a new airline – JetBlue. I’ve not yet had that the pleasure of travelling on JetBlue, but my pal [...]
Privacy Concerns Don’t Matter
There’s so much chatter surrounding your privacy online. People are often amazed when I tell them that I not only know where they live but how much their house cost because of the local tax appraisal district website. *gasp* If I take five minutes I can likely find your email address, figure out where you [...]
