I had the opportunity of hearing PR expert Peter Shankman speak as part of the PRSA’s 10th anniversary event in Green Bay. he was a joy to listen to and just so high energy. I think he drank 4-5 cans of diet coke during his speach and people think I drink a lot.

He gave us 4 rules to live by…for better customer service and to better connect. Just brilliant!!! So simple, yet so perfect!

Thanks Peter for taking the time to comer to GB to inspire us!

I attended the last New North Social media Breakfast at UWGB. Very well done, very poorly attended. One of the things that was there was a fishbowl to drop your business card into. Well today i was notified by the head of UWGB marketing that I won tickets to 5 basketball games. HOW GREAT IS THAT!!!

Also getting psyched for the next NNSMB with Peter Shankman at brett Farve Steak house tomorrow. My first official PR thing ever and work is PAYING for it!!! Yeah!

Some I find this ransom note outside my door at work from my stolen iPhone. I need to deposit $300.00 US into a bank account before I will see the phone again. Seems like a fair amount since AT&T wants to charge me $599 to replace my stolen one.. OUCH!!!

Emma and baby Drew’s tub time yesterday didn’t go as planned. EVACUATE!!!

So I’m trying a new external mic and i’m not sure what I think. It seems that some of the sound is out of sync. That could mean I need a reboot…so i’m sorry ahead of time for this crappy sync. I have a audio-technica ATR3350 but its not working and I assume the battery is bad.

I’m jazzed for the Green bay social media breakfast in the am. Always great to see and hang out with good social media folks.

I love it when its Blueberry hill Friday. Starting the weekend off right with great friends and pancakes.. Can it get any better then that? I think not!! Yesterday I got my blood work done at work and I had to get on the scale. WOW that scale lies!!! I need to go on a diet and I hate that word…

Well I found the coolest app I have used in a long time. Well it found me courtesy of Amy Burford and @YapVoicemail. It’s a free app called YAP that transcribes your voice mail and then emails you a version as well as an audio file. SO COOL!!! What a time saver when you are in meetings and want to see the message, but don’t want to get up and leave. This totally rocks!!

Today I had the opportunity of speaking to 2 Appleton North High School marketing classes. What a great experience to give back to the community and make a difference as they learn about social media and how it plays into their career decisions. Great class and good times!

Well what a sad story to tell…

I was walking on Michigan Avenue sending a picture to my family… a panoramic image I had just taken and someone grabbed my brand new iPhone 4G form my hot little hands to took off. I have never ever ran faster in my life…screaming my head off. Others ran after the kid, donning a red knit hat… But he was way too fast. he took off down the stairs on the cross street of Michigan and Grand and was gone under the street. A police officer responded to the scene in seconds…but it was too late…

The poor thing was only 4 days old…

Just steps form the Michigan Avenue Apple Store… I feel so naked.

Well I hope you like your new iPhone… it takes great pictures and is so FAST!!! Scroll through the photos…. you can see my kids. I love them so.

So uncool!

I hope you get your just rewards…

OUCH!!! Tommy takes a look at the prices he is being charged for parking and simple snacks in his room at #graphexpo. WOW $53 a night for hotel parking, $4.50 for a snickers bar… YIKES!!! Mega Gouge!
