Needful Things

Oh, Hi.   Wow, you’re still here? What’s that you say?  You’ve been waiting for me ALL this time?  Whoa.  I’m sorry.  But I’m humbled that you stuck around.   Can I make it up to you with a shopping trip? ’cause I found some cool things during my recent travels with the circus!… Step this way please!

Neurotransmitters Can Be Gorgeous, Too!

Yes, I actually found jewelry for Brain Geeks.  Who knew?

Scientist-turned-artist Raven Hannah find her inspiration in neuroscience, casts it in sterling, and offers the resulting loveliness  up to the world.

Yes, I know. I *said* I was going to do a ketchup-catchup post every Friday. But I’m behind on my catching up; did you really expect anything else? Seriously, I’ve been buried in work for Brain Fitness Boot Camp all week… with a major forum upgrade and changes in how the course material is accessed, etc. Those of you who are members will be getting an email shortly, detailing the additions - and for those of you who aren’t signed up yet, well… what are you waiting for, dang nabbit?

But while my head was buried in code, some cool things crossed my desk… and some other things are still bubbling on the back burner. [click to continue...]

Remember a week or so ago when I told you about my new bloggy crush, Havi Brooks? You all helped me take her teleclass webinar thingy on non-strategic marketing strategy, and it was really cool. Thanks!

Today, I’ve decided to shamelessly steal-borrow-adapt one of Havi’s other ideas - a weekly post that she calls her Friday Chicken/Checkin. It’s essentially a place and time where she rambles waxes eloquently about her week - the good, the bad, the painful, the beautiful. But because I’m me, and I have to be different even from the different, I’ve opted for a condiment cliche instead of a poultry pun. There’s a reason for my changing it up, too… it’s a reminder to me to catch-up on all of the things I should have told you about this week, and didn’t.

So here goes, your very first edition of Friday Ketchup!

First up? Some linkage for you:

OOPS. You missed the deadline for the extra special price offer, but I *did* get to attend Havi’s call (and it was way cool. more later) Still, I’m leaving this post here because, well… I love the image of the duck with antlers too much to take it down.

Here’s the thing. I have a new bloggy web crush. Her name is Havi Brooks. No, she doesn’t know I exist, and yes, that is a rubber duck on her shoulder.

More on the duck, later.

I have a crush on her because Havi does things on the web the way I used to do them before I started learning how I’m supposed to do things on the web, got all self conscious and mucked it all up. See, her marketing approach is to be shamelessly, unrelentingly, and blatantly herself, wearing her issues and quirks on her sleeve.

She also has a wicked sense of intuition, humor, and creativity. Sound familiar? [click to continue...]

Well, I do!

Sometimes I speak in a self conscious, half silenced and stammering voice. Other times, I speak with confidence, humor and certainty. Occasionally, I speak in images, lines and colors, messages formed with paintbrushes rather than vocal cords. And when I speak to God, it may be in syllables of untrained dance rhythms and motion.
