iPhone App Review: Dragon Dictation

by Jason Sanders Blogging

Ever since I got my iPhone a few months back, I’ve been regularly scouring the App Store looking for an application that would translate my spoken voice, or a recording into typed text.  There have been some out there that provided partial solutions, such as converting spoken word to a text message.  The trade off [...]

Are You The Airport Or The Infrequent Traveler?

I ask this question as a metaphor for business networking.  I find that people often take one of two approaches to networking.
1. They enthusiastically dive right in and start helping other people and setting up their network of referral partners.
2. They timidly stand back and evaluate what everyone else is doing to see if it’s [...]

Talking ‘Bout My Generation X

by Jason Sanders Economy

I ran across this recent gem of an article about the recession intensifying GenX discontent at work from the AP.  For those of you who are wondering what age group GenX represents, it’s us 32 to 44 year olds who are wedged between the Baby Boomers and their children.

My Twitter Policy

by Jason Sanders Twitter

Not too long ago, I put my twitter followers on notice. Between the spam and all the automated messages, it’s become harder and harder to use twitter in a meaningful way.  I wouldn’t be as opposed to automation if there were actually a person on the other side, but time after time, I’ve commented on [...]

by Jason Sanders Charity

Measured Impact is a contest that organizes labor for charity and also measures the strength (loyalty) of the contestants’ social media connections/relationships.  Here’s how:
When we all build our own “network” or “tribe” (or whatever hot word you want to use) our networks are actually cross-connected to a certain extent.  This makes me wonder, who are [...]

Are You A Big Picture Thinker?

by Jason Sanders Thoughts

I’ve come to accept that I’m a big picture thinker.  I have a knack for seeing implications of decisions and planning two or three steps ahead.  Being a big picture thinker isn’t always a positive though.
