Steve This past Saturday, my smartphone needed a software update that for some reason failed with a critical error. Simple solution for the service people was to say it needed a warranty replacement. Since it was late Saturday night, I would get one shipped out Monday for overnight delivery to me on Tuesday. My first thought [...]

No Comments » May 10th, 2010 Steve I would like to take some of my blog space and time to send a big thank-you to Laurie Buczek for her work as Program Manager for the internal social computing program. She is moving on. She is taking her ball and moving to our external social computing program. Being one of the folks that have [...]
April 16th, 2010 Steve I just completed Social Networking for Business, Choosing the Right Tools and Resources to Fit Your Needs, by Rawn Shah. This book would have been handy a couple of years ago, when I started down the social computing path inside of my employer. The book is very well organized and is detailed enough to pass onto [...]
April 7th, 2010 Steve After a long morning, I decided to step away from the office and take my lunch at one of the local eateries, Wildflower Bread Company located in the Chandler Fashion Mall. I really was feeling the need for their Caribbean salad and some quiet time. I was treated to my usual expectations of the food, [...]
March 21st, 2010 Steve Spin-o-rama turned one this past week! In 2009, I took some goals that were both professional and personal. I have been blogging internally now for about 3 years and have really enjoyed the experience. One goal was to kick off my external blogging and everything that goes with it. After looking back this past week, I have [...]
February 4th, 2010 Steve Yesterday was a special day for me! I spent the afternoon leading a team of judges for Haley Elementary Science Fair and the evening talking to parents about projects. I want to share the journey from setting up getting the volunteer judges to judging and finishing up with the evening events. Getting volunteers sometimes is difficult. Especially [...]
January 20th, 2010 Steve I have struggled with this topic for quite some time. I have pretty much worked in 3 organizations all my life (2 large ones – US Army and Intel; 1 small – Myron’s Service Center). No one will argue that the military is anything but command and control… Oh, don’t get me wrong there is [...]

By the time some have read this post – we are in 2010 already. I am not one for predicting the future – as if I could I would be independently worthy and enjoying myself on my own island somewhere. In the spirit of the this time of [...]
Posted in Observations Tags: people, predictions, social computing, social media, Vision No Comments » November 5th, 2009 Steve I have spent the past 3 days attending the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, CA. Where I work, we like to sit back and assess where we are (and of course, we like to lead – wherever possible). I plan on posting my complete assessment of the conference in another post… But, first a [...]
Posted in Observations Tags: collaboration, communication, E2.0, fear, social computing, social media No Comments » October 21st, 2009 Steve I have been spending a lot of my time, talking and evangelizing our internal social computing capabilities. I bet that the cube mates around me, could easily repeat my discussions. I feel like a broken record at times. The funny thing is – I am not getting tired of the discussions and opportunities. The fact [...]
