Way Outside the BOX

Just listened to a RadioGirl podcast featuring Lee Abrams. Lee talked about a lot of stuff and the take away for me was this. Traditional media is unwilling to move from the model everyone is comfortable with. A better assessment might be traditional media does not know how to monetize the paradigm shift.

When I speak to Radio Program Directors about changing how they think of their medium, I sometimes get the troubling "deer in the headlights" look. Our medium is no longer a push medium but needs desperately to become a "pull" medium. Users pull content they find interesting and consume it on their own schedules. Website development is critical yet many radio station operators are woefully behind not only in figuring out the revenue aspects but also how to invest monies wisely to create a superior product that users will "want" to pull from. Our content must be multimedia and include visuals-it's NOT about just the music anymore...users demand an interactive media experience and we better figure out how we are going to deliver this or face a quick and painful death.

IDEAS?

Yeah, tough isn't it?!

But NOT impossible.

Halloween In Savannah

Ok I had to chuckle at this one. Chatham County is going to hold a Press Conference about when kids should trick or treat this Halloween since it falls on a Sunday.

We should have the answer on Big 983.com

I LOST 40 POUNDS!!!

Need to get better at updating the BLOG shame on me. OK let's see. Oh yeah, I've lost 40 pounds of FAT. Not trying to be mean or condescending, it is what it is and I lost it. Hope I never see it again. Did I do it for vanity reasons? Nope. I have Type II Diabetes. I did it because I want to control the disease and not have it control me. It is bad enough that I need to take drugs to help control my Diabetes, however, since I have lost 40 pounds, my blood sugars are under control and nearing "normal". Of course there will never be normal. Diabetes just doesn't go away. It is a chronic disease and there is no cure, but it can be managed and one can learn to co-exist with the disease. Diabetes Type II is nothing to mess with. When it controls you bad things can happen. Loss of limbs, digits, eyesight, kidney trouble, liver problems, congestive heart failure--a whole list of stuff we don't want to think about or deal with.

Here's the skinny (oops). If you are overweight then you are vulnerable. Diabetes Type II is now invading our American adolescent population to alarming proportions. Get proactive and get healthy! Join me in the fight. Do NOT allow Diabetes to invade your life!

Be healthy, think healthy, eat healthy and exercise!

Facebook

Now I've done it! I have deleted my Facebook account...permanently. The privacy issues are a real concern. If you want to delete your Facebook account and not just de-activate then you need to look here...they make it real difficult to find on Facebook so I did the work for you.

Don't mean to be asocial but....I feel FREE!

A Grasshoppah Moment

Things that look easy are really snarling demons in clever disguises. Tempering my over confidence with humility might be the best path to getting the result I am looking for...pass the tofu and the incense please...having a grasshoppah moment. Oh and plug in the lava lamp and turn on the black light. Is that Scott McKenzie? Perfect!
