I subscribe to, and occasionally read, a blog published by marketing expert Seth Godin. I think Seth has some very interesting observations and useful tips on marketing. If you haven’t read some of his books like, Permission Marketing or All Marketers Are Liars , you should. I don’t always agree with Seth, but he often causes me to think about something in a way I haven’t before.

If you’re one of my Facebook or Twitter friends, you know I love the Tour de France. You probably also noticed how angry I am about ESPN’s Michael Smith laughing online and during his show, Around the Horn , about two cyclists being hit hard by a car on Sunday during stage 9 of the Tour. You can see how hard in the video shown on Dutch TV. No Dutch is required to know what the commentators are saying.

Sizzling hot in Toronto as I write this! (They say it's the hottest day on record since recording began!) Thank goodness the air conditioning is running flawlessly!

I’m a Beyoncé fan. She’s a great singer who knows the meaning of showmanship. As a fan, I’m not in love with her new record, but I have develop a fondness for her current radio hit Best Thing I Never Had. The song tells of the virtues of finding out that the love of your life was a complete jerk before it was too late. I was listening to this song earlier today and made a striking observation.

This morning I was reminded that I spend a lot of my time in a world that’s very different than the world many others live in. Maybe I’m in a bubble. When the citizens of my world go to an educational session or a conference, we bring our laptops and phones. We take them out, listen and type, tweet or text. This is how we digest information, learn and share.

In my first association job, sharing drafts of projects you were working on with the entire the team was the norm: everyone had voice into our major initiatives. Feedback would range from correcting typos to suggesting major shifts in strategy. Ultimately, you decided the best path forward, but it was now informed by others' perspectives. In those days, you routed a paper draft of your project plan through everyone in the office to get their input.
