Misery

by Joe Spake on February 24, 2010

The pundits and politicians have been buzzing and posturing since last week’s Forbes article citing Memphis as number 3 among America’s 10 most miserable cities.  While Mayor Wharton whittles away at quality of life issues, and preaches that Memphis must control it’s own message and tell it’s own story; and Congressman Cohen challenges Steve Forbes [...]

Human aggregators – the latest magic bullet?

by Joe Spake on February 13, 2010

Everyone’s looking for a magic bullet to conquer social media, leverage Web 2.0 to their advantage, dominate the digital marketplace, and further their self-described expert/guru status.  This seems to be especially prevalent with the late adopters in RE.net ( the real estate cool kids of Web 2.0),  but I see traces of the magic bullet [...]

Luddites 2.0

by Joe Spake on January 8, 2010

Most of the What’s going to happen in Technology in 2010 articles and blog posts have been published, many similar to this one from Globalthoughtz – 10 Technologies that will rock 2010.   I try to keep up with the major trends, but the amount of technology news and innovation out there is mind-boggling, even when [...]

Think blogging is a hassle? Try Posterous

by Joe Spake on December 5, 2009

I have found that a lot of folks I work with think blogging is too much of a hassle, requires some sort of esoteric knowledge, and does not foster spontaneity.  Well how would a blogging platform that lets you post pictures, video, documents, and your brilliant thoughts, via email work for you?  And how about [...]

If you have lived in Memphis for a while you have some special memories of things that happened inside the Mid-South Coliseum.  I always thought the building looked more like a spacecraft than a multi-purpose arena – and it still does look it could launch at any moment.

The building opened in 1963.  The first concert [...]

First Recipe on this blog – so it must be good

by Joe Spake on November 24, 2009

Thanksgiving week always begs the question:  Turkey or Sides?  I am a sides man.  You can get about a million casserole variations at this time of the year: green bean, broccoli, squash, sweet potato, etc., etc., but a few weeks ago Katy made a Hominy Casserole that, I guarantee, will be the most popular side [...]

San Diego is beautiful

by Joe Spake on November 21, 2009

San Diego, originally uploaded by joespake.
I love San Diego. I really hated to have to leave. Beautiful people, beautiful architecture, beautiful weather.
The weather people must have the most boring job in town – “fair and mild, fair and mild, fair and mild”
