Penny Wars for Haiti

Tommy’s Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet was a hit. So much fun. His cub master of many years stepped down from his post. I have sop much respect and love for people who serve children in that capacity. AMAZING!!! But today’s highlight is the student assembly at Gegan Elementary where it was announced they made $2000.00 in a penny war for Haiti. The generous gift from the folks at Red Shoes PR with a $600 match made it all possible. Of course there were the fine folks at Prospera Credit Union who counted all the loose change. There was a HUGE 3×5 foot check to give to the American Red Cross. Oh man, warm and fuzzies all around.

Tommy’s Blue & Gold Banquet

Today was Tommy’s Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet. What a great day to be a kid. I’m so proud of my son Tommy. Today made me think fondly of my father and all the sacrifices he made to be with me and my activities. I love being a dad!! I love the example my dad is for me and my life. Fatherhood is amazing. You can’t put it into words.

Only 3 more days left at my current job. I’m so excited. Well actually really 2.5 as my exit interview is at 11:00 on Friday. And after that I guess I just go back to my desk and cry the afternoon away… So great! So Amazing to see what next!!!

Red Shoes Speak No. 16: Olympic Tape Delays

Jess Dennis and Tommytrc discuss the 2010 Winter Olympics and how social media is negatively affecting tape delays in programming. Can networks like NBC continue to control when live events are aired and whether participants can discuss the proceedings in their social networks? Are the big networks acting as gatekeepers and trying to control the message? Control freaks or not, discuss on Twitter using the hashtag #redshoesspeak.

Online With Erin – FourSquare

For this week Online with Erin Davisson, I was asked about a new social media craze called FourSquare. FourSquare is a geo-location tool to tell your friends where you. Kinda like geo-tagging in the big city. You get points for going to different places and can see how many points your friends have.  See what Ross LaRocco and myself have to say to Erin. Thanks Erin and WFRV for having me on the show again!
