TommyLog – The Home Life vs Work Balance

This week I had a very thought provoking chat with my friend Lisa @lisaredshoespr and Melissa regarding home life / work balance. In this day and age, is there really a life work balance? You have so many distractions, cell, web, TV, social media. is there balance anymore? Is your work just a 9 to 5 job? Can you just turn off work?

Red Shoes Speaks No. 67 News Aggregators for the Apple iPad

Lisa and Tommy talk about their picks for best news aggregators for their Apple iPads. Lisa likes Fluent News and the Daily and Tommy prefers flipboard. One beef they both find with the crop of newsreaders is the fact it takes time to download content and they are not very friendly in situations where you don’t have wifi or 3G access…like airline travel. There needs to be a way you can pre-download content for offline reading.

TommyLog – Bang Your Head Against a Wall

Yesterday I was at Red Shoes PR doing some filming. A frustrated Lisa comes in the room and says… Once you are finished banging your head against a wall, why not try the door? WOW..how profound and how true. Many times if you are just getting beaten up with a project, take a few steps backwards and take a closer look. Words to live by!
